I was excited and am very please with how Alli's makeup turned out and am so excited to share them with you, with her permission of course. When we talked initially she didn't really know what she wanted for her wedding look. We met about a week or so before the big day and came up with a look that was just what she was hoping for.
I choose a soft brown and cranberry shadow combo and a cranberry lip color, which surprised Alli on how well she liked the finished look.
Trial run 1 week before wedding
Alli's wedding was an evening event, she was going to get ready at the church and then go about the town to take picture - it was a beautiful day out! The room was a hustle and bussle of things and people running in and out and asking questions and quick decision making. Alli held it all together, she was not stressed and enjoyed the moment. At about half way through her hair setting, we started on her makeup. It turned out great - she enjoyed her time, felt good about herself and was ready to go about her big day.
Here are some things that Brides need to consider when choosing a makeup artist for their big day:
1. What kind of products will the Artist use on your skin? Are you getting non-professional foundations applied to your skin? Are you getting long wearing products?
2. Are you advised to clean your skin or do any skin prep prior to your makeup service?
3. Will the Artist provide a lipstick for you to retouch during the day - let's face it - after pictures, the kissing, the reception... at some point your going to need to retouch those lips. I always recommend a lipstick, lip liner and gloss.
However, the essentials are a lip liner and a clear or light gloss!
The liner is going to have the pigment stay on your lips longer and the gloss is so easy to have your maid of honor run across your lips and so much less messy than pulling out a lip stick that might possibly drop on your pretty white dress.
4. Do you like the Artist? Are they listening to your ideas and concerns? With Alli, we went a little more intense with her makeup than she originally wanted and it turned out well - as an Artist, I knew she needed a little more makeup for how long she would be wearing it - inside out side - wedding - reception, starting in the morning with a 7pm wedding. As you can see, it was a great call - Alli felt comfortable and we came up with a plan that worked!
Day of Wedding - March 2010
As an Artist it is sometimes difficult to walk away from the fun environment of the preparation for the wedding, I am so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Alli. Congrats to the happy couple!
