As a makeup artist I am constantly asked the question,”Why do I need a makeup artist for my wedding?” I know that as a beauty professional I am biased but this question seems a bit ridiculous to me. I would argue that not only should you have a makeup artist for your wedding, you need one that is actually experienced working with brides. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You’ve spent a lot of time and money preparing for this moment- you should definitely not skimp on one of the finer details (IE how you and your bridal party look) in order to save a few dollars.
I understand that weddings are expensive. According to The Knot, the average wedding costs $27,800. Now, I realize that those numbers may be high based on some exuberantly expensive weddings but that is a big number. Trying to save money on how you look on your big day is not the way to go. Your wedding is a memory that you and everyone involved will have for the rest of their lives and you want to look your best. Most weddings hire professional photographers to capture the moment and I know, these aren’t cheap either. Looking for wedding photographers Cleveland contact Allison Hopkins Photography.
I know what your thinking- I know how to do my own makeup. I don’t mean to be rash, but no you don’t. Unless you are a professional makeup artist with years of experience working on brides you really don’t know the intricacies of working with professional photography. Could you get it done yourself? Absolutely. It just won’t be the same and the end product will suffer. Remember, you will be looking at these photos for the rest of your life! Here are just a few of the reasons why need to hire a professional wedding makeup artist for your big day:
The professional grade products we use are better than yours
– Our makeup lasts for more than 12 hours- can yours?
We know what we’re doing!
Believe it or not it takes a lot of training to
– Do you really want to think about beautifying yourself on a day you spent $28,000 on everything else?
You probably also have a camera- but that doesn’t make you a professional photographer.
