Best Marriage Makeup Tips For Brides and Grooms

Your wedding day is approaching but before you finally say your vows to your spouse, let us first walk you through all the things you need to know when searching for the right hair and makeup artist for your wedding.

Do Your Research

Choosing the type of makeup for wedding day is easy if you find the righ makeup artist to help you. We recommend doing your research by writing a list of wedding makeup artists whose work you love. When looking for one, it’s best to go to their website or social media accounts and see their past portfolios. Looking through a makeup artist’s past works can help see if his or her style fits your wedding day makeup plans.

Choose Someone With Experience

An experienced and professional hair and makeup artist does not only know how to make you look your absolute best during your wedding day. He or she should also know how to highlight your best features and incorporate them according to your wedding theme. A professional hair and makeup artist also knows how important it is to be on time. This is super important as you don’t want to run late for your photographer and not allow enough time for them to capture photos before the ceremony with your family and bridal party.

That’s why it’s best to find a makeup artist that has years of experience working with bridal makeup.

Check Their Reviews

Another thing you need to look out for regarding a makeup artist is their online and offline reviews. You can ask a married friend or a family member for recommendations since they have been in your shoes. Don’t forget to also check their website and see the feedback of their former clients. Make sure you choose someone who has positive online and offline reviews.

Find Someone Flexible

It’s your wedding day so it’s up to you whether you want to hire different people to help you with your hair and makeup. However, we strongly suggest choosing someone flexible enough to do both. Not only will this help you save time finding the right vendor to work with but it can also help save you from spending money on two different people.

Check Their Rates

Hair and makeup artists have their rates and pricing. Before you choose a vendor that you like, make sure you ask them about their prices first. Most HMUA offer package deals to their clients, but some professionals want to be paid for the hours they have spent working with you. So, it’s best to ask your HMUA beforehand so you’ll know that they have the budget you have set for your wedding expenses.

Work With Someone Who Makes You Comfortable

The morning of the wedding preparation can be a stressful time with family getting together so it important you have a makeup artist that puts you at ease.

So it’s best to choose someone whom you can get along with easily. Find someone who makes you feel comfortable and whom you can communicate with easily.

A great way to see if you feel comfortable is to have a trial before your wedding  and bring  along one of your bridesmaid too.

Choosing the right hairstyle and makeup for your wedding day is very important so you need to be able to  communicate and show the your artist what hair and makeup styles you like. 

Start a Pinterest board to help visually communicate your ideas.
