Choosing The Right Makeup Artist
Questions to ask when getting a quote.
What products do they use? If they are quoting a high price, but are only use low end brands then they can’t really justify a high price. Those brands are great for colour and fun nights out, but just don’t have the longevity needed for a wedding day.
Do they do a variety of ‘looks’? You don’t want yourself and your bridesmaids and your mum to have ‘identikit’ makeup…!
What colours do they recommend for a bride? If they give you an answer, then don’t go any further!!!! How can they possibly know without seeing you and meeting you and getting to know you!!! You want to have makeup that suits YOU not what they think is right for all and every bride…!
If you choose to book a trial, book it for as close to the same time of day as you would be wanting it on your wedding day. There is no point having it done in the evening if you’re having a daytime wedding. You won’t know if it has lasting ability. Also, even in the height of summer, the light won’t be right.
Ask how long the trial should take. The answer should be around 2 hours.
Ask what happens at the trial. The answer should be that the artist will spend time getting to know you and your personality; she will want to know all about your wedding style and theme. If you’re having a lunchtime summery wedding with a floaty bridal gown, you won’t want full on glam makeup as though you were going to hit the town clubbing (unless of course that is your usual look and what you want!), and in the same token, if you are having a sophisticated elegant wedding, you don’t necessarily want to be sparkling all over your face (again, unless that is your chosen preference!)
When you book in a trial, try and get it as soon as possible. some of the concerns that I”ve heard recently are the following -
“I want to have a trial near to my wedding day in case I have a tan…”
Any decent makeup artist will have an array of foundation colours in her kit, so colour matching on your wedding day shouldn”t be a problem. if she got it right at your trial, she”ll get it right on your wedding day!
“What if the artist tells me to have a trial about 3-5 weeks before the wedding, and I end up not liking what she’’s done….?”
This is one of the MAIN reasons for booking in a trial as soon as you decide to have your makeup done.
what if you don”t like her?
how is she keeping your booking guaranteed for the wedding day?
Why is she not keen to get you trialled straight away???
Hopefully now you”re happy to book in a trial with a makeup artist… read on for what to expect!
Orlando MakeUp Artist Fixing Last-Minute Mistakes
MakeUp In Orlando Florida
We’ve all made them—those terrifying last-minute makeup mistakes. Just as you’re getting ready for an important date or a meeting that could lead to a promotion, your mascara clumps, your eyebrows are tweezed to the width of a fine-line marker running out of ink and your lipstick is a perfect shade of pink, only it’s on your teeth. Applying makeup is usually a pretty straightforward routine. Five or ten minutes and you’re out the door looking nothing less than fabulous. But, as Murphy’s Law would have it, if you’re trying to get your look just right for that big moment, something is bound to go wrong.
When those makeup mistakes threaten to drive you crazy, all you need are a few tricks in your bag to repair the damage and be on your way. Let’s tackle each of these mistakes one at a time:
Eyeshadow Mistakes. The most common eyeshadow mistake is getting too much shadow on your lovely lids. One minute everything is going fine, then the next minute, you look like you just got punched in the eye by a nasty left hook. When your shadow is too dark, begin the repair by softening the color. Use a pale yellow powder or a beige shadow and cover the lids. Then apply a very light coat of the original color you used. This should soften the darkness of the shade and still allow you to wear the wonderful color you chose. Another trick you can try is adding just a smidgen of blush to soften up the color.
Mascara That Clumps. Another makeup mistake that every woman has had to contend with is mascara that clumps on your lashes. One of the best remedies for this mistake is prevention. When you apply your mascara, hold the applicator brush right at the base of your lashes and gently wiggle it back and forth as you pull it out toward the end of your lashes. Then, be sure to carry a clean lash comb in your makeup bag. If any clumping occurs during your day (or evening), you can quickly and easily comb through your lashes to remove them. For mascara smudges, use a cotton-tipped swab dipped in mascara remover, and whisk the smudges away.
Lipstick on Your Teeth. Ever felt the embarrassment of lipstick on your teeth? You can avoid this first-impression disaster with a simple trick. After your lips are plumped and perfect, just stick your index finger in your mouth and pull it out—any excess color or gloss on the inside of your lip line will come right off on your finger.
Smudged/Smeared Lipstick. To prevent your lip color from running or smearing, line your lips with liner that is similar to or one shade darker than your natural lip color. Then, fill your lips in with the liner before you apply lipstick or gloss. Your color and shine will last much longer. And here’s another tip: To prevent your lipstick from coming off onto your glass, just discreetly lick the glass before you drink from it
