Bridal Makeup Artist / Beauty Tips

Bridal makeup: is a clean, flawless, pearly and enhanced makeup, color choices are; warm tone colors such as” cream, gold, pastel green, peaches and browns or cool tone colors such as lilacs, violets, plums and soft pinks.” Bridal makeup is not a club or an evening party makeup so keep the consistency medium or low.
Remember that neutral colors are always an excellent choice to achieve an enhanced natural look for a sophisticated and sexy bride.

Bridal Hair style: Bridal hairdo is recommended to be an up-do or a half up half down. The reason for the recommendation is that suggested styles would be very practical in terms of keeping the style and shape for a very long time as well as being comfortable and cool especially in summer season. If you are going for more of a sophisticated classic look, a full up-do is recommended. If you are going for more of a romantic look half up and half down is the look for you. Another popular do is The Low-Do. It is referred to a large bun shape around the lower head or neck area. This is a chic and modern style for a fashionable bride.

What is a Neutral color? It is referred to the various shades of earth tones. Colors that are subtle and mudded. It is also an average consistency of beige and browns. Neutral Browns could surly come in the slight hints of pink or green or gray. Taupe is a popular neutral brown with a hint of plum color to it.
Bridal makeup must be durable and resistant to last the whole event. It must work for pictures, film and also look flawless in actual and close-up.
Color coordination: All the colors used in your makeup should be in the same family and coordinate. You could either use the cool tones or warm tones. Do not mix up cool and warm together.
Theme coordinating: The whole look should follow the same theme (hair, makeup, jewelry and gown, shoes, etc).
Tips to find a makeup artist for your up-coming occasion? Imagine it is your big day, the final and very important detail of your preparation to start your whole experience is your hair and makeup. It always strikes me that how much money is spent in a wedding to please family and friends verses to giving to the main person “the bride,” whom is the center and the star of the show.  Everyone is there to see the bride. Dear bride, do not deprive your guests and yourself from the best possible performance & appearance of your lifetime. You need to have the best and you deserve it. Here are some hints on what to look into when hiring a makeup artist, Punctuality and Timing, Confidence, Professionalism, Hygiene, Personality or Attitude, Years of Experience, Makeup Kit and Quality of Cosmetics.
Beauty salon for a wedding makeup and hair style?  Here is what to watch for: traditionally beauty salons do not do contracts and just exchange words with the clients and make a note in a general shop calendar. The problem with this method is that the salon artists must be sure that they have work booked up for the day of event also. In that case what happens is they “over book” for the sake of “potential cancellations” by a few of the reserved clients. In most cases all of the clients show up and that is why it is known that salon weddings are to be late for their timing. So a detailed contract may save you a lot of hassle and time if you are working with a salon artist. I don’t see why not working with a punctual and talented salon artist if that is what you wish to do. In my opinion a free lancer is a better choice.
Is it necessary to do a contract or written agreement & to secure your reservations? Please be aware of an artist who is not prepared to give you his or her written commitment. It is an excellent way of reinsuring your reservation. It also shows that your artist will keep a track of time and other details of the day of event. Isn’t that a sign of professionalism as well as punctuality?
Here are the numbers you do the math! Bottom line you want to have a skilled confident artist who can create a look that you have always had in your mind. Artists who can help you see the most beautiful of you and help you find out the best possible “look” for you as well as achieving it. The artist who is respectful of your need and desire also contributes her/his opinion to benefit the situation along with professional attitude. You do not want to sit on somebody’s chair for one hour and be uncomfortable. After all makeup is very personal and intimate experience. It could easily become one of the worst or best experiences of your life. Remember makeup is the last detail to start your big day so why not for it to be fun and a pleasant event. And it sure could be. So do your homework and if you have to pay a little more just do it, because you’re worth it. Remember to ask for a detailed contract at the time of leaving your deposit.
What is a bridal, vender contract/ agreement? A bridal contract is a paper that states all the details of the service, as well as the deposit amount and the total of costs. This is a promise proof from your vender to you. A verbal promise may not hold as strong. This is exchanged between the vender professional and the bride at the time of booking. The contract will provide a security and an understanding of the nature of the services for both parties. Make sure you get a detailed contract from your vender and be aware of venders who won’t offer one.
How do you know how much to pay for a good makeover? How much an artist worth to pay for? Can you really put a price on an artwork? How do you do that? Well, let me give you few tips to help you weed out some troubles to help you hire an artist who is worth your budget.
Makeup & hair is the last detail and one of the most important elements to start your special day. Every artist has his or her price; however the price could vary from range of $50 to $1000 or may be in some cases more or less depending to the city, state or time of the year or popularity of the artist. But an average rate for bridal makeup is about $175 and for bridal party $85.
Of course $50 would hire you an Avon lady who would try to sell you cosmetics on the day of the special event. For some clients, it may not be an option to pay $1000 for a makeup application. So let’s get in to the point.
Word of mouth, referrals and web site search will lead you to some artist which you will be choosing yours. Do a trial session and if you decided to hire the artist sign a contract for exchange of your security deposit to secure the date. Please tip your artist especially if they are doing a trial for a very little money. It pays off, trust me.
Need help to find- out what you want for your makeup and hair style? If you happened to know what sort of makeover you would like to have it makes it easy for everyone. First get a few bridal or fashion and style magazine. Check out the looks and see which ones interest you the most, earmark the pages, and show it to your artist. You may start your communication to your artist by showing pictures and descriptions, and it is all up to you to make the final decision. Trial makeup is absolutely recommended. Not only it helps you to evaluate the skill of the artist but also it helps to find these important points about the artist. . Punctuality and Timing, Confidence, Professionalism, Hygiene, Personality or Attitude, Years of Experience, Makeup Kit and Quality of Cosmetics. These are some of areas to look in to at the time of try makeup.

