Wedding planning is meant to be a magical time, when you feel like you’re connecting everything you’ve ever loved in one day, surrounded by the people, music and food you can’t imagine life without! You want to look and feel like yourself and I want to make sure you feel confident!
If you’re wondering if you really need a professional makeup and hair artist for your wedding day, the answer is maybe. There is definitely a level of luxury and the experience is pampering, but if you feel nervous or do not have a budget to include beauty, I can customize skin care and makeup steps for your skin type and attributes, so you have that wedding day glow and makeup results that last the entire day.
I realized after working in the beauty industry and doing hundreds of weddings, that focusing time on a daily skin care routine can be more important than any makeup application by a professional and I started to realize the correlation between consistency and feeling beautiful. If I could give one piece of advice to a bride about makeup, it would be that
“Flawless skin translates beauty in photos better than any makeup application.”
-Kelli Thomsen
What does this mean for those who want to do their own makeup, but don’t know if their own day to day products will work or if they are even using them correctly? There are 2 components to a sucessful day of beauty on your wedding day and I’ve narrowed it down to having a Consistent Daily Skin Care Regimen combined with Professional Treatments in the months leading up to the BIG day.
- DAILY CARE +the correct colors & product options
- SKIN TREATMENTS, like a Deep Cleansing Facial
Finding time for skin care in between all the dress fittings, engagement photo planning and cake tasting appointments is going to make all of the difference in how you feel and look. Making your skin a top priority is going to ensure that you feel your most beautiful on your wedding day. There is nothing better than loving the way your smile and skin looks in photos, so you come through, not the makeup. Daily care and a personalized treatment schedule is the best way for me to ensure that my makeup application and your complexion is radiant.
