💄 How to Choose a Makeup Artist in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

Whether you’re prepping for a wedding in Syokimau, a birthday shoot in Kilimani, or a corporate event in Eldoret, one thing’s clear—you want a makeup artist who understands your skin, your style, and your moment.

Here are five things to check before you book a makeup artist in Kenya:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

Instagram filters can hide a lot. What you need is real feedback from real clients.

What to look for:

  • ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
  • ✅Ratings and reviews from past bookings
  • ✅Portfolio photos (before & after shots)
  • ✅Clear service descriptions (bridal, editorial, glam, etc.)

💡 On Balozy, every makeup artist is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🧴 2. Do They Understand Your Skin Type?

Kenya’s climate varies—from humid Mombasa to dry Eldoret. Your artist should know how to prep and set your look for the day.

Ask before booking:

  • ✅Do you offer skin prep for oily/dry/sensitive skin?
  • ✅What brands do you use?
  • ✅Can you match my skin tone and undertone?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?

Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster service and easier coordination.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find makeup artists in Nairobi, Machakos, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?

You want someone who confirms your booking, arrives on time, and listens to your vision—not someone who ghosts or improvises.

Look for:

  • ✅Fast response time on the app
  • ✅Clear pricing and package options
  • ✅Respectful, professional tone

💍 5. Do They Offer Event-Specific Packages?

Bridal glam isn’t the same as a photoshoot or a corporate look. A good artist tailors their kit and timing to your event.

Ask:

  • ✅Do you offer bridal trials?
  • ✅Can you do group bookings for bridesmaids or colleagues?
  • ✅Do you travel to venues?
