Why You Should Hire Professional Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists on Your Wedding Day

1. WHY DO I NEED A MAKE UP ARTIST FOR MY WEDDING DAY?
I am always baffled by the amount of time and effort spent on finding that perfect dress, the perfect church, the best caterer and the most qualified photographer but when it comes to the finishing touch - the make up - brides feel they need to question its importance. Hiring a professional make up artist will be one of the best choices a bride can make. A professional make up artist will travel to the preceremony location and provide a service that is both beautiful and soothing. She (or he) will be able analyze undertones, bone structure, skin texture and facial shapes. She can determine which tones look absolutely stunning on you and will utilize that to bring out your best features. You can dance, kiss, cry, laugh and shout and you will remain stunning from beginning to end. Furthermore, makeup artistry and photography work hand in hand. Professional photographers use lighting and equipment far more advanced than the average digital camera. The flashes are much brighter and way more precise. If you chance not having your makeup professionally done, you also chance that camera capturing every blemish, ill blended product, wrinkle and line on your face. Why spend so much on your special event and end up with photographs that you may be ashamed to show? Sit back, relax and enjoy the red carpet treatment and whatever you do, don't skimp on your beauty!

2. I CAN DO MY OWN MAKE UP, I AM SO NATURAL... DO I STILL NEED AN ARTIST?
Think of it this way. Do you go to $20,000+ events everyday wearing $1500+ dresses? Probably not. If you were going to work or even out on a date regular everyday make up would suffice. When you are the star of the show you need more than your everyday approach. A make up artist offers skills and techniques that are often studied for years. Wedding make up must endure hours upon hours of photography, you overheating due to a heavy dress, dancing, greeting, kissing and crying. If you are looking for a low cost alternative then purchase your own cosmetics and keep practicing. But if you want a look that is flawless, elegant, stunning and precise - hire a professional artist to do it for you. An artist is more than qualified to bring out your best features in ways you never thought possible. It's your time to shine so SHINE.
