This is it! Your big day is coming up, the day where you and your partner will celebrate your love in front of all those you hold dear! Now is when you are going through the nearly endless list in your mind: dress? Catering? Venue? Theme? One thing that may have slipped your mind is, in fact, one of the most important items of them all.

As this day is going to be immortalized through photos and videos, you need to be sure that your hair and makeup are done to absolute perfection! Bridal make-up is very different from what we wear every day, it needs to be of a higher quality and last much longer than standard all-day wear looks. While you may be thinking of DIYing your make-up and hair, here are just a few of the many benefits of hiring a professional make-up artist for your wedding day.

Less Worry

Your big day is a madhouse from the minute the guests start entering the venue until you and your newlywed partner are whisked off to your honeymoon. Nerves run high and some things are bound to go astray; your makeup is one thing that you do not need to go wrong! By enlisting the skills of a professionally-trained make-up artist, your bridal look is one thing you can nail down and be worry-free about.

Additionally, going through a professional make-up artist tends to be more cost effective than buying the product and proper tools yourself, as the high-grade makeup look that this special day demands can be very expensive. With all the hectic activity going on, take it easy on yourself and make this one thing you don’t have to think about. Another major benefit of going through a professional make-up artist is having a look of cohesion amongst your bridesmaids if you choose to get a make-up artist/artists to service you and your bridesmaids. This creates an even more unified look for photographs and for the wedding ceremony since the whole bridal party will have a similar make-up style applied.

Photos, Portraits, and Selfies

The camera shutters are not going to stop for one moment on your wedding day, and you – the bride – will be the absolute center of attention. Your makeup needs to not only be perfectly applied and set, but the products you use need to be of high quality! Keep in mind that when it comes to make-up types, all brands are not created equal and some brands do not photograph favorably.

I’m sure you have heard of the make-up slang regarding photo issues? Phrases like ‘blow-back,’ or ‘white-face?’ This comes from the use of make-up brands that aren’t photo or flash friendly, giving off a pale or a white-looking image that ruins the photograph. This occurs due to poor-make up application, wrong foundation tone and by using foundations that have SPF protection infused within the formula.

Conclusion

All in all, there are many benefits from using this type of service. You will look incredible, your photos should turn out perfect, but even more importantly, you can save yourself some stress with this cost-effective service. By working with a professional artist, you can rest assured that your bridal look will come out picture perfect!
