You want to hire a makeup artist who is patient, professional, talented and within your budget. Sounds like big shoes to fill, right? The good news is that there are plenty of makeup artists out there. Word of mouth is often the easiest way to find someone. Ask your friends, co-workers and other women whose style you admire you could ask your hair maker as well most times they recommend the good ones
What to expect
You should be offered a makeup trial well before the day. At the trial, the makeup artist will inquire about your regular makeup style, what you are comfortable wearing and what are your expectations for the day. Anticipate being asked how you normally wear your makeup, what look you want on the big day, what your dress and your bridesmaids’ dresses look like, what accessories you will be wearing, and possibly even what celebrity makeup you love. When trying to explain what you like, it’s always a good idea to use magazines as a reference. Also, suggest that your bridesmaids get their makeup done, too.
Honesty is the best policy
There’s nothing worse than that one bridesmaid who shows up lookinnce your makeup is done, you need to be 110% honest! If you don’t like something in the artist’s style, you must speak now (or forever hold your peace)! Any good makeup artist will encourage you to be straightforward, and will appreciate the candour. Still, be polite and tactful. You are both on the same team, working towards the same goal: making you feel the most beautiful you can on one of the most important days of your life.
