Is Hiring a Makeup Artist Worth It for Your Wedding Day?

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. The pictures from this day will last a lifetime, so it's vital that you are looking your best on this special day. You might be wondering if you should do your makeup yourself or hire a professional makeup artist.



1. Experienced Artistry
An experienced makeup artist has the knowledge to highlight the best features of your face whether it's your eyes or your smile. The makeup artist will be able to cover or contour the parts of your face that you don't find appealing. He or she can hide blemishes and imperfections with an artistry that can't be matched by an amateur. As a bride, you'll want the artistry and professionalism of a makeup artist to apply cosmetics that will bring out your beauty on the most important day of your life.

2. Leading up to the Big Day
When you hire a professional makeup artist, you can meet with him or her before the wedding to find an application that works for your skin type. Toyasha Felder from Beautifully Beat Faces LLC suggests that you schedule a trial makeup three months before your wedding. She'll have advice for your skin too. If your skin is too oily, she'll have suggestions and treatments for you to follow before your wedding to make sure your skin is perfect.

3. Worth the Time and Money
While you can perform as your own makeup artist on the day of your wedding, you're not going to know the tricks of the trade like a professional artist. Your makeup has to be flawless throughout the entire day. If you've ever gone out to an event and had your makeup wear off halfway through, you want to consider what would happen if that occurred on your wedding day.

4. Ready for Your Close-Up
Along with the professional photographer you hire, you'll also have dozens of friends and family holding up their phones to take your picture. You'll want to ensure you look your best in every photograph. A makeup artist will have packages that will offer the bride a choice on her wedding day.

When it comes to your wedding day, you don't want to rely on doing your own makeup. Photographers often recommend hiring a professional makeup artist to get flawless photographs. Brides should not only look their best, but they should feel confident and beautiful, which can be done with artfully applied makeup done by a professional.
