TOP 10 REASONS TO HIRE A MAKEUP ARTIST ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

TOP 10 REASONS TO HIRE ARTISTRY OF RACHEL ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

There are many reasons why you should hire a makeup artist for your wedding day, and they all revolve around you looking your best on that special day. Your wedding will be captured through photographs, and as professional makeup artists, we will help ensure that your vision is brought to life.

  1. A STRESS-FREE WEDDING DAY.

Your wedding day is bound to be demanding and may include some challenges that you never expected. We will be the ones who will take care of your appearance, and will provide a stress-free environment for you to relax in. We will also offer to meet with you prior to your wedding day to do a trial run of the makeup look you want. On the event day, we will come in, already knowing your desired look and overall vision. Let us be one of your guarantees on this busy day.

  1. COLOUR-MATCHING.

As experienced artists, we are trained in choosing the proper colours for your specific skin tones and under tone.  We have studied colour wheels and charts, and have an understanding of how to enhance or diminish certain features by choosing the right shades.  We will select the correct foundations, eye shadows and lipsticks that will bring out your best.

  1. HIGH QUALITY, PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS.

There’s a big difference between less expensive, drugstore makeup and professional-grade products that have been formulated for a luxurious, lasting experience. We have a kits stocked with runway-quality products that have been tried & tested in the world of high fashion. Makeup artists keep up on the trends and techniques and will have the most up-to-date products and application knowledge.  The other advantage is cost: we are not charging you for the entire product. If you were to go out and purchase every product individually, the price tag would easily be around the $450-$500 mark (not including the proper tools to apply the makeup).  You will save money by purchasing less expensive makeup, but may sacrifice on quality and staying power.

  1. PROPER MAKEUP APPLICATION.

Experienced makeup artists have applied makeup to an array of faces, ages and ethnicities.  We use these talents on a regular basis and are skilled in achieving the perfect cat eye, applying false lashes and making sure you are the beautiful, glowing bride that your groom is waiting for at the end of the aisle.

  1. MAKEUP TIPS AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

Makeup professionals study the art of makeup and know how to emphasize your best facial features. We have knowledge of different skin types and problem areas, and the correct products that will work for you. As your makeup artist we will provide tips and tricks that will benefit you long after your wedding day.

  1. CAMERA-READY MAKEUP. 

Experienced artists have tested their looks in front of a camera.  Did you know that some foundations and powders will create a flashback in photography? Your artist will have the necessary products on hand to prevent this.  We will use contouring techniques to add dimension to your face, correct any problem areas, combat dry or oily skin, and make sure you are flawless in your pictures.

  1. TRIED & TESTED LOOKS THAT WILL LAST.

Professional artists use high quality products, accompanied by special techniques that add an extra layer of security. When you a hire a makeup artist for your wedding you won’t have to worry about your makeup wearing off right after the ceremony!  We are armed with specific primers, powders, eye makeup and setting sprays that make for a worry-free day.

  1. COMPLEMENTARY LOOKS FOR THE ENTIRE BRIDAL PARTY.

By hiring a team for your entire bridal party, your complete looks will compliment the bride and her vision. No one will outshine the bride, and this will ensure that everyone is on the same page. If one bridesmaid prefers a smoky eye and another prefers a neutral eye, we will coordinate the looks to avoid clashing.

  1. THE BENEFIT OF A TRIAL RUN.

As we’ve mentioned, your trial run is key in making sure your wedding day goes smoothly.  There is a close relationship that develops between the artist and the bride, and this is created by asking questions and trying different looks or techniques to discover what your vision is. We may also provide a pre-wedding day skin regiment to ensure the best skin possible for the wedding day.

  1. FLEXIBILITY AND SCHEDULING.

We are a team of dedicated freelance individuals, who will provide excellence in our services.  There is no need for you make additional appointments off-site on your wedding day.  We are set up to come to you, whether it’s at your home or at a hotel, ready with a detailed plan of application times for each person involved.
