Step 2. Start the Search in Advance

 

It can be difficult to book an artist for your wedding at the last moment, especially during the wedding season. Therefore, you need to take care in advance to choose the right professional. Here are some options for finding the right makeup artist for your wedding:

• Online Search: there is a lot of information about beauty salons and professionals on the Internet. It can be scary to rely on strangers, how to distinguish an amateur from a professional? In this case, it is worth paying attention to the rating and reviews from his\her clients, also the photos attached to the reviews can help you make a decision.

• Consultation: you can ask for recommendations from recently married couples or colleagues. Their experience can be very valuable, because they can tell you not only about the result of the work, but also about the person providing the service and his\ her attitude towards the clients.

• Social Media: there are plenty of beauty accounts on Instagram or Facebook. Makeup artists often showcase their work on social media, which allows you to evaluate their style and quality of work. You can view photos of real makeup done by them and choose the right specialist according to your vision. Also, you can easily contact the specialist via social media by sending a message or requesting a consultation.

 

Step 3. Makeup Rehearsal

 

In order to choose a perfect makeup artist, it is worth making an appointment with 2-3 artists for a makeup trial. This is a great opportunity to discuss your makeup vision with a specialist, show him\her the references and check the resulting makeup for durability.

To be confident in your master, it is also important to feel comfortable with him\her, to be sure that the products he uses will not harm your skin, and the tools are carefully processed.

So, why do you need a makeup rehearsal?

• Ask questions: if you are not sure that the makeup you have chosen will match your wedding dress, you can consult with a makeup artist, he\she will not only tell you which makeup style will suit you, according to your appearance, but also make it maximally compatible with your wedding look.
• Express your opinion: it is important to give your feedback about the makeup right away, it will help to avoid unpleasant surprises on the wedding day. 
• Be 100% : during the makeup trial you can try on different colors, styles and techniques to find your perfect look.
• Confidence: after going through the makeup rehearsal you will be 100% sure that your special day will not be affected by sudden troubles.
• Behavior: it is also a great chance to see what kind of person your makeup artist is. He\She is never or always late, seems to be annoyed or friendly, rude or nice. A wedding is already quite a nervous event, and if the behavior of a makeup artist does not match a professional, then you should look for another one.

 

Step 4. You are Ready to Shine?

 

Many people do not limit themselves to just one look for a wedding. If you want to change dresses, you should check with the makeup artist if he\she will be able to accompany you on your wedding day. But that is not the only reason: usually, wedding ceremonies and dinners take place outdoors, when the temperature can be unpredictable. Sudden rain or heat can ruin even the perfect tone. But the stylist nearby needs only a few minutes to adjust the makeup and return the face to a healthy shade again.

With a professional at hand, you can safely kiss your husband without fear of ruining your wedding look!
