As a bride, you may feel like your to-do list and expenses leading up to the big day just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Every little detail has been discussed or agonized over for weeks or months. As the big day draws nearer, you are probably starting to think less about what kind of centerpiece and favors you will have and more on how you can ensure you look your best on your big day. The dress should fit like a glove, your hair should be perfectly in place and your makeup must be flawless. Unfortunately, many brides today are deciding to forgo the services of a makeup professional for their big day because they think they can do it themselves and obtain the same results. Although it might seem like an easy way to cut some costs, you may end up regretting that decision later, and here’s why:
Everyday Makeup and Stage Makeup are Different
We realize you usually aren’t getting ready to perform a broadway vocal on your wedding day, but you are the focal point for your guests as well as your groom-to-be, and your makeup will need to reflect that. From the very last seat in the back of your wedding venue to your grooms view from all the way at the end of the aisle, you want to be sure you look stunning from every angle. Wedding makeup is an art form that ensures you don’t look overdone, but that your eyes, face shape and color selections are complimentary to your features as well as the style of your event. Everyday makeup skills simply don’t accomplish all these things.
The Big Day Comes and Goes, but Photos Remain
One of the worst things after a wedding is to be flipping through your wedding photos and to have these types of thoughts running through your mind:
“I look washed out.”
“I wish I had worn more lipstick.”
A professional makeup artist knows how to apply makeup in a way that works to make you look perfect in person, as well as in the wedding photos.
They Help Prepare for the Elements
You might be hoping and praying for no extreme humidity, rain or snow on your wedding day, but we all know the Michigan elements can be unpredictable. A professional makeup artist can help you apply the right types of makeup depending on the specific type of Michigan weather we are experiencing. From using the right facial primers to makeup sealers to make sure everything stays the way it was applied, only a trained professional can ensure you are ready to say “I do” without worrying about your makeup melting off due to the elements.
Eliminate Stress
You have enough stress on your wedding day, making sure your makeup is perfect shouldn’t need to be one of them. In order to ensure your makeup looks as perfect as possible, makeup artists will typically work with you to set up at least one makeup trial a few weeks before the wedding to ensure you like the techniques, colors and type of application that will happen on the big day.
