Hi,
I was wondering how long it takes you to do a professional makeup job? A bride? mother of the bride? how long would you spend on eyes/face ect... . I feel it takes me too long. Need to speed it up. Any suggestions please? thanks!

ive done plenty of Bridal Parties and usually i take about 15 mins each face what i.like to.do.ask.them.to.prepare there face by adding face primer eye prime concealer and then.ill finish the rest.it.helps me.alot 15 mins top  

I take 20-30 min on the bridal party & 40-45min on the bride. I don't have them apply anything but moisturizer... Only because I feel like if their paying me to do their makeup I should do the full job. Good luck! :)

I agree with Hannah, generally 20-30 on anyone but the bride and 40-45 on the bride. I apply everything. If I see someone is super dry then i'll apply moisturizer to them and give it time to "soak" in. I keep the timer on my phone right in front of me so that I know exactly where i'm at. Generally 10-15 min on eyes 10-15 min on the rest of the face. Most bridal mornings are at warp speed so the timer is KEY, i don't have an alarm go off, it's really just to keep me and the party on track. ;-)
