5 THINGS EVERY BRIDE SHOULD KNOW WHEN CHOOSING A MAKEUP ARTIST

When a bride is in the process of choosing a makeup artist there are important things she needs to look for to make sure the makeup artist is suitable for her. Every makeup artist is unique and brings different things to the table!

1. Skill--while most artists have great skill every client has different tastes
a makeup trial is ideal before booking your artist; make sure your artist provides this service (which in most cases is an additional fee)

2. Professionalism--makeup artistry is an "artform" so you will find a lot of flakely artists out there! make sure your artist works with contracts to protect themselves as well as the client and runs their business like a business! they should have business cards, a website, resume, portfolio and logo!

3. Testimonials/Reviews (from past clients)-- your artist should allow you to read reviews from past satisfied clients

4. Pictures from past work--your artist should have a portfolio of their work so you can see if their style is your style!

5. Acceptable Rates--one of the most important things (for todays bride) when looking for a makeup artist is finding an affordable one! you don't want to go too cheap (bc you get what you pay for) and in most cases overly expensive doesn't mean the better! in this case check around compare rates/portfolios/resumes and you will be able to tell the going rate for a highly sought after professional makeup artist!

i hope these tips are helpful in the search for a good makeup artist! your wedding day comes ONCE do your research and be prepared bc your makeup is as important as the dress!


Lata!
