Yes! Hire the Make up Artist ! | Why you should ALWAYS invest in looking your best on your day.

You got engage , you have been planning your wedding day pretty much since you were a little girl.  You have search and search until you found the perfect dress, you have hired an amazing wedding photographer (hint , hint ) like Vanessa Vargas Photographer to document all of those amazing, special once in a lifetime moments.  Your photographer ( hint , hint  , us ) will spend time on every single details and will make sure those bridal portraits look amazing , your dress , that you spend a good deal of money will look stunning and yet you have decided that your best friend , your bridesmaid is going to be doing your hair and make up?? 

Lets think about that for a moment , unless your friend is professional make up artist (you lucky girl) your are good to go,  but if you friend is relaying on those youtube tutorials  or spends her Saturdays at Ulta or Sephora  you are in for a surprise.   If you are spending or that time and money or looking amazing like any bride should on your wedding day should you hire the best. ?  When you depend on your friend while she might be good,  does she has what it takes to work under the pressure and the timeline of a wedding day? 

Make up artist know that time is of essence on a wedding day.  There is no room for practice,  trials or do overs.  The time they spent on the bride is of importance , not only they have to make her look gorgeous but they need to know and respect  that other vendors require that they finish their work on time to allow them to do portraits in our case or to comply with the timeline of the day. 

Make up Artists are prepare and know about skin completion , hair texture and in the case of Destination Weddings they have the knowledge and the experience to recommend the best type of make up for our lovely weather.  They also know how to hide those little "imperfections" that make you a little worry and make you look stunning.   We love when a bride choose to hire a professional because we know   not only will she look like goddess on her day , she will be on TIME!!! 

When you hire your make up artist take into consideration the following things.  Send her the look that you are going for.  Pinterest is an amazing location to find inspiration , create a board and make sure to share it with them.  Do a trail ,  a few days before your wedding or if you are able to travel to your destination wedding location to visit your wedding venue take some time to meet and do a trial hair and make up with them.  This will give you an idea of the time she will spend with you . 

Talk to her about doing your hair and make up at your wedding venue.   Having your make up artist at your venue  you make sure you will have un divided attention and makes it more private, fun and  relax for you and  your bridesmaids on a beautiful and comfortable villa or hotel room also that way you and your bridesmaids can be all dress up in those gorgeous robes!  We love them.
