How to hire a makeup artist in for your Wedding or Event
By: Lisa Merritt (Lee)
Makeup artistry has become the latest addition to private on location services. Most women have a trusted stylist they see on a regular basis. On occasion when styling is only needed and their regular stylist is unavailable, they will usually let someone else style their hair. As for makeup it is a different story. Most women who are not public figures or celebrities do not have a personal professional makeup artist. When special occasions arise, most do not have a clue on where to find one or even the process in hiring one. They began to ask around or search the Internet. In the beauty industry, new makeup artist emerge everyday. Some work at cosmetic counters, some work and sell for cosmetic lines and others who work in Fashion and Entertainment. Their are also the more extreme artist who work in Special effects, creating monsters and transforming stars into some our most hated Villains and loveable characters. Oh I forgot the artist who did nice makeup on their sister for prom who now is a makeup artist, self taught.
There is a major difference in finding someone to do your makeup, and booking a professional makeup artist. Most professional makeup artist have gone to school and most are license aesthetician. Brides and private events are not there only clients. They make a living without any side jobs working in areas of production, film, television, print and runway. They understand skin types and facial bone structure. They know the proper sanitation and sterilization for their tools, how to prevent contamination of there products, and the transfer of germs from one client to another. They understand the importance of facial contouring and shading which is used to correct eye shapes, noses, cheeks bones etc... They understand skin tones and usage of the right color pigmentation that will match your complexion on the spot, without error, no matter how light or dark your skin may be.
When a professional makeup artist arrives, their main concern will not be to sell you products. If there is a product that they have used on you, and you want to purchase it then that is just business. However, the goal will be to give you a perfect even complexion while enhancing your best features and hiding imperfection. Remember, shopping for a makeup artist with the cheapest price is not a good idea. Good quality makeup and talent cost. The cheaper the price, the cheaper the products and skill quality, you will get what you pay for. Your search should be base on the best artist with the best work that can do the job, even if you have to save for it. A good photo is timeless, look at the makeup in old photo's of Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayward, Elizabeth Taylor timeless or what? Do your home work and hire smart. Check credentials ask if the carry a professional license. Make them back up the years of experience they are claiming. The state of Florida requires a license to even put cream on a persons face, most States have thier own regulations. In Florida you can do your search at FloridaDBPR , (use my name for a sample search Lisa Merritt). Also check out to see if the company is a real company at Sunbiz.org. Ask questions; ask to see their work and more work. Trials for hair styling are essential and should be for both client and artist to collaborate. Trials for makeup should be your choice to do and not a suggestion from the artist. A professional artist does not need a trial to do beauty makeup. In production we don't do trials, we a presented with ideas and it is our job as the artist to produce. Do not get caught up in advertisement words, the proof is in the WORK! A makeup artist who has had been in the industry for years, licensed or not, will have a portfolio and a website filled with there actual work (not bought stock photo's). When a makeup artist is consider for a job any where else in this profession, without the proper creativity, skills, resume and images to show, they will not be hired.
Makeup & Hair Questions and Answers
What is Airbrush Makeup?
Airbrush makeup is a water-based makeup that is specially formulated to be sprayed through an airbrush gun, which is a small device that looks a lot like a pen. The airbrush makeup is sprayed over the face in micro-fine droplets that adhere to the skin giving it a very natural, yet flawless
coverage.
How long will the makeup last?
Our professional makeup application techniques will ensure that your makeup will last 6-8 hours if not longer. We use primers and sealers to ensure long lasting, kiss-proof, cry-proof makeup that will last as long as you do.
What's the difference between regular makeup (foundation) and airbrush makeup (foundation)?
Regular makeup is your traditional liquid, powder, or cream foundation which is generally applied using a sponge, a brush, or your fingertips. Airbrush makeup is lightweight, giving excellent coverage using less makeup. It is also very natural looking, so you feel and look like you, without looking or feeling "made up." Airbrush makeup has been the secret in Hollywood for years.
Note: You will still get flawless makeup application with regular foundation, You will just need to touch up with powder from time to time. Remember regular makeup has a life, and can be applied to last longer by a professional. Airbrush Foundation takes the worry away without having to touch up.