 If you are getting what you want it is worth any money. If you are not sure what you would like to have, it is a good idea to get some honest opinion from a friend or a person who understands makeup and style. Your grandmother or aunt, or someone in that rank, does not count. You want to ask people who like makeup and ware makeup. Remember that no need to ask for opinion of too many people because you can not possibly make everyone happy.
Water proof makeup verses water resistance makeup? The difference between the two is: that water resistant makeup only resist water and body perspirations. It is less durable but easier to remove when needed to be removed and in most time removable with a general remover. It is recommended for everyday use. For example if you use a water proof mascara every day, and try to remove it every night perhaps after one month you have no lashes left since it is very difficult to get it dissolved and removed. It is not recommended for everyday use. Water proof makeup is not really water proof at all the times. This term is used to tell you that the makeup is more resistance to water. Perhaps you need to have a cream base cleanser to remove it. It is recommended to be used for occasions. And please remember that regardless of its resistance the makeup is not tattooed to the skin it is still fragile and will be removed if you touch your face and get careless with it.
The motor injection air brush makeup: is a technique that I use mostly for TV and media work. It looks fine on the film and screen as well as body painting. But it looks pasty up close and in real life and I don’t like to use it for brides. Why we use it so much on films? Because it is fast and easy since in film industry we don't have much time to apply a fully-cared application.
Is air brush makeup recommended for brides? When it comes to weddings, I put so much extra care, because it is a once a life time event. So I use the best product and the proper application to avoid any risks of skin rash caused by strange chemicals that maybe in some products. I also make sure that my safe products can also create a fantastic flawless look up-close as well as on the print and film. My recommendation for the bridal makeup is a line of professional products that are safe, flash proof, stay-on, and manually brushed or sponged on the skin. As far as air brush makeup goes I only recommend only a certain type of canned air brush makeup which I use in some occasions. I do not recommend any air injector air brush makeup for a bridal application. In my opinion and experience it looks heavy on the face, the products are risky (skin rash) and it does not hold as well as some other products. Just because it is called air brush makeup, doesn’t mean it creates air brushed and flawless look.

What are a Bridal trial session& consultation for makeup and hair? Bridal consultation is a conversation exchanged between a professional and the bride about how he or she would provide the service and how everything works. Also often in the consultation some professional advise and give their opinion to help the bride choose the right service for herself. Please ask a lot of questions from your vender since it usually offered free of charge. Yes you heard it right consultation is normally free. However, consultation is a conversation it does not include the trial session or any product or service. You may also use the consultation time to evaluate and eliminate some artist and make your final choices. Consultation could take place on line or in person or by phone.

  Makeup Artist Boot Camp: No clumpy mascara especially over top of the false eyelashes. No red lipstick and no dark lip liner to frame your beige color lips. It looks bad. Too much tan looks tacky. Too little blush looks sick. No caked on makeup. Keep the balance in your overall look and respect your makeup artist’s opinion, (only if it makes sense). Now do fifteen sit ups and ten pushups, because that’s what we do in the makeup artist boot camp. Oh yeh baby bride!

