What Should You Look For in Your Bridal Makeup Artist?

Choosing your bridal makeup artist is about so much more than finding someone who can create beautiful makeup. Your wedding morning is such a special (and sometimes busy!) part of your day, so finding someone you feel completely comfortable with is just as important as loving their makeup style.

Here are a few things I think every bride should look for when choosing their makeup artist.

💕 Someone whose style you love

Every makeup artist has their own style, so take a look through their portfolio and make sure their work feels like you. Whether you love soft and natural, polished and glamorous, or something in between, you want an artist who understands the look you're hoping to achieve.

💕 Experience with bridal makeup

Wedding makeup is different from everyday or occasion makeup. Your artist needs to understand how makeup photographs, how to make it last throughout the day and night, and how to create a look that looks beautiful both in person and on camera.

💕 A proper trial

Your trial is your opportunity to get to know your makeup artist, talk through your ideas and try out your look before the big day. It should leave you feeling confident and excited — never like you're being pushed into a look that doesn't feel like you.

💕 Someone who makes you feel comfortable

You'll be spending a good part of your wedding morning together, so personality matters! You want someone calm, friendly and professional who will help you feel relaxed while you're getting ready.

💕 Someone you can trust

From timings and touch-ups to your makeup lasting through happy tears, hugs and dancing, your makeup artist should be someone you feel confident has everything under control.

Your wedding morning should be about enjoying every moment ❤️

For me, bridal makeup is about enhancing your natural features rather than making you feel like a completely different person. I want my brides to look back at their photographs years from now and still feel like themselves — just their most confident, beautiful selves.

If you're looking for a friendly, professional bridal makeup artist who will take the time to understand exactly what you want, I'd love to hear from you.
