As a 20 year beauty veteran I will give some advice to our brides to be. is is your show so be prepared to search for your “true match”. 10 expert tips to picking your bridal make-up artist 1. Personality match. It’s your day so spend time with an artist who you enjoy. Look for calm and con dent under pressure, this will keep you at ease on a crazy day. 2. Seek a real professional, not your friend’s friend that does makeup as a hobby. You need a trained make-up artist versed in photography, lighting and longevity of wear. 3. Your makeup artist must listen to your needs. A professional makeup artist may guide you into a look better suited for you but should NOT force you out of your comfort zone. It is your day and your face. 4. Ask the artist what style of make-up they prefer... Speak in celebrity terms for us aka J Lo, Kardashians (Kylie or Kendall makes a di erence), Jennifer Lawrence... We love a visual reference and you will see if your artist likes the same style. 5. Look at previous work or portfolio to see the range of looks. Do not choose a “one trick pony”. Look for an artist that can personalize the looks of yourself and bridal party. An established artist will have a website, book or social media displaying their work. 6. Use the same artist for bridal party to get a uni ed look for pictures, encourage bridal party to get make up professionally done. 7. Make sure your artist keeps your look a bit di erent from your bridal party; perhaps a bit more drama, a bit more ethereal in order for you to stand out. 8. Your artist be comfortable trying di erent looks on you and then help guide you to best look 9. Should be a reliable artist and very easy to get in touch with, MIA artists are red ags on reliability. 10. Make you look and feel your most beautiful YOU.
