Why should I hire a professional makeup artist for my wedding?
In the midst of wedding preparations, the decision to hire a professional make-up artist for your wedding day is one of the most important decisions you will make. All eyes will be upon you. It is your moment to shine. You want to look your absolute best!
I am often asked."Should I hire a professional make-up artist for my wedding?" As a professional make-up artist, my answer is obviously biased! However, I do realize that professional make-up isn't for everyone.
A true professional make-up artist has an artistic eye and knows exactly what colors and techniques are needed to enhance your best features. Many make-up artists have received advanced training in make-up education, face shapes, color analysis and are also skilled in camouflage or other techniques to minimize flaws in your skin. A good make-up artist will also assess your fashion personality to determine how bold or creative you like your desired look to be.
Having a camera ready appearance is essential. Often a bride will not bat an eyelash at hiring a professional hairdresser to come to her house for her wedding day hairdo and pay substantially for it, yet she will throw away her investment but choosing to do her own make-up and later lament her decision after seeing the wedding pictures. A skillful make up artist adds subtle contouring that will remedy the five to ten pounds a camera puts on without making you look "overdone" for your wedding day. Often times we do not realize that when taking pictures, it is the little details that need to be adjusted from your everyday makeup.
Worried about looking "too made-up?"...interview several make-up artists and absolutely schedule a trial. Most make-up artists do charge for a trial as they need to schedule time on their appointment book. In my opinion, this is money well spent. During the trial, you will be able to try different looks to see what you look like! Often times, what you thought you wanted may not be what you like or what looks best on you in the end.
Tips to finding the right make-up artist for your wedding day:
Ask your hair stylist, photographer, videographer, reception center, etc...for a referral. These individuals often have preferred partners that they work with and will be happy to share their thoughts and opinions.
Look online. Professional Make-up artists often have online portfolios and testimonials.
Schedule a consultation. Many make-up artists offer consultations for a minimal charge. This will allow you to meet the artist, review their work, and decide whether or not you want to schedule a trial.
Ask specifically about the techniques they use to ensure you have a flawless finish. Be sure they have the experience you are looking for.
First watch how the makeup artist sanitizes products and tools before and after applying them during your trial and the ask how the make-up artist sanitizes their equipment and make-up brushes. You might be surprised!
Ask for references, pictures, testimonials, etc. Do not hesitate to ask an artist for references that you can call. Questions should include if the artist was organized, on-time, performed quality work, and was friendly and flexible.
If you have skin challenges, ask your make-up artist about their experience in working with your particular skin challenge.
Once you decide upon an artist, schedule a trial. Your trial will be a deciding factor in who you decide to hire. Try to schedule your trial for early in the day. Wear your make-up for the entire day; see how it lasts, how it feels, and whether or not you are comfortable wearing the make-up application.
Most importantly, you should feel a level of personal comfort with your artist. The artist will be in your personal space on your wedding day. You want to feel confident that whatever challenges comes their way, they will be able to handle the challenge with grace and without drama.
Long after the preparations, the wedding vows, the first married kiss, the first dance, the hors d'oeuvres, and the sharing of wedding cake, your pictures will remain. Your pictures will remind you of everything wonderful about your special day. The decision on whether or not to hire a professional make-up artist is an important one. Their skills can tie together the look you have always dreamed of.
