Makeup for the (DIY) Do It Yourself Bride

Common challenges of applying your own bridal makeup: 

There's nothing wrong with doing it yourself, if you're well-informed and excellent at applying your own makeup. But one common phrase among brides is "I don't normally wear makeup".  

For those brides who are not use to wearing makeup, attempting to do it yourself on your wedding day may provide a less than favorable result. Applying makeup on your own may not be as easy as it seems. Even as a professional makeup artist, I know I could never apply my own makeup as well as I do for others. So, when I have an important event, you can darn well bet I hire a makeup artist. 

Even for brides skilled at their own makeup, many will run into some challenging issues. Some common concerns when attempting to do your own wedding day makeup may be choosing the correct shades of foundation and concealer, manipulating the makeup brushes and tools, and knowing how to keep the makeup lasting from the ceremony through the reception. 

So what's a bride to do? Why, hire a professional makeup artist of course! A good bridal makeup artist will know what sort of products work best for the conditions. Taking into account such things as; weather, heat, attire, skin tone, genetics, season, indoor/outdoor and so many more variables.

Interview your makeup artist just as you would any other vendor. Be sure to schedule a trial run and stress the look you're going for. Bring photos or magazine pages of the image you want her/him to create.
