Makeup Artist Booking Site with Bridal Timelines, Trials and Deposits

Mythex lets a freelance makeup artist build a portfolio site that checks the date first, bridal booking with a trial and a deposit, and a wedding-morning timeline page the bride can forward to every bridesmaid. You describe your services, travel area and fees in chat, look at the live preview and publish with a real database.

What a wedding season really involves

A makeup artist's year is built on Saturdays from spring to autumn, many booked a year or more ahead. A bridal booking is several appointments in one: a trial a few weeks before, then an early morning at the venue working through bridesmaids and mothers so the bride is finished last and on time for the photographer. Party sizes change, someone wants lashes added, the venue is an hour beyond your usual area, and all of it is confirmed across dozens of messages. Balances get chased the morning of the wedding. An artist needs each booking to hold its date, party list, start times, travel and money in one place, and to share the timeline without forty texts.

What you can build for makeup artists

A portfolio by occasion with a date-first enquiry

Bridal, editorial, events and prom work sit in separate galleries. A page explains how bridal bookings work, trial, deposit and the day, and lists your travel area with fees beyond it. The enquiry form asks for the date first and tells the visitor straight away if it is free.

Build a website for my makeup artist business with galleries for bridal, editorial, events and prom, a page explaining bridal bookings (trial, deposit, wedding day), my travel area with a fee per mile beyond it, and an enquiry form where the event date comes first and shows whether I am available.

Wedding mornings scheduled backward from the ceremony

Enter the ready-by time, the party list and the time per person, and the booking works backward with the bride last and a buffer before the photographer arrives. Travel to the venue is blocked before and after, and the trial is booked a few weeks ahead.

Create a booking system for bridal makeup. For a wedding I enter the bride's ready-by time, the venue, and each person in the party with a service (45 minutes for bridesmaids, 75 for the bride). Work out start times backward with the bride last and a 15-minute buffer, block travel time to the venue, and link a trial booked 4 to 8 weeks before.

A bride's page the whole party can open

Each bride gets a page with the morning timeline and every person's slot, trial notes and photos of the agreed look, preparation notes for the party, and the balance due date. She forwards the timeline link to her bridesmaids.

Build a client portal for my bridal clients. Each bride sees the wedding morning timeline with each person's time, a shareable timeline link for the bridal party, trial notes and photos of the agreed look, preparation tips, and her deposit and balance with the due date.

Deposits that hold the date and balances due before the day

A non-refundable deposit secures the date. The balance invoice goes out with a due date a week or two before the wedding, with per-person charges, travel and early-start fees on their own lines.

Make an invoicing app for my makeup business. Bridal bookings take a non-refundable deposit to hold the date and a balance due 14 days before the wedding. Invoices list each person in the party, travel fee and early-start fee before 7am as separate lines, and show what is still owed.

Client notes and the venues that send you brides

Each booking holds date, venue and party size. Clients keep skin type, allergies, the products used and trial photos. Every booking records the venue or photographer who referred it.

Make a CRM for my makeup artist business. Bookings have event date, venue and party size. Clients have skin type, allergies, products used and trial photos. Record who referred each booking (venue, photographer, past bride) and show bookings per referrer.

Self-makeup lessons for the quiet months

A short video course on the look clients ask for most, with a kit list per lesson and downloadable face charts, sells between seasons and leads into one-to-one lessons.

Create an online course for my makeup business: 'Your Everyday Look' with six short video lessons, a product kit list for each lesson, downloadable face charts, and a link to book a one-to-one lesson at the end.

Before next wedding season

Enter every date already booked for next season with venue, party size and deposit status, so the date check on your site is accurate from day one. Publish the remaining Saturdays on a season page. Then move current brides onto their own timeline page as you finish their trials. New enquiries go straight into the system.

Timeline pages created after each trial

Allergies and skin notes

You will record allergies, skin conditions and photos of clients' faces. Keep those notes private to you and any assistant, ask before using trial photos in your portfolio, and delete them when a client asks. Mythex builds the access controls; the data protection rules where you work are yours to follow.

Questions

Can clients see if I am free on their wedding date?

Yes. Put the date first on the enquiry form and check it against your bookings. The visitor sees right away whether the date is open.

Can it build the wedding morning schedule for me?

Yes. Enter the ready-by time, the party and the time per person, and it works out each start time with the bride last and a buffer. You can adjust any slot by hand.

Can I take a deposit online?

Yes, through a payment provider such as Stripe connected with your own account. The deposit and balance show on the bride's page.

Can I link it from Instagram?

Yes. Put your published site's link in your bio and story highlights so enquiries land on the date check.

Do I need coding skills or money to start?

No to both. You describe what you want in chat, and the Free plan builds and publishes with no card. Pro at $25/month adds your own domain, code editing and export.
