Why have a makeup artist on your wedding day? If you are like most brides, you are probably wishing you had a fairy godmother that came on your wedding day, and with a splash of her wand, transformed you into the Cinderella of all Brides.  Wish no more, the answer to your fairytale wedding ending is hiring a makeup artist. 

Why a makeup artist? It’s next best thing to a fairy godmother. I am a freelance fashion makeup artist and esthetician; however my passion is for bridal makeup. There is no better joy then knowing that you are a key asset in one of the most important days of someone’s life. So many sources depict brides-to-be as these monstrous she-devils; more so like the wicked step sisters of the fairy tale than the whimsical Cindy! To me, future brides are the most gleaming, spirited, and smitten women I’ve met. They come to me with trust, inquisition, confidence, and most of all, picture perfect expectations.

The bridal makeup is not only about makeup for the occasion but also about Pre-bridal skin as well.  In advance a bride should cleanse, tone, and moisturize to prep the face for a smoother finish.  The rest is up to you your makeup artist!   Professional help is often helpful in assisting brides to look their best and be photography friendly.  Brides should choose the correct colors and expert highlighting and contouring.  Cosmetic colors should compliment your wedding attire and style. As professionals, makeup artists are trained in color theory and techniques.
