Find photos of makeup and hairstyles you like for reference - to share with your party MUA so that they can easily understand your preferences. However, do trust them to know what style will suit your skin type and face shape as well, plus complement your outfit.

If you’re getting ready at the venue, ensure your packed your outfit, jewellery, footwear and button down shirt before you leave the house.

If you’re having your saree or dupatta draped, do find reference photos of the draping style you want as well.

Find a button down shirt or top to wear (and put your blouse on beforehand) so that you don’t ruin your makeup and hair when you’re changing.

Keep your face moisturised as it helps the makeup to go on smoothly and primes the face so that the makeup doesn’t look cakey (dry skin equals flaking makeup)

Do NOT get a facial done in the 1-2 days before your makeup session as one should not get makeup done immediately after that.

You should also prepare a mini touch-up kit with pins, blotting paper, lipstick, moisturiser, foundation and concealer to touch-up at the venue if you need to.

Feel free to tell your MUA what you don’t want. For example, you may not want eyelash extensions or a dramatic winged liner - just tell the artist it’s not something you like. She will respect your wishes.

Check that the colour of your face, neck and back are the same. If not, remind the MUA to apply foundation on all exposed skin.

Talk about your preferences with your makeup artist - show her photographs of what you like.

If the makeup does not meet your expectations, go ahead and ask the makeup artist to either tone it down or make it bolder.

Click a photo and check how the makeup is looking on camera - in both natural and artificial lighting.

Finally, you can ensure your kajal stays on for longer by using a cotton bud to dry your waterline before applying kajal. And ensure primer is applied on your face and over the eyelids before the makeup goes on to help it last longer.

Check for dry patches where the makeup is flaking. If there are any, ask the MUA to gently dab moisturiser on the area and correct it.

Ensure the base matches your skin tone.

Check if blemishes, acne marks and pimples are covered to your satisfaction. However, do understand that it’s not possible to completely cover them without making it look unnatural.

For sari draping, do the same thing and move around to check that the pleats don’t open and that it’s easy to sit and stand without opening up the sari.

Check if your hairstyle is holding up well and in place - move your head around to check it’s not opening up
