Cáo Studio – Makeup & Photoshoot sends certified makeup artists to Fraser Suites Hanoi (and across central Hanoi) for in-room bridal, event, and everyday makeup 06:00–21:00 daily. Service includes a 30–60 minute consultation, skin prep, full face application, and two hours of in-room availability for photos or touch-ups. Cost varies by service type—message us via WhatsApp for a quote based on your look, complexity, and group size. Booking requires a deposit; we confirm 48 hours ahead. Most guests book 1–3 days before their event to allow a trial if needed. Fraser Suites' central location near Hoan Kiem Lake means easy travel for us year-round. Avoid last-minute requests during peak season (Sept–Nov); book early, communicate skin sensitivities, and provide clear mood images.
How far ahead should you book at Fraser Suites Hanoi?
Book 7–14 days before your event for a trial and guaranteed artist availability. For weddings, book 2–4 weeks ahead—trials are essential in Hanoi's humidity (70–90% year-round), which affects how products set and last. If you're arriving without a trial, message us 48 hours before and request a "walk-through" (we review your skin, product choices, and timing at check-in). Peak season (Sept–Nov) fills faster; same-day or 24-hour bookings succeed only outside weddings. Last-minute requests receive quotes within 2 hours but may incur a rush fee.

What makeup styles work best in Hanoi humidity?
Hanoi's 70–90% humidity year-round demands waterproof bases, long-wear primers, and setting powders—standard waterproof products fail after 4–6 hours without reinforcement. Korean-style makeup) (skin-focused, glass-skin finishes) works well because it prioritizes hydration and light layers; Western contouring (heavy powders, matte finishes) slides or oxidizes by midday unless sealed with setting spray every 2 hours. Our artists use transfer-resistant foundations and brow products that tolerate sweat and humidity. Cream blushes and liquid highlighters outperform powders. If you're torn between styles, request a makeup class to test both; most Fraser Suites guests choose a hybrid: Korean-style prep with Western contouring accent to suit both climate and camera.
What's the difference between a bridal trial and an event touch-up?
A bridal trial (typically 60–90 minutes) includes three test runs of your full look, adjustments to brow shape and undertones, sweat and humidity stress-testing, and a detailed "wear plan" (when to blot, reapply, or refresh). You leave with photos and notes. An event touch-up (20–30 minutes, in-room after the main artist finishes) covers powder, lip refresh, and brow tidy—no redesign. Bridal makeup in Hanoi always includes the trial; event & party makeup skips it unless you pay extra. For Fraser Suites guests marrying nearby, schedule the trial 5–7 days before the wedding; it's your insurance against humidity failure on the day.
How to prepare your skin before the artist arrives at your hotel room
| Skin prep step | Timing | Why it matters | What to avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleanse gently | 30 min before | Removes oils, balms, and humidity residue | Hot water; scrubs; active acids the day-of |
| Moisturize | 15 min before | Plumps skin in dry hotel AC; hydrates before primer | Heavy silicone serums (slide foundation) |
| Prime lightly | 5 min before | Creates a base for humidity resistance | Pore-filling primers (cake in heat) |
| Close hotel curtains | 10 min before | Reduces sweat during consultation; steadies lighting | Bright daylight (shifts colour matching) |
| Have water + tissues | On standby | Keeps skin cool; blots sweat between sections | Touching your face (disturbs base) |
Our artists arrive with hydrating mists and setting sprays; tell them your skin type and any product allergies before they begin. If your room is warm (common in Sept–Oct), request the AC be set to 20–21°C thirty minutes before. Many Fraser Suites guests send us their hotel room number the morning of; we confirm entrance with the concierge to avoid delays.
Should you book a makeup artist or a makeup class at Fraser Suites?
| Service | Best for | Duration | Cost basis | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-room makeup | Events, weddings, daily touch-ups | 45–120 min | Varies by look type | Professional finish; artist handles all product |
| 1-to-1 makeup class | Learning technique; building routine; confidence | 60–90 min | Per session rate | You apply; artist guides; keeps skills |
| Trial + service combo | Brides; perfectionism; humidity testing | 2–3 hours total | Bridal package | Two looks tested; expert adjustments; wear plan |
If you're marrying in Hanoi and staying at Fraser Suites, a trial + in-room service is standard. If you're visiting and want to refresh your everyday routine, a makeup class teaches you humidity hacks for the whole year. Book both only if you have time and budget; most guests choose one. Classes happen at our Cáo Studio location or in your hotel room upon request.
What to check before you book a makeup artist for your Fraser Suites event
Artist credentials & experience:
- Confirm they've worked in Hanoi humidity before (at least 50+ events).
- Ask for before/after photos in similar lighting to your venue.
- Verify they carry backup products (in case an allergy or formula fails).
Your skin & product allergies:
- Email or message a list of ingredients or brands you're allergic to.
- Many artists source from Korean makeup lines (hydrating, compatible with humid climates).
- Mention if you've reacted to silicone primers or long-wear foundations.
Timing & logistics:
- Confirm the artist can arrive 90 minutes before your event (allows buffer for humidity or touch-up).
- Provide your Fraser Suites room number, floor, and a contact number 24 hours before.
- Lock in deposit and payment method (bank QR code or as agreed).
Event-specific details:
- Share your venue's lighting type (tungsten, LED, natural) and temperature (outdoor/AC).
- Send 3–5 mood photos of looks you love (style, colour palette, intensity).
- Confirm whether you want matte, dewy, or satin finish (humidity affects longevity differently).
Backup plan:
- Ask the artist if they offer a "refresh kit" (blotting powder, lip product, setting spray) to take with you.
- Request a written "wear guide" with reapplication times and product names.
