Is Bridal Makeup Worth The Cost?

Is Bridal Makeup Worth The Cost?

Booking a bridal makeup artist is an invaluable investment that can greatly enhance your wedding day experience. It can feel like a lavish, or luxury way to spend your money, but I want to explain why I think booking a professional makeup artist and hairstylist on your wedding day is a no brainer!

1. Expertise and Experience: Bridal makeup artists are trained professionals with extensive experience in creating stunning makeup looks specifically tailored for weddings. They have a deep understanding of different skin types, facial features, and makeup techniques to ensure you look flawless and radiant on your big day. In my 12 years as a makeup, I have worked on thousands of faces and feel confident doing makeup on anyone who sits in my chair.

2. Stress-Free Experience: Your wedding day can be hectic and emotionally charged. Hiring a makeup artist allows you to relax and be pampered, knowing that a skilled professional will take care of your makeup, leaving you feeling confident and beautiful. I will also note that hiring a makeup artist that is aligned with your energy is important. Many clients over the years have told me how calm they have felt with me around and that it was absolutely key for them to start their day off feeling physically and emotionally ready to get married.

3. Customized Makeup Look: A bridal makeup artist will work closely with you during a trial session to understand your vision and preferences. They will create a customized makeup look that complements your dress, wedding theme, and personal style, making you look and feel like the best version of yourself. There have been many situations where one of my client has an idea of what they want, and when they try it, they change their mind. A makeup artist can help guide the client through this process with a customized look.

4. Long-Lasting Makeup: Bridal makeup artists use high-quality and long-wear makeup products that can withstand tears, hugs, and dancing throughout the day. This ensures your makeup remains fresh and beautiful from the ceremony to the last dance. It would cost hundreds of dollars to invest in a small wedding day makeup kit for yourself, so leave it up to the pros to bring everything they have spent years curating.

5. Professional Photography Considerations: Wedding photography is a significant aspect of your special day. Professional makeup ensures that you look fantastic in photographs, with makeup that photographs well and enhances your features without appearing too heavy or washed out. You are likely spending thousands of dollars on photography and videography - makeup and hairstyling should feel like an add on to this service!

6. Seamless Application: Makeup artists have the skills to create a flawless and seamless makeup application, blending colors and textures to perfection. They can also address any skin concerns, such as blemishes or redness, without making you look overly made-up. Typically, when you get your makeup done, you also leave having picked up many tips and tricks - almost like your own mini makeup lesson.

7. Time-Efficient: Makeup artists are trained to work efficiently, ensuring you are ready on time for the ceremony and other wedding events. They can handle multiple bridesmaids and family members while maintaining the quality of their work. We have made hundreds of wedding day schedules and know exactly how to plan your morning.

8. Focus on Your Enjoyment: Having a makeup artist take care of your makeup allows you to focus on enjoying your wedding day with your loved ones, rather than worrying about makeup touch-ups or reapplying lipstick (not to mention the touchup kit you are provided so you dont even have to think of that!)

9. Professional Product Selection: Makeup artists use professional-grade and skin-friendly makeup products that are specifically designed for long-lasting wear and photography. They are also well-versed in using a variety of makeup brands, ensuring the best products for your skin type. In my kit, I focus on cruelty-free and natural products, and if you have ever tried to navigate this market yourself, you likely know how much time you can spend!

10. Memorable Experience: Hiring a bridal makeup artist creates a memorable and luxurious experience on your wedding day. It adds a special touch to your getting-ready process, making you feel pampered and glamorous. It is not often you would hire someone to help you look your best, so embracing the service

Overall, booking a bridal makeup artist not only ensures you look stunning but also allows you to relax and enjoy every moment of your wedding day, knowing that you are in expert hands.
