Tips in Selecting a Professional Makeup Artist for your Wedding Day

Every little detail on your wedding day counts.  The church, reception venue, entourage, number of guests, the weather, your gown, and of course, yourself as the bride and star of this important event!  You would want to look your best, and your most beautiful - with the help of your chosen makeup artist. Remember the six C’s before enlisting the one that will assist you in achieving your goal:

Myth No. 1:  Wearing Makeup Everyday is Harmful for the Skin
Fact:  Makeup serves as a barrier as it shields the face from the elements:  dust, wind, and harmful rays of the sun.  Most make up (please read the label) contain moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that are beneficial to the skin. Foundations, powders, lipsticks and lip glosses now provide sun protection with an SPF of 15 or even higher.  Just make sure to remove all traces of makeup before going to bed.

Makeup, like technology, is also continuing to evolve over the years.  There is so much to choose from that sometimes, purchasing a product alone that is right for your skin type is already a tedious feat.  Another issue that comes to mind is the application technique.  Aside from the traditional way of applying make up, another method that is currently becoming as popular is airbrush.  How is it different from the other?

As the name suggests, Traditional make up has established itself as the long standing, go-to, time tested method of enhancing one’s assets and covering imperfections.  True.  But who would have thought that AIRBRUSH Makeup has been quietly working its way into the mainstream for quite some time now.  It was first invented in 1879 by Abner Peeler using the most basic parts from a jeweler’s shop.  Zooming on to 1958, it was used extensively by MGM in their epic movie, Ben Hur for the thousands of extras casted as (tanned) Romans.  Today, every modern woman can actually purchase and own a personal airbrush kit for everyday use.
