Let\u2019s face it, we all know you\u2019re already burning a hole in your wallet as you go down your wedding checklist and if you\u2019re not, you must be spending a lot of time DIY-ing\/stressing about everything. So that leads you to ask yourself the question, \u201cDo I even need to hire a hair stylist and makeup artist for the wedding day?\u201d You can just do your makeup yourself right? And curling hair, well that\u2019s not all that hard. You can just watch how-to videos online and that’ll get the bridal look down, right? (so that\u2019s what you think). <\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s until you actually try it yourself and realize that 1. Wedding day beauty is a lot harder than it looks, and 2. It\u2019s rather stressful having to practice so many times before the wedding and make sure that hair and face look flawless on the big day. No pressure, of course.<\/p>\n

To be honest, there are some things that you can DIY and there are other things that would just be easier with a professional on board. Obviously, you wouldn\u2019t just hand your dad the camera and ask him to be your photographer. It might save you thousands of dollars, but would the quality be the same as a professional wedding photographer’s? And in the same aspect, you wouldn\u2019t just want to do your makeup or hair, especially if you\u2019re not a regular in front of the mirror. So I’m here to help you decide why you should hire a professional makeup and hair stylist for your time to shine as a bride.<\/p>\n

1.\tMakeup stores are saturated with products and brands. What to buy and where to begin is rather overwhelming. No one person has the same face shape, skin type, and skin tone. This means that no one look will translate the same as it would on another person. Not only that, but buying new products itself will be just as expensive as hiring a makeup artist. A professional makeup artist will be able to help you with the right products, customizing your face with a picture perfect look! <\/p>\n

2.\tWell, what if you already have all the right products? They can only get you so far. You may have the best products, but not the right hand for application. This translates to disaster! (and a waste of makeup — cha ching!). You simply cannot expect to look your best, just by having the best makeup, which is why application is also very important. A professional makeup artist is trained and experienced in makeup application, owning a steady hand and top-notch judgment. Professionals study and know what looks best with your features and they can see you from all angles beyond a mirror.<\/p>\n

3.\tOkay, okay, let\u2019s say you insist on doing your own makeup, but do you really want to be the one doing it on your wedding day? Do you want to stress out about the makeup? Even the calmest and coolest bride gets jittery on her wedding day. It’s a 24-hour adrenaline rush full of excitement and heart flutters. Doing your own makeup won\u2019t help relieve the stress, and instead will just add to it. This is something that brides should really think about. It\u2019s always easier on a day-to-day basis, but your wedding day is not just any other day. Let someone else go to you and provide you the pampering and comfort that you deserve on your wedding day. <\/p>\n

4.\tConsider having a makeup artist help you because they are not afraid. Fearless, determined, and skilled, makeup artists will do whatever they can to make you look your best. When you\u2019re doing makeup yourself, you are more likely to create your usual look, staying within your comfort zone. A makeup artist will not be afraid to go outside the box and do what looks good. Don\u2019t misunderstand this statement by thinking that they will make it look over-the-top dramatic. It just means that they will be willing to add a little more or something different here and there — places you never thought you could apply makeup. Plus, it’s hard for you to know the perfect amount of makeup for the camera. This is another reason why it’s best to hire an expert who comes in and helps create a natural beauty without making it look visibly noticeable and obvious. <\/p>\n

5.\tLastly, having a makeup artist is possibly one of the best investments that a bride can make for herself. Hiring trusted vendors as your photographer, selecting a venue, and committing to a dress, you should feel just as confident in your hair and makeup artist. After all, what will be sitting on your bedside table? Images of your bouquet or you? What about when you send photos to your friends and family? Do you send pictures of the table settings or pictures of you and your new husband? You will be the focus of your photos, so make sure you are the best version of yourself. Keep in mind that you\u2019ll be saving your wedding photos and sharing them for generations on end and what matters most is you and your new groom. <\/p>\n

Don’t make your wedding planning experience tough on your mind and body. Consider having a makeup artist so you can look your best in photos, feel luxurious and relaxed on your wedding day, and still be your wonderful self! <\/p>\n
