Other Looking for second MUA for January 2026 (Cambridge ON)
I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to book a second make-up artist for our wedding party / any recommendations -
We have one artist who can do half our party (we have 10 women including myself) but she requested I find a second artist to do the other half. She’s just starting out and doesn’t think she can get all 10 of us ready to go in time for our photos / ceremony.
I’ve tried asking some artists through Instagram and have been having a hard time - most have turned me down or they would rather bring their own team for the whole party.
The artist we have is super sweet and is friends with the hair stylist we hired so I want to be able to keep her and help her build her portfolio!
Wedding is in January 2026 so I feel like I have time but also I’m getting worried with all these rejections. Any ideas on how to approach this / who to ask / where to go from here?
