Day of makeup or hair first?

Tara, on August 11, 2019 at 8:53 AM Posted in Planning 0 9
Hi all

I am working on my timing for the day and trying to figure out if i should do makeup or hair first. Honestly I’m not sure if it makes much of a difference but I’m curious what others are thinking or have done?

    I'm thinking hair first since it will take longer and you want your mu to be fresh as possible for pictures

    Most stylists do hair first

    Your stylist should help with your day of timing. But most do hair first due to all of the heat tools being used. If you get hot, it may cause you to sweat some of your makeup off. So it’s typically hair then makeup.

    Hair first. You will sweat off your makeup while they are using hot tools around your face. It's not a big deal for your makeup artist to move your hair out of the way the just do touch ups to your hair after.

    I always did hair then makeup, so the heat from the hair tools doesn't melt my makeup. However, my HAMU artist did makeup then hair so the hairspray would act as a second setting spray for the makeup. Everyone looked great and HAMU stayed on well!

    I hadn’t even thought about the heat of the tools. I was mainly thinking of frizz and humidity- I’m a curly haired person. This has been helpful and i agree, I will do hair first. Thank you everyone!
