How to Choose a Professional Wedding Make Up Artist
Almost every "bride to be" has a list of things to do, things to remember, things not to forget and things that need to be done in order to get those things that she remembered she would not forget! Ahhhhh! No wonder brides are so harrowed and stressed out by their wedding day. It's all so confusing! Who can blame Cinderella for getting a complete "make over" by her fairy godmother prior to her big day? After all, a wedding is carefully planned and orchestrated, right down to the perfect wedding gown, to whom will sit next to Aunt Martha at the wedding, what music will be played, what food will be served, who will be seated next to whom, who will take the pictures, and the list goes on. Most important is who will make the bride look her most radiant on her special day? Most brides will hire a professional make-up artist. A professional make-up artist may not be a fairy godmother, but she is important to the bride on her wedding day.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
- Thankfully, Cinderella had help from her fairy godmother who was able to give her a few helpful tips and "instant" beauty with just a swish of her magic wand. Oh, if only it were that easy. Every woman wants to look her best the day of her wedding, but not everyone has a fairy godmother like Cinderella. However, with the help of a professional make up artist, a bride can still look and feel like a princess whether she is going to a ball or getting married!
- Hiring a make up artist should be at the top of a brides list of "things to do."
You have often heard the phrase, "she makes such a beautiful bride!" A make up artist might not have a magic wand, but he/she does have a wealth of knowledge and expertise on what is needed to create beauty and glamour. Check around when choosing a professional. Ask others who have seen their work if they are good. Look at their previous work. Do others have good things to say about the professional artist? Once you decide on a professional. Make an appoint prior to the wedding. - Talk to the make up artist. She/he is there to listen to you and offer advice that will be helpful in getting the look you want for your wedding day. A good makeup artist should know how to draw out your strongest beauty features, and downplay your lesser ones with a minimal amount of makeup.
- Ask the make up artist what products they use. Find out about prices. A good make-up artist is more than willing to give excellent service by showing what they can do to enhance beauty, but most important, they must be knowledgeable not only in beauty products but must be able to understand what a bride's desires are for her wedding day.
- A bride has to feel comfortable with whom she is hiring. Once a good rapport has been established, never hesitate to ask questions. A good make-up artist is someone who will provide the best in customer service and will ensure quality and professionalism to the highest of standards.
