Girls,
Just some advice when choosing a makeup artist for your wedding
day.
- Make sure you have a few bridal makeup trials and try a few makeup different make up looks.
- Dont be afraid to tell your makeup artist what you like and especially what you dont like! if you know what you like.
- Every makeup artist has a different technique. This comes down to the fact that make up is an art form, every artist completes it differently. Make sure you are comfortable with the make up artist as she will be working closely with you.
My Thoughts on False Lashes-Individual Lashes
- I would recommend fake eyelashes for your wedding. If you regularly wear false lashes I think you will choose them for your big day. Personally I love them and I wore them on my wedding day. Try out the different false lashes. If you have never worn them make sure you have trials incase you are sensitive to the glue. Most people aren’t but you don’t want to be itching your eyes on your wedding day!
- The “individual lashes” usually cost €15-€25 to get done in a beauty salon and look great on everyone and are best applied after eyeshadow and before mascara. They will last the day after your wedding too if you don’t sleep on your face! And if you don’t remove your wedding eye makeup!
- If you like very natural makeup i would avoid them. Just tell the makeup artist.
- Semi perm lashes or also called 6 week lashes have become a very popular treatment this past 2 years, i have myself personally tried many brands, many lengths, as well as done countless sets. I think they are a good option for your wedding day makeup if most importantly you
- like very natural eye makeup as they look best and have the most impact when worn without eyeliner or lots of eyeshadow. or
- If you expect you will be tearful
- If you are going on a long honeymoon (as you will look amazing everyday without makeup!) I always do them before going on sun holidays. They last great without any maintanence. But it is a good idea to get the remover solution off the salon so you can remove them when they fall out.
- If you like glamourous eye makeup i would not opt for semi perm lashes as you cannot put mascara over them. And for striking wedding makeup you really need lots of definition, eyeshadow and mascara so opt for the individual lashes instead.
So just a few points girls. Hope they help.
