The Advantages to Hiring a Makeup Artist

I have worked with hundreds of brides during my career and the one thing that remains common is they all want to look their best on their wedding day. So often a bride plans every detail of her wedding months and sometimes years in advance, from the venue to the photographer and from the flowers to the gown.

Quite often the bride is so focused on the 'big' picture she forgets her vision of how she would like to look and feel beautiful on her special day. This is why you need a pro on board!

Are all makeup artists created equal?
Unfortunately, no. It's important that your chosen makeup artist is properly trained in all area's of makeup artistry. This means they should understand colour theory and the correct placement of colour for your face structure. It sounds simple but it's not.

Understanding which colours work on every skin tone is a skill. Knowing how to interrupt your ideal "wedding day look" is a talent!

A true professional makeup artist should display work that demonstrates their talent and range. When viewing their work, consider if their style of artistry suits your own style. Do the brides look fresh and pretty and does their work look clean and natural? Your chosen artist should correspond with you in a professional manner. You should feel comfortable speaking to him or her and be able to express what you want and be able to get it.

An experienced well sought after makeup artist will have published work in national and international magazines. This means they are trusted in the industry to provide the right look on camera.

Why does this make a difference to you and how you look on your wedding day?

A  professional makeup artist will understand what looks great on camera and in person and what doesn't. They know how to hide imperfections, ensure you're glowing without looking shiny and make all your attributes come to life!

When you hire a professional makeup artist on your wedding day, you will look fantastic in all your images. This means your wedding album will be something you can be immensely proud of for years to come.

Hiring a professional makeup artist on your wedding day will make you look and feel absolutely wonderful! Look for artists who also offer hair styling to make your whole look complete. You deserve it!
