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.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
