How to Choose a Makeup Artist for Your Wedding
On top of all of the planning that you already have to do for your wedding, how are you supposed to take the time to choose the right makeup artist? On the flipside, it can be a terrible mistake to have the wrong person applying your makeup on your wedding day because you could look washed out, overdone, or unlike yourself. The whole point of wedding makeup is to look as natural as possible to bring out your inner beauty so that you will shine as the bride-to-be!
To make your wedding planning that much easier, here are basic tips in choosing the right wedding makeup artist:
  1. ALWAYS have a consultation. If you hire a wedding makeup artist last-minute on your wedding day, you could end up in serious trouble if you don't like the makeup that she applies.

  1. Take pictures to your consultation. Wedding makeup artists are by no means mind readers, so if you use vague terms, like "smoky”, "soft", and "natural", those could be interpreted in a number of ways. Cut to the chase, and show your wedding makeup artist a picture from a magazine or online. It will make your communication much easier!

  1. Look for an on-site makeup artist. There are quite a few makeup artists that will travel to your location as part of the price, which is something that I do myself. This is a much better deal monetarily than going to a makeup counter, especially since many of the makeup artists working at makeup counters in the mall may not be trained in wedding makeup styles.


  1. Have a touch up kit. Ask your makeup artist to provide you with a small touch up kit, including a lip color. This will keep your beautiful face looking fresh well through your wedding reception!


In short, these basic tips will make a serious difference in the success of your wedding makeup. This way, you can have a beautiful makeup application that you can look back on in your wedding pictures for years to come!
