Wedding Article: Finding a good wedding makeup artist and what to expect

By: Lucy Orrey

There is so much choice out there for a wedding makeup artist that we can be over whelmed by who to choose. My suggestions are firstly take a look does the company have a good website which offers pricing and an online portfolio? This gives you an indication of their work straight away. What you should look for is someone who has a good track record and reputation for providing an efficient and successful wedding makeup service you can tell this from portfolio's, testimopnials or word of mouth but always judge for yourself by having a trial makeup session.

Check out qualifications
Does the makeup artist have beauty therapy or makeup qualifications? If yes then you can be sure they have undergone the correct training to be able to apply your makeup and have a good knowledge of skincare too.

You should be offered a trial so you can have your makeup applied and discuss what looks you would like to achieve for your special day.

At the Trial
You should have plenty of time to flick through ideas and discuss colours etc before your makeup is applied and if you have any concerns this is the time to air them so that you are 100% happy with your final look. This will then be recreated for you on your wedding day.

You will see that prices can differ quite dramatically from area to area and person to person. Base your judgement on quality and not just price as you can find you could get a suitable artist and also save some money. You could still afford an exclusive bridal service without breaking the bank!

Ask the Beauty therapist/makeup artist if you can go along to meet them before commiting to any bookings. Its nice for you to be able to meet the person who will help make your day start off with a wow and a happy smile. Here you can find out what type of makeup is used and maybe even take some skin care samples away with you.

Once you are happy you have made the right descision you can sit back and look forward to your big day with the confidence you are going to look your best right on through to the evening!!
