EXPERT ADVICE:

“Find a Makeup Artist whose style you can relate to. I’m sure we can agree you want your fiance to recognize you when you walk down the aisle, so finding an artist that speaks to your sense of style is so important.

If you don’t wear much makeup on a daily basis, it would be a good idea not to choose a makeup artist who primarily does bold, glamorous looks because more than likely you will look, and feel overdone on your big day.

Consider sanitation and proper hygiene. With Coronavirus being so rampant, it’s important now more than ever to be aware of your artist’s sanitation practices when it comes to your makeup application.

Big no no’s would include double-dipping into the product, not brush cleansing, blowing on brushes, and reusing disposables like sponges.”

3. “Ask for a trial asap.”

Amy A. is the Logistics Lead & Associate Planner at Peppermint & Co. Event Consultants.

With her 8+ experience in event planning and on the catering side, together with the logistics team, she shares her tips on how to pick the right wedding caterer and things that you should ask/discuss/go-over with your potential caterer.

EXPERT ADVICE:

Research their portfolios and check out their reviews; they may have beautiful craftsmanship; however, their professionalism attitude may not match.

Once committed to your make-up artist, ask for a demo so there are no shocks on an actual day.

Most makeup artists can do a range of different skin tones and different looks, ensuring you have seen examples from your makeup artist of their own work for the particular look you want.

For brides with the most sensitive skin, ensure that you go over the products that will be used on your face to ensure that you don’t break out or get a reaction from them.

WEDDING MAKEUP TIPS: WEARING A MASK, ACNE-PRONE, OILY, SENSITIVE SKIN

You might want to consider having two trials, swishing the products to see if you react, and the second is the actual trial.

Also, ask about how long your “chosen look” will take. This will be able to help you plan your timeline better.
