Everything you need to run your makeup artist business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Bridal Trial & Wedding Date Linking

Tie the trial to the wedding booking so you don’t lose track of what was agreed. Keep notes on shades, skin prep, lash style, and timings, all attached to the client record rather than scattered across screenshots.

Deposit-First Booking to Secure the Slot

Set deposits for weddings, trials and event makeup so you’re not holding Saturdays for free. Clients book, pay, and receive confirmation automatically, which cuts down on ‘are you still available?’ follow-ups.

Call Time & Slot Length Controls

Offer different durations for bridal, glam, lessons and group bookings, including buffer time for sanitising brushes, cleaning down, and packing kit. Your calendar stays realistic, not optimistic.

Location, Venue Notes & Travel Fees

Capture postcode, venue name, parking notes and access info at the point of booking. Add travel charges and early start fees automatically, so you’re not negotiating costs in the middle of a busy Saturday.

Prep Messages Clients Actually Need

Send the essentials: skincare prep, what to bring for a trial, patch-test guidance for strip lashes/adhesive sensitivity, and when to avoid fake tan. Fewer day-before questions, fewer surprises in the chair.

Client Record for Photos, Notes & Preferences

Keep reference images, allergies, product preferences, and previous looks in one place. Perfect for repeat clients, brides returning for events, or when you’re juggling multiple faces in a wedding party.

The challenges every makeup artist faces

Trials, wedding mornings, and timings that can’t slip

A bridal trial is one length, wedding morning makeup is another, and group bookings need proper spacing. If you’re relying on manual diary notes, it’s easy to under-allow time for skin prep, lash application, touch-ups and packing down, which causes knock-on delays.

No-shows and ‘soft bookings’ from DMs

Clients often message “can you pencil me in?” and disappear for days while they shop around. Meanwhile you’re holding prime weekend slots. Without a deposit and clear confirmation, you’re left with last-minute cancellations and gaps you can’t refill.

Travel, parking and location details getting lost

On-location work means postcodes, parking restrictions, venue access, and whether you’re setting up in a hotel room or a bridal suite. When this info is buried in WhatsApp threads, you end up chasing it the night before or arriving flustered.

Pricing that changes by job type and kit requirements

A natural day look, full glam, bridal, mature skin, lesson bookings and group packages all price differently. Add-ons like lashes, travel, early start fees and extra artists need to be applied consistently, otherwise you’re doing maths in messages and risking awkward payment chats.

Built for real makeup artist workflows

A typical day starts before you touch a brush. You’re checking tomorrow’s call time, confirming the address, and making sure you’ve got enough time between jobs for travel and parking. Then the messages begin: a bride asking if she can swap her trial time, a prom client wanting to add lashes, and someone else asking for “full glam” but not saying where they are. Without a proper system, you’re di...

Quick Setup

1

List Your Services Properly (Trials, Bridal, Glam, Lessons)

Add your core services with realistic timings: bridal trial, bridal on the day, bridesmaid/mum, party glam, soft glam, makeup lesson, and strip lashes. Set what’s included and what counts as an add-on so pricing stays consistent.

2

Set Deposits, Travel Charges and Early Start Fees

Choose deposit rules for weddings and trials, and decide when the remaining balance is due. Add travel pricing by area and an early start fee for pre-7am call times, so you’re not negotiating costs in DMs.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our makeup artist booking system.

Try it free
How do you handle urgent, last-minute makeup bookings (same-day or next-day)?

You can keep a few short notice slots open for party makeup, prom or “I’ve been let down” bookings. Clients see only what’s actually available and can pay immediately to secure it. You can also set minimum notice periods so you’re not getting 11pm requests for a 7am start.

Can I manage different job types like bridal trials, wedding mornings and makeup lessons?

Yes — you set each service with its own duration, price and booking questions. A trial can include extra time for consultation and photos, while a lesson can include a longer slot and a different payment rule. This stops clients booking the wrong thing and expecting a different service on the day.

When should I take payment for bridal makeup in the UK?

Most MUAs take a deposit to secure the wedding date, then take the balance closer to the day or on the wedding morning. The system lets you take deposits at booking and set clear payment stages so it’s agreed upfront. It reduces awkward chasing and makes your terms feel professional and consistent.

Does it help with seasonal peaks like wedding season, proms and Christmas parties?

That’s exactly when it matters most because you’re getting enquiries while you’re working back-to-back. Online booking means clients can book and pay without waiting for a reply, which helps you fill gaps efficiently. You can also adjust availability and add seasonal services like “party glam + lashes” packages.

Can I manage multiple artists for larger bridal parties?

If you work with an assistant or a second MUA, you can organise bookings so you know who’s assigned to which slot and where they need to be. It’s especially useful for wedding mornings with tight schedules and multiple locations. You avoid over-promising and then scrambling to find cover.

How does it help turn enquiries into confirmed bookings?

Instead of endless back-and-forth, you can send a single booking link with your available trial slots, pricing and deposit requirement. Clients can commit immediately while they’re still excited about the booking. That reduces the ‘I’ll get back to you’ drop-off that happens in DMs.

Can I automate client communication like prep instructions and reminders?

Yes — you can send confirmations, reminders and prep notes automatically. This is ideal for skincare prep guidance, what to bring to a trial, and timing expectations for wedding mornings. It cuts down on repetitive messages and helps clients arrive prepared.

Can I offer flexible pricing for travel, lashes, early starts and group bookings?

You can build pricing that matches real-world makeup work: add travel fees by area, charge for lashes, and apply early start fees when needed. For weddings, you can offer packages for bridal parties with add-ons for extra faces. It keeps quotes consistent and avoids undercharging because you forgot to include something.

Why iBookFast for your makeup artist business?

Makeup bookings aren’t like a simple haircut slot. A bridal trial needs time for consultation, skin assessment, trying different finishes, and taking photos in decent light. A wedding morning is a timed schedule where you might be doing four to eight faces, working around hair, photographers and venue check-in. Even a “quick” party makeup booking can turn into a longer job once you factor in skin...
