Some questions from the future brides
What style of makeup should I wear for my wedding day?
You should look through magazines and pictures. If you see someone has the same features like yours and the styles that you like would be a good starting point . Collect those images and consult with your artist. Just remember makeup always shows less on camera with either natural light or flash/indoor lights. It is an absolute must for making the look complete with the gown, hair and jewelries.
How much should I give myself time before booking my artist?
To reduce the last minute stress it is wise to book the artist as soon as you plan your wedding. Most of the artists like many photographers and other vendors who have been doing Bridal work get booked pretty quickly for the bridal seasons.
How do I choose my artist?
There are many directories such as Wedding wire, Wedding.com, Bridal magazines where you can start your search. Some times it can get overwhelming. Always look at the websites, the references and the years of experience. It is good to consider that experienced artists have the skills to manage the anxiety and excitement of you and the party if there is a time pressure.
What is the difference between Airbrushing VS Traditional makeup application?
Airbrushing creates a very flawless and long lasting effect. It is quick to apply and always looks more even on HD cameras these days. It doesn't reduce the oil production of the face however there is much less makeup and doesn't travel to deeper layer of the skin. However In some cases I recommend traditional makeup.
How to prep the skin before my special day?
Add more hydration to the skin. Drink at least 8 glass of Water a day. Take Omega 3-6-9 to add to the inner moisture of your skin. Hydrating facial is always nice a week prior to the wedding or cleansing facial at least 2 weeks prior. Get rest as much as your schedule allows you. Good old cucumber, damped and clean chamomile tea bags, rose water are great topical remedies for tired and puffy eyes before the wedding.
What are the essentials to carry on the wedding day?
Translucent press powder or a powder puff , Lip color or gloss and of tissue or mattifying papers (blotting paper) for the moments of joyful tears.
