Bridal Makeup Artist / Beauty Tips

Bridal makeup: is a clean, flawless, pearly and enhanced makeup, color choices are; warm tone
colors such as cream, gold, pastel green, peaches and browns or cool tone colors such as lilacs,
violets, plums and soft pinks. Bridal makeup is not a club or an evening party makeup so keep
the consistency medium or low.
Remember that neutral colors are always an excellent choice to achieve an enhanced natural
look for a sophisticated and sexy bride.
Bridal Hair style: Bridal hairdo is recommended to be an up-do or a half up half down. he
reason for the recommendation is that suggested styles would be very practical in terms of
keeping the style and shape for a very long time as well as being comfortable and cool especially
in summer season. !f you are going for more of a sophisticated classic look, a full up-do is
recommended. !f you are going for more of a romantic look half up and half down is the look for
you. "nother popular do is he #ow-$o. !t is referred to a large bun shape around the lower head
or neck area. his is a chic and modern style for a fashionable bride.
What is a Neutral color? !t is referred to the various shades of earth tones. %olors that are
subtle and mudded. !t is also an average consistency of beige and browns. &eutral Browns could
surly come in the slight hints of pink or green or gray. aupe is a popular neutral brown with a hint
of plum color to it.
Bridal makeup must be durable and resistant to last the whole event. !t must work for pictures,
film and also look flawless in actual and close-up.
Color coordination: All the colors used in your makeup should be in the same family
and coordinate. You could either use the cool tones or warm tones. Do not mix up cool

the final and "ery important detail of your preparation to start your whole experience is
your hair and makeup. !t always strikes me that how much money is spent in a wedding
to please family and friends "erses to gi"ing to the main person #the bride,$ whom is the
center and the star of the show. %"eryone is there to see the bride. Dear bride, do not

