Dear brides,
after booking venue, food catering, photographer and florist remember not to leave for last the make up artist! It is a professional figure who will take care of your bridal make up for the big day.
An advice I suggest is to locate and keep in touch with this supplier about 6 months before the date fixed. Do not find yourself having to fall back on a hasty and unsatisfactory choice in last weeks. It is important to get to know each other and be in harmony with the person who will make you radiant on one of the most important days of your life. So remember to book the date of the wedding and also a trial!
When should I take contact with the supplier?
When you plan a wedding there is a precise “schedule” to follow in the choice of the suppliers. That’s why it’s important that every bride looks for ideas or inspiration for makeup as soon as possible. Only after identifying the place of the ceremony and especially the reception and buying the dress for the big day.
Steps are recommended so that the whole wedding, you and the atmosphere you want to create follow the same orientation to make everything in harmony.
Among the guidelines for the choice of makeup we always recommend something not too extravagant, unless it is the will of the bride, to remain therefore on an almost natural make-up to design a perfect balance between lightness and intensity. Professional must enhance the natural beauty going to amplify in a sober way the somatic traits thus establishing the right balance between the way the bride normally sees makeup and the needs of a photographic makeup.
From make-up must emerge the personality, the character and the attitude of the woman who wears it.
Is the bridal make up the same we use every day?
The one used for a wedding should have precise features! It must be a photographic makeup and this makes you use waterproof and long lasting products.
Most importantly it must be fresh and natural in person and it should not create that shiny effect both live and in pictures.
In conclusion we can say that the makeup can and must be a fixed element of the look of a bride, spotless from beginning to end even if some adjustment is licit and well accepted.
Tips from the expert!
We asked some enlightenment to Sara,a qualified make up artist. Here are some of her indications to take care of yourself in the months of preparation before your wedding.
At the base of everything there must be skin care, which will not only make the makeup more beautiful, but will definitely have a longer duration. No less important the fingernails of both hands and feet; we have to start taking care of them months before and especially if you have to remedy some imperfection.
In the consultation meeting and then trial is essential to know the period of the year in which the wedding will take place, the dress chosen, if the reception will take place at lunch or dinner and even a possible hairstyle thought. That may seem disconnected elements instead are fundamental. The period is crucial because many brides, who have chosen the summer months will have to be careful not to burn their skin and not to leave the signs of a wrong tan.
What is more important is to understand if you would like to change hair colour.
If the reception will take place in the evening the bridal make up can also be a little more obvious however understood and analyzed all these points you can start to evaluate the colours and shades to use for makeup.
Sara confessed that the best thing to do this job is to live and share with brides their moment of joy and happiness, it is a real transport of emotions!
A thought for every woman
“Makeup is expression, it can go to enhance some of our points, highlighting them and can hide some flaws, but at the base we must love each other and be sure of who we are. No matter how much makeup we have on our faces, whether it’s up to us or not, our personality and values don’t change and the person who is waiting at the altar fell in love with them!”
