Booking Wedding Experts in Beauty for your big day
Choosing a vendor for your bridal beauty can be a mindstorm. There are a few stand out companies who clearly define themselves as wedding experts in beauty and a myriad of makeup artists and stylist who are keen to penetrate the Bridal Beauty market. Booking cheap services for your big day will more than likely land you in a situation that renders you powerless on your wedding day, so before you do that or end up with a look that you are not entirely bowled over with, read some of the pitfalls of booking non-experts in the wedding filed.

Vanished application.
So you have had your makeup applied, to the eye, it's fine, however in photographs it has vanished leaving you looking washed out or plain. Experts think ahead about camera work.

It's OK.

This will enable you to feel full of confidence knowing you look your very best, in fact, better than expected. Have your expectations surpassed, experts work to achieve your smile.
Time Please
Every wedding vendor knows time is of the essence. They work with a sense of timing and urgency and have contingency plans, itineraries and forward planning to ensure that the service they provide slips seamlessly into your schedule. The hair and makeup of you and your bridal party have a major impact on when the wedding will start. Registrars will warn you to avoid a late arrival and risk wedding cancellation, but it is out of your control. Wedding specialists who work with brides weekly will take the guesswork out of the timings and think of everything from Parking to wall sockets to ensure there are no avoidable challenges to being ready on time.
Lack of professional standards.
If a makeup artist practices makeup every day and showcases this on Instagram, that does not qualify them to work brides. I once worked on a Bridal Hair as the makeup artist ran over time and I needed to start. This was uncomfortable for the bride and to top it off, the makeup artist arrived with a low cut top. Nothing against that personally, however, what she did not realise was the poor brides wedding photos and video was filled with...boobs. Things like attire, attitude, hygiene, experience and professionalism will help to enhance your wedding day experience to leave you with no regrets.
Sorry I can't
Bridal Makeup and Hair is about having a can-do attitude and avoid problems so the bride feels relaxed. At times things can change, mum needs an impromptu makeup or you now want lashes. A bridal beauty consultant will be aware that this can happen and have in place some contingency to offer, subject to time.
The right to say NO to Social Media.
Beauty vendors, of course, need to showcase their work to secure new bookings. It is very kind and helpful if a bride allows photographs of her wedding day beauty. However, you still have the right to say no to your images going up on Social Media and you should never be pressured into allowing this if you are not entirely comfortable. A wedding professional will understand this and although may miss the opportunity to showcase your beauty, will have no trouble accepting this and moving on. An experienced professional will not need your pictures as they will have already developed a healthy portfolio of brides.
Professional bridal makeup and bridal hair specialists give you the greatest likelihood of your day going smoothly, a little more budget, a lot more satisfaction. There is a difference between finished and polished.
Most brides when asked about their ideal makeup look say "i want something that looks natural". When a natural look is achieved to the brides satisfaction, they then feel empowered to request a stronger look. Often a bride will suggest a natural look to air on the side of caution. A lot of the time, the bride who requested a natural look with then turn up the volume to a medium application or even a strong look. A bride with no experience in makeovers is usually avoiding cake applications or ill matched foundations. If your makeup artist is a professional, even the strongest of makeup can look flawless and beautiful.
