I have a shoot coming up and was just informed there are 10-15 models and I am the only artists. I am wondering how fast can you complete a models face (with and without an airbrush if applicable)? also do you think I need one more artist? or maybe two?

I am completely in the dark right now. I have no details. not sure if they expect me to do hair also or if they have someone. I am going to speak with the photog tonight. now is it my responsibility to get the other artists or the photog?

Is this your first job?
Its surprising they would offer a newbie 10-15 models. Well if your at 30mins times 15. Thats 7 1/2 hrs. Which will be unacceptable. The shoot will be long over before your even prepared. My advice would be to find 2other trusted and competent muas to come along side you. If they won't do it pro bono then you will either have to renegotiate your fee or pay them from it. Thats a big job and I hope it works out for the better.
I'm not trying to be hard, just tryin to be real.

At MAC, we have to do 30mins full face. the trick is to multi task.
