Wedding Planning Should Feel Positive
Wedding planning is meant to be a magical time. You’re connecting everything you’ve ever loved in one day. You’re surrounded by the people, music, and food you can’t imagine life without.
You want to look and feel like yourself. I want to make sure you feel confident.
Do You Really Need a Professional Makeup Artist or Should You Do Your Own Makeup For Your Wedding?
If you’re wondering whether you need a professional makeup and hair artist for your wedding day, the answer is maybe. Having a person or team there to create beauty magic brings a level of luxury and peace of mind.
Here’s my insight: Anytime you feel nervous or don’t have a budget to include beauty services, come see me. You can also visit someone licensed in your area. We can customize skincare and makeup steps for your skin type. This gives you that wedding day glow. It creates makeup results that last the entire day.
The Secret to Wedding Day Beauty
After working in the beauty industry and doing hundreds of weddings, I realized something important. Focusing time on a daily skincare routine can be more important than any makeup application by a professional. I started to see the connection between consistency and feeling beautiful.
If I could give one piece of advice to a bride about makeup, it would be this:
“Flawless skin translates beauty in photos better than any makeup application.” -Kelli Thomsen
What This Means for DIY Brides
You want to do your own makeup. But you don’t know if your day-to-day products will work. You’re not sure if you’re even using them correctly.
There are two components to successful wedding day beauty. I’ve narrowed it down to this simple formula:
1. Daily Care + The Correct Colors & Product Options
Your daily skincare routine is your foundation. Combine it with makeup colors that actually suit your skin tone. Use products that photograph well and last all day.
2. Professional Skin Treatments
Schedule treatments like deep cleansing facials in the months leading up to your big day. These prepare your skin for makeup application.
Making Your Skin a Priority
You’re juggling dress fittings, engagement photo planning, and cake tasting appointments. Finding time for skincare in between all of this will make all the difference. It affects how you feel and look.
Making your skin a top priority ensures you feel your most beautiful on your wedding day. There’s nothing better than loving the way your smile and skin look in photos. You come through, not the makeup.
Daily care and a personalized treatment schedule is the best way to ensure your complexion is radiant. Whether I’m applying your makeup or you’re doing it yourself, the result is the same: you look like you.
Why Skin Preparation Changes Everything
Clean, healthy skin is the canvas for all beauty. When you invest in your skin, makeup becomes easier. It applies smoothly. It looks natural. It lasts longer.
This is true whether a professional does your makeup or you do it yourself. The difference is in the preparation, not just the application.
