Instagram Auto DM for Makeup artists: Keywords, DM Scripts and What to Sell

Every GRWM reel ends with the same three comments: "which foundation?", "bridal rates?", "do you teach?". An Instagram auto DM for makeup artists turns each of those into a sale or a booking without you typing a reply at 11 pm. With the Viralyze app you set a keyword per question, and the matching DM goes out with your product list, your bridal booking page or your class checkout in about a second.

What do makeup artists actually sell from a reel?

Three things, and they map neatly to three keywords: bridal bookings, trial sessions and a self-makeup class.

Bridal work is high value and date-bound, so it belongs on a booking page rather than in a back-and-forth DM. A sample menu:

• Bridal makeup, in person, 3 hours, ₹15,000
• Engagement or reception look, 2 hours, ₹6,000
• Trial session, 90 minutes, ₹2,500 (adjusted against the bridal booking)
• Add-ons: hairstyling ₹2,500, saree or lehenga draping ₹1,000, second look ₹4,000

The bride picks the main service and add-ons, the total and duration combine on their own, and she pays upfront by UPI or card. Your Google Calendar blocks the date, so two brides can never hold the same morning.

The class is a digital product. A recorded "self-makeup for working women" course at ₹1,499 sells through a checkout page the app makes for you, at a 0% platform fee with weekly payouts.

Which keywords should a makeup artist use?

Pick words a viewer already has in mind while watching.

1. PRODUCTS on any GRWM or transformation reel. The DM sends a product list PDF. Long lists become a downloadable PDF automatically, and open tracking shows who actually opened it. 2. BRIDAL on wedding-look reels. The DM sends the bridal menu booking link. 3. CLASS on tutorial reels where you explain a technique. The DM sends the course checkout.

Set PRODUCTS as an "any post" automation so it works on every reel you ever publish. Hinglish and typo spellings such as "prodcts" or "products batao" trigger as well, because matching is not case-sensitive and forgiving.

A DM script that converts bridal enquiries

"Hey! Thanks for the love on the Sabyasachi-inspired look. Bridal dates for the November and December season are open here: [booking link]. You can add hairstyling and draping on the same page. Which date and city is the wedding? I will confirm travel once you pick a slot."

The AI variations feature rewrites this slightly for each person, so ten brides do not receive the identical paragraph and compare notes. When a bride replies with her date, the message appears in the Viralyze Inbox with her original comment attached, and she becomes a contact tagged "bridal".

Should makeup artists use the follow-gate?

Use it on PRODUCTS, not on BRIDAL. A product list is a freebie, so asking for a follow first is fair; the app nudges politely up to three times and then sends the link anyway, and existing followers skip the step. A bride ready to pay ₹15,000 should get the booking link immediately.

How do you set it up between clients?

1. Open the Viralyze app, choose the reel, and type the keywords: BRIDAL, bridal rates, bridal price. 2. Write the DM above and attach your booking page. 3. Write a public reply such as "Sent you the dates 💌"; the app rotates variations. 4. Run the live tester with "Bridal rates?" and watch it match. 5. Turn it on, or schedule it to go live with your next post.

Auto-pause is handy here: pause the BRIDAL automation on 15 December when season dates are full, and leave PRODUCTS running all year.

Frequently asked questions

**Can I take a trial booking and adjust it against the bridal fee later?** Yes. List the trial as its own service, take payment upfront, and note the adjustment in the service description.

**What if a bride wants to cancel?** You decide whether customers can cancel themselves and until when; if allowed, the refund goes back automatically.

**Does the app post anything on my feed?** No. It uses the official Instagram API, you log in on Meta's screen, and nothing is ever posted for you.