Beauty salon for a wedding makeup and hair style? 'ere is what to watch for(
traditionally beauty salons do not do contracts and just exchange words with the clients
and make a note in a general shop calendar. The problem with this method is that the
salon artists must be sure that they ha"e work booked up for the day of e"ent also. !n that
case what happens is they #o"er book$ for the sake of #potential cancellations$ by a few
of the reser"ed clients. !n most cases all of the clients show up and that is why it is known
that salon weddings are to be late for their timing. )o a detailed contract may sa"e you a
lot of hassle and time if you are working with a salon artist. ! don*t see why not working
with a punctual and talented salon artist if that is what you wish to do. !n my opinion a
free lancer is a better choice.
Is it necessary to do a contract or written agreement & to secure your reservations?
+lease be aware of an artist who is not prepared to gi"e you his or her written
commitment. !t is an excellent way of reinsuring your reser"ation. !t also shows that your
artist will keep a track of time and other details of the day of e"ent. !sn*t that a sign of
professionalism as well as punctuality,
Here are the numers you do the math! -ottom line you want to ha"e a skilled
confident artist who can create a look that you ha"e always had in your mind. Artists who
can help you see the most beautiful of you and help you find out the best possible #look$
for you as well as achie"ing it. The artist who is respectful of your need and desire also
contributes her.his opinion to benefit the situation along with professional attitude. You
do not want to sit on somebody*s chair for one hour and be uncomfortable. After all
makeup is "ery personal and intimate experience. !t could easily become one of the worst
or best experiences of your life. /emember makeup is the last detail to start your big day
so why not for it to be fun and a pleasant e"ent. And it sure could be. )o do your
homework and if you ha"e to pay a little more just do it, because you*re worth it.
/emember to ask for a detailed contract at the time of lea"ing your deposit.
"hat is a ridal# vender contract$ agreement? A bridal contract is a paper that states
all the details of the ser"ice, as well as the deposit amount and the total of costs. This is a
promise proof from your "ender to you. A "erbal promise may not hold as strong. This is
exchanged between the "ender professional and the bride at the time of booking. The
contract will pro"ide a security and an understanding of the nature of the ser"ices for
both parties. 0ake sure you get a detailed contract from your "ender and be aware of
"enders who won*t offer one.
How do you know how much to pay for a good makeover? 'ow much an artist worth
to pay for, 1an you really put a price on an artwork, 'ow do you do that, 2ell, let me
gi"e you few tips to help you weed out some troubles to help you hire an artist who is
worth your budget.
0akeup & hair is the last detail and one of the most important elements to start your
special day. %"ery artist has his or her price3 howe"er the price could "ary from range of
456 to 47666 or may be in some cases more or less depending to the city, state or time of
the year or popularity of the artist. -ut an a"erage rate for bridal makeup is about 4785
and for bridal party 495.
:f course 456 would hire you an A"on lady who would try to sell you cosmetics on the
day of the special e"ent. ;or some clients, it may not be an option to pay 47666 for a
makeup application. )o let*s get in to the point.
2ord of mouth, referrals and web site search will lead you to some artist which you will
be choosing yours. Do a trial session and if you decided to hire the artist sign a contract
for exchange of your security deposit to secure the date. +lease tip your artist especially if
they are doing a trial for a "ery little money. !t pays off, trust me.
%eed help to find- out what you want for your makeup and hair style? !f you
happened to know what sort of makeo"er you would like to ha"e it makes it easy for
e"eryone. ;irst get a few bridal or fashion and style maga<ine. 1heck out the looks and
see which ones interest you the most, earmark the pages, and show it to your artist. You
may start your communication to your artist by showing pictures and descriptions, and it
is all up to you to make the final decision. Trial makeup is absolutely recommended. =ot
only it helps you to e"aluate the skill of the artist but also it helps to find these important
points about the artist. . Punctuality and Timing, Confidence, Professionalism,
Hygiene, Personality or Attitude, Years of Experience, Makeup it and !uality of
Cosmetics" T#ese are some of areas to look in to at t#e time of try makeup.
!f you are getting what you want it is worth any money. !f you are not sure what you
would like to ha"e, it is a good idea to get some honest opinion from a friend or a person
who understands makeup and style. &our grandmother or aunt# or someone in that
rank# does not count. You want to ask people who like makeup and ware makeup.
/emember that no need to ask for opinion of too many people because you can not
possibly make e"eryone happy.
"ater proof makeup verses water resistance makeup? The difference between the two
is( that water resistant makeup only resist water and body perspirations. !t is less durable
but easier to remo"e when needed to be remo"ed and in most time remo"able with a
general remo"er. !t is recommended for e"eryday use. ;or example if you use a water
proof mascara e"ery day, and try to remo"e it e"ery night perhaps after one month you
ha"e no lashes left since it is "ery difficult to get it dissol"ed and remo"ed. !t is not
recommended for e"eryday use. 2ater proof makeup is not really water proof at all the
times. This term is used to tell you that the makeup is more resistance to water. +erhaps
you need to ha"e a cream base cleanser to remo"e it. !t is recommended to be used for
occasions. And please remember that regardless of its resistance the makeup is not
tattooed to the skin it is still fragile and will be remo"ed if you touch your face and get
careless with it.
The motor in'ection air rush makeup: is a techni>ue that ! use mostly for T? and
media work. !t looks fine on the film and screen as well as body painting. -ut it looks
pasty up close and in real life and ! don*t like to use it for brides. 2hy we use it so much
on films, -ecause it is fast and easy since in film industry we don@t ha"e much time to
apply a fullyAcared application.
Is air rush makeup recommended for rides? 2hen it comes to weddings, ! put so
much extra care, because it is a once a life time e"ent. )o ! use the best product and the
proper application to a"oid any risks of skin rash caused by strange chemicals that maybe
in some products. ! also make sure that my safe products can also create a fantastic
flawless look upAclose as well as on the print and film. 0y recommendation for the bridal
makeup is a line of professional products that are safe, flash proof, stayAon, and manually
brushed or sponged on the skin. As far as air brush makeup goes ! only recommend only
a certain type of canned air brush makeup which ! use in some occasions. ! do not
recommend any air injector air brush makeup for a bridal application. !n my opinion and
experience it looks hea"y on the face, the products are risky (skin rash and it does not
hold as well as some other products. Just because it is called air brush makeup,
doesnt mean it creates air brushed and flawless look.
"hat are a Bridal trial session& consultation for makeup and hair? -ridal
consultation is a conversation exchanged between a professional and the bride about
how he or she would pro"ide the ser"ice and how e"erything works. Also often in the
consultation some professional ad"ise and gi"e their opinion to help the bride choose the
right ser"ice for herself. +lease ask a lot of >uestions from your "ender since it usually
offered free of charge. Yes you heard it right consultation is normally free. 'owe"er,
consultation is a con"ersation it does not include the trial session or any product or
ser"ice. You may also use the consultation time to e"aluate and eliminate some artist and
make your final choices. 1onsultation could take place on line or in person or by phone.
(akeup )rtist Boot Camp: =o clumpy mascara especially o"er top of the false
eyelashes. =o red lipstick and no dark lip liner to frame your beige color lips. !t looks
bad. Too much tan looks tacky. Too little blush looks sick. =o caked on makeup. Beep
the balance in your o"erall look and respect your makeup artist*s opinion, (only if it
makes sense. =ow do fifteen sit ups and ten pushups, because that*s what we
do in the makeup artist boot camp. :h yeh baby brideC
