Your wedding is one of the biggest events in your life. So if you are considering whether or not to hire a professional makeup artist on your special day, the best advice I can give you is ‘DO IT’
There are many different reasons why, but most of them come down to ensuring that you look and feel great on your special day and everything runs smoothly. You will remember this day forever, and the likelihood is that it will be captured in photographs and video and be looked back on many years from now. Hiring a professional makeup artist will ensure that you look your best on the day.
Here are 6 reasons why you need to have professional makeup on your wedding day.
1. One Way To Reduce Your Stress Levels on A VERY Stressful Day
This could be the most important reason for you to hire a Makeup artist. On a day with so much going on, everything will be busy and you may run into a few unexpected twists and turns on the day. Hiring a professional ensures that your makeup is controlled by someone else, and one less thing for you to stress about. In fact, for many brides, getting their makeup done is an opportunity to take a breather on a day where they’ve been busy busy busy.
If you have had a trial beforehand too, you can rest assured that you’ll look great on the day and you can focus on the other things going on.
2. They Do Better Makeup Than You!
Face the fact, unless you are a highly experienced makeup artist, the likelihood is your makeup artist will be much better at doing makeup than you. They know how to use the right colours to suit your face, they can conceal any blemishes and create a flawless look. On your special day you want everyone to say WOW when you walk down the aisle, and a professional makeup artist will do just that.
3. They Use Better Products Than You Have
Most makeup artist pride themselves in using professional quality products. On a BIG day you need to ensure your makeup not only looks great in person but also photographs nicely and lasts all day/night long! By hiring a professional you get all the professional products that go with it. If you had to purchase these professional products yourself, it would cost you much more than the application cost.
4. Professionals Know How To Make You Look Your Best
Professional makeup artists know how to emphasise your best features and how to hide your less flattering ones. The little tricks and secrets they can do take years of practice to master and even if you knew how to do it, their refined skill can create a look that you just can’t achieve without lots of time and practice.
5. Look Great On and Off Camera
Makeup for weddings can be difficult because you need to look great in person for all your guests, but you also want to look stunning in the photos too. An experienced makeup artist will sculpt your face using contouring techniques to add depth. If done incorrectly your makeup will appear flat in your wedding photos or you may look washed out from the flash.
6. Last All Day So You Look Great At Your Wedding Reception Too
Because makeup artists use high quality products, it means you can dance all night long and still look great. The last thing you want is getting to your reception and realising that your makeup is smudged or worn off. Pros will use specialty products like primers, setting sprays and powders to give you beautiful makeup that lasts much longer
