These guides collect the information that helps an artist plan the right team, kit, timing and continuity. Use them internally, share them with a producer or planner, or cite the page when publishing a practical makeup-planning resource.

Guide 01 / Production

On-set makeup brief
& continuity checklist.

For commercials, films, OTT, interviews, campaigns and public-figure appearances.

  1. 01

    Project essentials

    Share the format, deliverables, shoot dates, location, call times, cast size and the final camera or capture format.

  2. 02

    Creative references

    Send the approved treatment, look references, wardrobe direction and any notes from the director, agency or talent team.

  3. 03

    Talent requirements

    Confirm the number of people, look changes, grooming needs and any disclosed sensitivities or accessibility requirements.

  4. 04

    Continuity plan

    Flag multi-day scenes, pickups, weather changes, stunts, water, sweat, prosthetics or other conditions that affect continuity.

  5. 05

    Set logistics

    Confirm a clean makeup station, power, mirror, lighting, chair, water, parking or unit access and a secure place for the kit.

  6. 06

    Approvals and privacy

    Name the person who approves each look and confirm photography, confidentiality, embargo and social-posting rules before call time.

Guide 02 / Bridal

Destination bridal
planning timeline.

For multi-event weddings in India, Dubai, the UK and other travel destinations.

  1. 01

    At enquiry

    Share the city, venue, event dates, ready-by times, number of people and the looks required for each function.

  2. 02

    8–12 weeks before

    Schedule the trial where possible. Bring outfit, jewellery and hair references so the complete look can be assessed together.

    Lock the event schedule, final looks, artist team, travel plan, room access and the order in which family members will be ready.

  4. 04

    7 days before

    Avoid introducing unfamiliar treatments or products. Confirm the getting-ready room has daylight or good neutral lighting, tables and power points.

  5. 05

    48 hours before

    Reconfirm addresses, room numbers, contact people, ready-by times, transport access and any schedule change with the artist team.

  6. 06

    On the day

    Keep outfits, jewellery, lenses and accessories in the room before the start time, and allow a calm buffer before photography or departure.
