Is it worthwhile to hire a hair and makeup artist?
You may wonder if its worth it or necessary to spend time and money on finding a professional. Weddings are expensive and services quickly add up, so its understandable to try cutting costs by doing some things yourself! “These quotes are costly. Will I look like a ghost in my photos? What if it looks too heavy? Do I trust my own skills enough to follow this YouTube tutorial instead? Maybe my BFF can do it for free!” These are all common thoughts and concerns that could encourage or deter you from hiring a professional. So exhausting!
After speaking to many former brides, most agreed that hiring a professional was worth it for the following reasons:
Lower stress
You and the bridesmaids will have enough to worry about and you don’t want to be stressed out trying to get your eyeliner just right at the last minute. Please allow your party to rest and be pampered on your big day!
The makeup you do to look good in person is NOT the same as the makeup needed to look good in photos
Considering how expensive photography is and how much you'll be looking at the pictures, it's worth it to invest in someone who knows what they're doing. A true professional knows how to accentuate your features so its picked up by the camera, while still allowing you to look like your self.
While your BFF is pretty talented makeup wise (maybe she even did her own wedding makeup before), you’ll prefer to have a pro you can give feedback to without worrying about hurting their feelings. Pros are trained to handle criticism and the bottom line is to make sure you are pleased!
Don’t hesitate to address your concerns with a professional. A good makeup artist will alleviate most worries before your big day. This is why Blushed Bride Artistry offers a Makeup/Hair trial to ensure you are happy with your look. Schedule your trial today!
