There are so many decisions to be made when planning a wedding including your choice of make-up. Here is how to choose the right make-up artist for your special day.
Ask for referrals. Friends and family members who have been recently married may have some good suggestions. If you are getting married at a distant location, be sure to confirm that the make-up artist will be willing to travel.
Step2
Locate make-up artists at your wedding site: If you are having a destination wedding of any sort, ask one of your bridesmaids to research make-up artists in the area for you. If you have a wedding planner, then ask her for a referral. Make appointments at your top contenders for trial make-up sessions.
Step3
Take photos of your make-up after your trial makeup sessions. Show them to your bridesmaids to get a consensus on whom to hire.
Step4
Make an appointment for the day of your wedding. Be sure to leave plenty of time before the ceremony.
Tips & Warnings
If you have a friend who excels in make-up application ask her to do your make up for the wedding. Be sure to do a trial session and, if she doesn't want payment, purchase a nice thank you gift for your friend in exchange for her services.
