I have been a bride, twice (I married my husband 8 years ago, and renewed with him last year). I can tell you as a wedding planner, and being a bride how value it is to hire a professional make-up artist. Not, only a professional make-up artist, but hiring someone that has experience doing make-up for a wedding. Before, we get into the meat and potatoes of this post, let's talk about how your professional wedding pictures will outlast your life time! I know it's something you probably heard on the Wedding Talk Show I co-host. But, it's true and your face is very important for your overall look. Let's also, touch on the make-up artist that is a great friend, or associate and he/she knows how to beat face (a term used in the make-up world - meaning the artist is excellent at applying make-up); however, bridal make-up is a entire different thing.  Yes, it's still cleansing the face, taking care of the skin, and applying make-up. However, on the day of a wedding you have to be swift, excellent, and know exactly what you are doing. I will explain further! Now, here are the five reasons to hire a professional make-up artist for your wedding day.

 

 

Skincare

 

1. Put you Best Face Forward - Your face is a beautiful canvas, and your skin is the largest organ in the body.  You want to protect, and take great care of it. When you hire a professional make-up artist, he/she will do just that! They will take excellent care of your skin. On the day-of the wedding you want the artist to have a wonderful healthy face to work their magic on! This begins with skincare, prepping the skin, and also diet, and exercise. The make-up artist will educate you during the bridal make-up consultation on what is recommended for you. No two brides are alike and your needs are all different, also age, skin tone/complexion, and many other factors are taken into consideration.

 

Consultation

 

2. The make-up trial -  The consultation and make-up trial will not only help you understand your skincare needs but also what you will look like on the "day of" your wedding.  The professional artist will cleanse, and moisturize your face, also lastly apply the make-up. You will discuss your overall look, and type of bridal style you have. Discuss colors, and if you are having a indoor/outdoor wedding, time of day or evening, ect Your make-up artist will learn alot about you and your wedding look.

Darling You Are Worth It

 

3. Invest in yourself -  After all you are the Bride and you want to look stunning and amazing!  Think about how much you have invested in your photography, and your beautiful wedding gown, and all the other elements involved in your day.  Don't forget about yourself, because you are worth it, and you don't want any regrets after the wedding.  You hired professioals to handle everything else, but you did not take the time to hire a professional for your make-up? Absolutely NOT! Trust, me as a wedding planner, hire a professional.

 

 

Dont Hire a Friend or DIY

 

4. Don't do-it-yourself or Hire a friend -  Don't I repeat! Don't (LOL)! Don't do your own make-up for your wedding.  Even if you are a DIY Bride and you know how to do your own make-up.  This is the time to skip the DIY and leave it to a professional. Not a friend, or family member; a friend is not going to know the proper and proffesional steps it takes to execute bridal make-up. Especially when it comes down to logistics (the timing of the wedding day). On the "day of" a wedding every second, down to the minute counts. A professional make-up artist is familar with the timing of a wedding, and will apply their make-up in a timely fashion and execute swiftly.

 

RELAX

 

5. You can de-stress - When you are working with a professional make-up artist you can close your eyes and relax, enjoy your time of being pampered. You don't have to worry about your make-up, because it will be flawless. You will know that you have invested not only for beautiful make-up,and healthy skin; but for a overall experience.  Remember this the most important event you will ever plan, you want a amazing experience!
