Wedding Make Up
Make Up Artist London – The Specialists in Bridal Hair and Wedding Make Up
Every bride wants to look beautiful on her wedding day. It’s only natural to want your husband-to-be to think “Wow!” when he sees you walk down the aisle.
And, let’s not forget, your wedding day will be captured for posterity in your photos, so it’s more important than ever to look your best – all day long. A professional wedding make up artist will know all the tricks of the trade to make you look stunning, not only in the flesh, but also in the photos.
Wedding Make Up is a careful balancing act – looking naturally beautiful, without appearing washed out. Flash photography emphasizes pink tones in the skin, so a foundation with a slightly yellow tone is advisable.
Nude and pale lip colours look washed out in photographs, so a wedding make up artist may choose a lipstick that’s one to two shades deeper than what you’d normally wear. Pinks, roses, and plums are great choices for wedding make up.
When getting quotes for your wedding make up, check what is included in the price. Does it include a trial run? Can they do your bridesmaids and Mother-of-the-Bride’s make up too? Do they provide an “All-Day” service, which includes make up re-touches before the photographs, and for the evening reception?
Wedding Make Up – The Trial Run!
Why is it important to have a trial run before the wedding? Of course, you’ll want to look really special on your wedding day, but this is not the day to be experimenting with completely new looks. This is the day to make yourself look the very best version of you. Your wedding day is probably the most expensive day of your life, so when it comes to your wedding make up, you don’t want to take any gambles, and risk hating the way you look in the photos for the next 20 years!
We would advise you to take a picture of your dress to your wedding hair and make up trial, as well as any headpieces, tiaras, combs, or veils. It’s essential for your wedding make up artist to see your overall look.
The make up artist will try out several different options for your wedding make up, and when you have chosen the look you are happy with, she will take photos and make written notes, so that the look can be re-created on the day.
Wedding Make Up – The Wedding Day!
Make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to get ready. However long you think it might take – double it! You will be surprised on the day how quickly the time goes. And, as obvious as it might seem, make sure you, the bride, take priority. You don’t want to be flustered and rushing to get ready!
If you have lots of bridesmaids, it may be best to have 2 wedding make up artists, so you can all be made-up at the same time. Allow at least 1 hour for the bride’s make up, and 30 minutes each for the bridesmaids and Mother-of-the-Bride.
Now, you’re all ready for the big day. You’re wearing your dream wedding dress, your hair and make up are done to perfection. You look stunning, and your Mr Right is waiting for you. Now, all you have to do is walk down the aisle towards him, and wait for the “Wow”!
