The gold standard for makeup application is natural daylight (not overhead or ceiling amber lights). Ideally facing a window (not with the window behind you, which creates shadows). Whether you are booking artistry in a hotel, Airbnb or private residence - natural light should be available. This allows you to see colors exactly as they are, ensuring your makeup looks just as stunning in sunlight as it does in a vanity mirror situation.
