Your clients' looks,
remembered.

Six weeks after the trial, your bride asks for "the same blush as last time". You'll know which one it was, which shade, and exactly where it went.

Free to start. No card, no trial countdown.

Clients

Never lose track of a big day

A season of weddings starts to blur. Every client keeps their own date, brief and notes, and the next one sits in order, counting down.

  • The brief, the notes, the allergies, the skin and hair details, all in one place
  • Where they're getting ready and what time you start, there the morning you need it
  • Drop the big day and every appointment straight into your phone's calendar

Appointments

Every trial, ready to recreate

You already do the hard part at the trial. This is what saves you having to remember it months later. Every product, every shade, and photos of the finished look.

  • Tick products off your own kit instead of typing them out again
  • Shades ordered the way you read them, so 2 comes before 10
  • A face chart for where everything actually went

The day sheet

The morning, hour by hour

Bride at 11:30, three bridesmaids before that, and the mother of the bride who booked late. Add everyone and the times work themselves out. Drag to reorder when the morning changes, because it usually does.

  • The things you only find out once: the door code, where to park, who needs a bit longer
  • It saves as you type, because nobody is tapping Save at 7am
  • Send it out as a PDF, free, always
A wedding-day sheet listing each person by time with notes beside them.

  • A wishlist for the things you've got your eye on

The community

Ask the artists who have been there

What to charge. What to carry. What to say to the enquiry that wants your day for half your rate. And which setting spray actually survives a nor'wester. Private, and only for makeup artists and hairstylists.

Why it exists

"I'm a bridal makeup artist in Christchurch, New Zealand and I built Artist Archive because I needed it. I was over scrolling through months of photos, trying to find the email with feedback and remembering what we did, so I made a solution"

Questions

The things people ask

Is it only for bridal?

It grew from bridal because that is what I was doing when I came up with this solution. However, anything with a trial, appointments, a date and a face works the same way, and a lot of it is simply a good record of what you used on somebody.

Does it do bookings and payments?

No, and that is on purpose. There are already apps for taking bookings and money. This is the part nobody built: what you did, what you used, and what they asked for.

Is it for hairstylists too?

Yes. The consultation records hair as well as makeup, and you tell it which you do or if you do both.

What happens to my photos?

They stay yours. Nobody else can see your clients or their photos, and you can download or delete them whenever you like. The privacy policy explains exactly what is stored and where.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. Everything saves to your phone first and syncs when you are back on a connection.