A: You can shine just as bright



Applying the right make-up the right way can make all the difference to your appearance. Before we divulge any further into the tips and tricks I must ask you to stop and access yourself.

Be honest, look in the mirror and ask yourself what you want from your appearance. Is it refinement? Is it youth? A better complexion? Because once you are honest with yourself only then can you complete this journey with a great degree of success.

Don’t feel bad about yourself, there is not one person that wants to improve something of themselves. Probably even your favorite, flawless celebrity!


B: What the celebs don’t want you to know

When I say it takes an army to make celebrities look as good as they do, You know I’m right, but does that mean you or me with just ourselves at our service cannot look that good or even better?

No. This is what you never find out from the celebrities, that though they do buy their beauty and spa services, with just a few little basic tricks, you can do it without the army.

The key is in knowing these simple techniques that you probably knew but never put together.


C: Is this Program for you?

Answer these questions: Do you want to look the best, confident, most beautiful you have ever looked? Do you want to stand out for your flawless beauty instead of your primitive make up? If you answered yes, read on; this book is THE tool to help you with your makeover success story.

This program will work for you because it is made for you, just that simple the average woman.

 Chapter 2

Au Naturale






Before we get into the meaty, section I have to inform you, with the abundance of cosmetics lining every shelf in every store, the concept of natural beauty is all but dead.

However, when it comes to having the natural or the “nude” look, its always all the rage! Women spend millions every day just to look natural.

So when you see a “natural” beauty walk by you in the mall or see one on the TV, feel free to wonder how much work went into being so natural.

A.  The Real from the Fake

Another thing you must realize and train your self to detect is the real from the fake. The fake here of course means enhancing their looks through cosmetic surgery.

More often than not, these procedures don’t culminate in the desired results, and they cost you an arm and a leg! With our make-up techniques, you won’t ever think of going under the dreaded knife.

You will get all the results you’ve wanted and more. Just a caution: do not be un-realistic in your transformation. You will not get lips that stretch to your chin without surgical help.

 
Chapter 3

Polish, Dust and Ready to Sparkle!




This is the part where you commit; you take a leap towards a new you! What are you waiting for?

A: Secrets for revitalizing youth, overnight!

There is nothing more important than taking good care of your skin. It is the largest organ on your body. Keep yourself hydrated and clean at all times to keep that skin glowing, and follow the guidelines below as a life mantra!

First.           Less is More: When it comes to looking youthful, the biggest favor you can do yourself is stop piling on the thick layers of make up. They don’t hide the wrinkles or age spots; they just make them more prominent. Instead of a thick oil based foundation, use a water based one, or better yet, a mineral powder.
Second.                Moisturize: Every morning, every night, moisturize. Add some moisturizer in your foundation before you apply any in the morning.
Third.        Under Eye: Being the most sensitive part of the skin, this requires some special attention. Use a reflective shadow, a light yellow, or luminescent pick under the eye instead of a thick concealer.
Fourth.                    No Red Lipstick: A neutral color compliments skin much more then a harsh red!
Fifth.          Cheeky: Don’t cake on a ghastly color on your cheeks! A neutral (mineral based) blush will give you a much fresher look.

That’s it! It is just that easy!



2. Simplify, look fabulous:

This is the second biggest factor in making this program work for you. So just read these make up dos and don’ts and get ready to look fab!
    


First.             Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!
Second.              Throw away the concealers, they are good for nothing but aging.
Third.         Rest! Your grandmother was right, get your sleep. Keep it dewy.
Fourth.                 Exfoliate regularly. Not once a month.
Fifth.           Bronze, but don’t over do it.
Sixth.        Protect! Make sun-screen lotion your best friend.

3. Spa treatments at home:

When exercising or choosing a regiment that works for you, keep in mind the time it will take. Spas can be luxurious no doubt and do treat yourself when you can. But for regular treatments, don’t empty out your pockets; doing it at home is far more comfortable anyway.

You can vary the ingredients according to your skin type, but the general process for a good facial is:
·       Cleanse
·       Exfoliate
·       Tone (toner)
·       Steam
·       Mask/ Clay
·       Wash

Well-kept hands and feet are also a sign of care.

4. Relax:

The easiest way to trick your body into feeling and looking great is giving it plenty of time. Relax with a book over the weekend or watch your favorite romantic comedy. Whatever unwinds you and takes your mind off things is great for your looks.

If you don’t put back some of the energy you take out back into your body, it will show. Relax, be happy. As Corny as it sounds, it works wonders.
