My Philosophy on Makeup:
Whether it is your wedding day or a special occasion, we think that it is always
best to take a woman or young lady and bring them one to two levels up in
elegance. For example, a groom would definitely want to recognize his bride
walking down the aisle. The bride should be able to see herself in years to come
as a timeless classic vision of beauty. This is why we try to talk clients out of
trendy looks as well as too glamorous of a look. You should feel gorgeous by the
time we finish our work and yet feel comfortable being you. We will however
accommodate our client's wishes. Feel free to cut out pictures from magazines as
to the look you'd like and we will match it.
What to look for when hiring a Professional Makeup Artist:
Every professional makeup artist starts out by interviewing the client. With a few
questions he/she should be able to sum up the look and feel of the makeup that a
client wants. At this point it is appropriate for the artist to provide the client with
some insight as to what is currently in fashion or what would be best for the
client. Ultimately, the client decides what is best for her and we do what she feels
is comfortable. The last thing you want is for a makeup artist to tell you how to
look. It is wise to make sure that the artist that does your initial dry run will in fact
be the same artist for both portrait and wedding day. Otherwise, it is not a true dry
run.
Also, make sure that you schedule a trial consultation before hiring or providing a
deposit. Ask yourself questions like 1) Did the makeup artist sterilize the brushes
before using them on me? (it's ok to ask), 2) Do I love the look the artist gave me?
(a second trial may be in order), and 3) can I see some of your work? (any skilled
artist should have a portfolio). You need someone that will care as much as you
do!
