Why Should You Hire a Professional Makeup Artist for Your Wedding

Weddings aren't cheap, so you might think hiring a makeup artist for your wedding is one expense too far. Well think again! In my humble opinion, a makeup artist is an indispensable part of your "wedding team" to make the day as great as it can be. Here are some reasons why that is so:-

Photos
A makeup artist has experience and skills, and knows how to make you look your best not only for the day itself, but for your photos. Wedding photographers have an easier job if a makeup artist is hired because there's less edits/re-takes needed - the bride looks great in all lighting, in all environments. And of course, your wedding photos are there for a lifetime. Hiring a makeup artist makes you look your best in your photos that will be looked at for all those years ahead.

You Can Save time
Experience counts for a lot if you are applying makeup on your clients day after day. That means you can save time because a makeup artist knows that is something you're short of on your day. Yes, it's an enjoyable day, but you're going to be running a tight schedule, so you want to KNOW you will be looking your best before the day really begins.

No Indecision
This might sound like a strange benefit, but I've seen this happen so many times at weddings: the bride either applies her own makeup, or has a friend do it for her. Then...there's a change of mind. The makeup is washed off, and slightly different tones are applied. Brides can become very indecisive ...because they're nervous. A professional makeup artist knows what they're doing. They're confident and they know what's best for you.

Less Stress
In relation to the above point, delegating the makeup application to a professional is one less job you have to worry about.

Money
This will sound counterintuitive, but hiring a makeup artist might even SAVE you money. How so? Well, you will probably end up buying a full kit of wedding day cosmetics if you're going to apply your own makeup. After all, wedding makeup IS different to your usual office makeup. And those cosmetics can set you back more than hiring a makeup artist! A makeup artist already has wedding day cosemtics. Not only that, but such an artist will have a wide array of such cosmetics - a bigger palette to paint from!

Conclusion
Hiring a professional makeup artist will ultimately make your wedding day that much better - both on the day, and in the photos. You won't regret it.
