Unless she wants to look natural because of her faith or belief or personality, every bride wants her make up to be top notch on her wedding day. Her in-laws, guests and most especially, her groom would be looking forward to mesmerized by her beauty.
She is going to be in the spotlight so she has to surpass everyone’s expectations. If she doesn’t get her makeup game right, it can ruin her day. Not only would she look terrible in pictures but it would spoil her entire look and mood. This is why it is necessary for brides to get a good makeup artist . Here are key things to consider in selecting the best:
1.Ask for referrals from friends
Perhaps you attended a friend’s wedding and loved her makeup. You should get the details of her makeup artists. Friends should have your back and would give good recommendations. But make your selection on your experiences and observations.
2. Use social media
With Google, you can search for makeup artists close to you. Go on Instagram, use the appropriate hashtags to check out make up artist work. Be careful that the makeup artist portfolio is genuine. You can also search on Youtube and learn more about make up and makeup artist. This would serve as a guide on how you want to look.
3. Go for professionals
It is more expensive hiring a quack makeup artist. It is waste of time, money and resources. Your wedding day is special to leave it in the hands of a unprofessional makeup artist. Be willing to pay the price for the professional. Ensure they are experts in bridal makeup and not runway makeup or dramatic or personalised make up artistry.
4. Book an appointment
Fix a date with your selected makeup artist. In their studio, go through their catalogue and choose what you like. Ask them if they can recreate the bridal look you want for your wedding. Let them do a free trial makeup for you to see. Ensure it is someone you are comfortable working with.
5. Be specific
Let your make up artist know what you want. Would you also like your bridesmaids, flower girls and mother made up too? Let the make up artist know and try to negotiate well. Remember to put quality over quantity. This means be willing to pay the price but negotiate fairly.
