Why Choose a make-up artist for your wedding day

 Posted on February 15, 2013      by jo

Are you in the process of deciding whether to hire a professional make-up artist for your wedding day or if you should save some money and apply your own make-up.

 

When contemplating these thoughts, ask yourself the following questions

 

  1. Do you know how to apply make-up to bring out your best features in order to get the best results on your wedding photography?
  2. Do you know how much make-up to put on to show up on your wedding photos?
  3. Do you know how to correct any flaws in the skin ie dark circles, redness without having layers upon layers of foundation and concealer on that just sits on the skin?

 

If you have answered ‘No” to any of the above questions than you might want to consider booking a professional make-up artist for your wedding day.

 

I understand your wedding day is unique to you and finding a make-up artist who will suit your style may require some research from recommendation, talking to your hairdresser, visiting wedding fayres/exhibitions and even asking your photographer before you decide.  Wedding make-up is critical for being “camera ready” for your photographs.  Its easy to think by applying heavier amount of make-up than your normal routine will work but a professional make-up artist will understand how much make-up needs to be applied based on the following:

 

  1. Style of wedding you are planning
  2. Location of wedding whether you are getting married at home or abroad
  3. The time of year you get married
  4. Style of wedding photographer you have chosen
