When it comes to weddings, everyone is full of advice and recommendations, especially when it comes to the expertise of their personal stylist. "You just have to go to my friend..." or "I know this girl who sells..." will come out of the mouths of everyone you know. There are factors to consider when choosing a make-up artist that will enhance the decisions you have made from your dress to your photographer, so be pro-active in your selection process.
If you are having your hair done in a salon, find out if they a make-up artist and if they offer any packages for the combination. Many salons offer package pricing based on the number of the people in your party, and sometimes even have incentives exclusive for the bride. It is not expected that you pay for your entire bridal party, though it is often given as a bridesmaid gift. This is a great way to save time and money because everything will be done in one location.
Does the make-up artist have any specific training in photographic make-up application? This is a specialized way of enhancing the final outcome of your photographs which takes contour and highlight into consideration. It is a good idea to ask your photographer if they work with anyone specific.
If you are getting ready at the church or a hotel, a free-lance make-up artist is a great way to go. They will meet you at your location, which makes the process very relaxing and comfortable. This is an especially great option if you are having an early wedding with a large wedding party. This eliminates transit time for you, and the artist is more flexible with early starting times than a salon. Consult with an on-location artist about the time your wedding starts, the number of people in the bridal party, and the location.
Always get a trial application in advance. It's easy to skip this because the wedding has taken over every minute of your schedule, but this will save you time and aggravation on the day of your wedding. Discuss the look you want to achieve, bring photos, and a digital camera to take a photo at the end of the appointment so it can serve as a reminder the day of the wedding. My consultations are usually around 20 minutes, and I schedule 1 hour for a consultation/application. This is usually a sketch of what you will see on your wedding day. I always ask what color the bridesmaid dresses are, if there will be tattoo cover-up work, and if any false lashes will be used. (Fabulous in photography!)
Think of yourself as a journalist while you research who you will select for the most beautiful day of your life, it makes it easier to withdraw emotions about not going to your next door neighbor's house so their niece in beauty school can experiment on you! Remember, these are the photos you'll be looking at forever...
