Top Makeup Artist questions asked by Brides

in ,

As professional makeup artists, we have the opportunity to be a part of many ladies special day. We get to be up close and personal with brides and bridesmaids and realized that similar questions would come up in regards to wedding makeup!  We decided to begin a series of blogs to answer questions from our experiences and knowledge. If you have questions and want it answered by us, send us an email and we would be happy to include it on our blog!  Just like in highschool, if you have a question most likely someone else does as well! Let’s get this party started!

Is it going to feel cakey?

  • Make sure your skin is hydrated and exfoliated- try going for a facial 2 weeks before your wedding day!
  • Using products that are HD will make your skin feel like skin and not like a cakey mask
  • Ask what products your make up artist uses
  • Less is more and every makeup artist professional knows that- especially for a bridal look.  

How do I touch up?

  • Carrying a light powder and brush to apply in T-zone
  • Completely remove lipstick and reapply when you have a few moments. A fresh coat will last and look better the reapplying on top.
  • use a lip brush to apply lipstick

Is it cry proof/waterproof?

There are no promises on how any girl will react to seeing their fiance at the end of the aisle, a beautiful gift from someone special or heartfelt speech from family. That being said there are ways of avoiding a big mess!

  • Waterproof mascara, eyeliner and lash glue.
  • Powder & fresh cosmetic sponge to buff out tear lines
  • Avoid tear drips all together by wrapping a tissue around your finger and blotting in your waterline
  • Eye Primer

I like natural but want to look like i’m wearing something?

Everyone is different. my natural could be completely different to another makeup artist. So don’t be afraid to speak your mind and let your makeup artist know that you don’t wear foundation on a day to day basis. It's important to have a complete trial with your make up artist. So you both know what to expect and can try a few options.

The Best Accessory to Have!

Looking for that perfect accessory with your outfit does not only have to be a piece of jewellery or a cute pair of heels. Think outside the box and try using a bold lip as an amazing accessory to your outfit!  You can totally glam it up by applying a bold red lip to really stand out. The nice thing is, a red lip can go with any outfit.  It can be worn to a meeting during the day or to a girls night out on the town!  Try using Veil Beauty Co. Aisle Red-y lipstick for that trendy and gorgeous look.  For those who are a little unsure of that bold red lip, a great option is a bright shade of pink. This will give you that bright, fashionable, fresh spring flare!  Celebrity crush Emma Stone is looking fabulous with her pink lip that looks like First Kiss as a pop of color for her accessory!

Spring Is Here!

 

Spring is Here!

The snow is melting, the smell of fresh air, the sun glowing...Spring is here! I love spring because I feel like its a fresh start.  It could mean a new healthy workout plan, starting a new hobby, or just feeling inspired by the weather to get a new outfit or new makeup.  I find people are happy and positive during spring time.  One thing that I love is helping women pick out new makeup to go with their new look!

When choosing a new look, its always nice to see what the latest trends are! Check out these trends:
