Every girl wants to look absolutely beautiful on her wedding day. So finding a high-quality bridal makeup artist can be challenging. You want someone who will enhance your natural beauty and not make you look too over done. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you’r searching for your wedding day makeup artist.

Don’t be afraid to start by asking friends and family for references. Often people who are referred do a better job than someone you found without a reference. You can even ask your wedding planner or venue if they have any suggestions. Review the recommendations thoroughly by looking through their portfolios and online webpages.

You’ll need to choose someone based on your preference of venue. You can choose to go to a mall or salon, have it done in your home or hotel, or have your makeup done on site of the wedding venue. This also depends heavily on where you’re getting your hair done too. Both the makeup artist and the hair stylist should be available to fit your needs.

Book a trial session! Get your makeup done by your preferred makeup artist before booking them so that you can make sure they can create the makeup look you’re going for. Bring along clips from magazines or show them your Pinterest inspiration for your bridal makeup looks. Once you’re satisfied, book the makeup artist immediately and enjoy looking stunning on the most important day of your life.
