Wedding Day Make-up~ Why Hire A Make-up Artist For Your Event?

You pick out a dress that will bring your significant other to his or her knees, taste test the food that will be served, buy the perfect shoes and select a hairdresser you trust to make your locks as perfect as can be....so why should you have a make-up artist take care of your make-up needs on your special day???

When you walk down the isle what is everyone looking at? Yes the dress and the hair but most of all your beautiful face and the expression of Oh my gosh this is really happening!!

Choosing a make-up artist is a very important part of your big day. Let's face it you will have your wedding pictures forever!! You would want to look for a reputable make-up artist (like myself ;) who has been doing make-up for years so experience is important! You don't want to choose someone who just got into the business  and is doing it for fun.  Look for reviews that has been written on you chosen artist. Weddingwire.com is an excellent source as well as a referral from another bride who has used this person. Photography washes out the face so its really important to make sure that features pop without being overdone. Blended soft shades that compliment your features and colors that are present in your bouquet and decor are also ways to keep the look in uniform.  See your artist well in advance to see what type of work they do, professionalism and how you get along. Bring pictures to your artist of someone who's make-up you love. Keep in mind the picture of the person should resemble your feature and coloring. Book your artist well in advance especially because you are booking that person's artistic craft. Most pros will ask for a non refundable deposit so be ready. It is not out of the ordinary to be charged for your pretrial as you will want to use it for a night out or maybe even bachelorette party or shower so it doesn't go to waste. This way you can see how the make-up wears and take lots O'pictures!!
