Your special day has finally come, and no, by special I don’t mean the premiere of the new season of your favourite show Gossip Girls. It’s even better. It’s your wedding day! Your plate is already spilling over with wedding plans– making ultra sure that everything turns out just right–the guest list, the seating, music, menus and flowers. With so much on the things to do list, the last thing on your mind should be make up. But it is also the trickiest thing to get exactly right. That’s where the professional make up artist comes in!
People in general don’t know the importance of such artists in the wedding. They tend to think that the bride or the family members, friends, can do the make up and why to spend money on makeup.
Why Hire A Professional Make Up Artist
- You should understand that wedding make up and regular make up are completely different.
- Regular make up may not stay the whole day and it can make your face look strange in the photo shoots! Professional artists make sure you stay beautiful for the whole day. Also they know what exactly looks good on camera!
- Hired artists have the tricks to get rid of puffy eyes or freckled skin and to hide other flaws and highlight the best feature. Only people who have years of experience would know what is to be done.
Though it sounds very exciting, hiring a professional artist can prove to be quite a task. I can’t even begin to tell you, how many times I’ve heard that a bride to be was disappointed by her make up trial (or even worse her wedding day make up) because she didn’t look like herself, or there was too much or too little make up, or it was just completely off the mark.
Some Pointers To Remember While Hiring Such Artists
- Timely Booking: Begin your search preferably 3-6 months in advance as weddings keep taking place all year round and the popular artists are high in demand. So, be the first one to grab the best!
- Interview phase: Interview the candidate and ask about their experience. Also have a look at their resume or portfolio. But the trick lies in paying close attention to people who really interview you. You should be looking for artists that ask about wedding day lighting, the cut of your veil and the neckline of the dress. Some might even ask pictures of your desired look.
- Trial Seating: Arrange for trial sessions of manicure, pedicure, facial bleaching, etc. Whether you want a shiny and oily face or want a complete natural look, they should know your choice or type of your skin.
- Compare: Compare rates of artists as they offer services on hourly basis and some even offer package deals. Resist the temptation to hire the cheapest as it may not be the best.
So, splurge and hire a bridal make up artist as make up should be fun and not frightening!
