Looking your best in photos - should you get a professional make-up artist?


So, maybe you are a bride deciding whether or not to get a professional make-up artist for your wedding day. Or possibly you are a high school senior thinking about having your make-up done for your senior portraits.

Should you do your own make-up or hire a professional?

There isn't a right or wrong answer here. Some people are extremely good at applying make-up and see no need to hire a professional.

Here are some things to think about when making a decision.

I will always suggest, when in doubt - hire a professional. I'm not saying you can't do a great job on your own. However, most make-up artists will know what make-up looks good in pictures, what make-up will hold up on a hot day, and what make-up will not run if tears begin to flow or rain begins to fall. There are lots of products out there that might look great in the mirror, but add the flash from a camera and you could be looking like Casper the ghost!

You brush your own teeth every day, just as every day you apply your own make-up. But hopefully, twice a year, you visit the dentist to get a professional teeth cleaning, right? So why not - on such an important day - hire a professional?

I work with amazing professionals that can fit into any price range. If you want a flawless complection and perfectly pouty lips that look like they came straight out of a fashion magazine - you can have them. This is YOUR wedding day. Or these are YOUR senior portraits. A one-time event. These pictures will be around forever, and a small investment of professionally styled hair and make-up will guarentee to have you looking your best!!!

You are making an investment in the photos and clothing for the shoot or wedding day. For less than the cost of your shoes - you can be certain your make-up will look fabulous as well!!!
