How To Choose The Right Makeup Artist For Your Wedding.
Whether your vibe is cool and casual, or glam and bold, we all have one thing in common- we want to look and feel fabulous on our wedding day. For what is one of the most important events of your life, you want to be able to look back on photos and memories and feel confident about your look.
For the average girl, doing your own makeup on your wedding day sounds quite intimidating, so luckily for us, there are plenty of artists out there who specialize in making you feel like the best version of yourself. Having a vision of how you see yourself on your big day and taking into consideration your style and price range will ensure you choose the correct makeup artist to fit your needs.
The Vision
Timing is everything, so it is best that you start your search for a makeup artist several months prior to your wedding to ensure you’re able to book your artist on the day you need. Determine your style, find inspiration, and begin the hunt. Every credible makeup artist has a history of their work, whether that be on social media, past client reviews, or just simply word of mouth. While narrowing down your options, keep a visual in mind of what you see for yourself on the day of the wedding. Ask yourself if your personal style is compatible with the potential artists; can they make your vision come to life? Once you have a sense of who is out there, reach out to the artists who stand out to you, discuss details, and go from there.
The Test
When it comes to an event as special as your wedding, it pays to do a trial run with your makeup artist. This allows you to communicate your ideas without the “wedding day stress”, and gives you time to get to know your makeup artist personally. Reference pictures and mood boards are beneficial to bring to your trial run to give your makeup artist a visual of your style. A good artist is going to ask to see the dress and the bridesmaid dresses. Don’t hold back with your thoughts and opinions during your trial, open communication is key to having the best outcome possible. Makeup artists want to see their clients happy, so it is likely that the guidance you give will be appreciated.
The Love
No matter how talented your artist might be, you have to take the essential steps to ensure you have the best possible canvas to work with. Beauty shines from within, so practicing a good skincare routine a month in advance will work in your favor. Refrain from testing new facial products, trying new injectables or doing anything out of the ordinary to avoid any skin irritation. Taking extra gentle care of your body will make certain that you have a smooth and pleasant experience as you get made up for your big day.
