Can you imagine your wedding without a professional makeup artist? “No way!” Yes- a makeup artist is a person you will hire months before the wedding and with whom you will spend significant amount of time on the special day. It is the person who will be in charge of making you look your best beautiful. So, it is very important to communicate your thoughts and wishes to them and clarify doubts, if any, in advance. Unfortunately, in most cases, brides fail to realize this resulting in disappointments and misunderstandings. Here are the 6 things every bridal makeup artist wishes you would tell them while booking a date-

1. That you want to look like a Bollywood star
Don’t worry, you are not the only bride deeply fascinated with Bollywood . At least 40% of the brides-to-be secretly wish to look like a Bollywood star on their wedding day. While you have every right to get inspiration from Bollywood movies, you also need to share your vision with your makeup artists. For the makeup artists, it takes a lot of time and preparation to arrange the makeup kit accordingly. Therefore, if you tell them about your desire while booking a date, they will come prepared.
2. That you want to copy a look
Similarly, if you want to copy a look from a bride you have seen somewhere, let your makeup artists know ASAP. Maybe, you have seen a bridal makeup online or at a wedding and since then the look is on your mind. Now, to see whether that particular look suits your face or not, or what changes need to be done to make it suitable for your face and skin type, you must talk to your makeup artists in advance. You may also discuss with the artist if you want to go for trials to get the correct look. Take some pictures along, if needed.
3. That your skin is super-sensitive
This is one of the most common issues faced by brides as well as the makeup artists. Often, brides with sensitive skins complain of skin irritation, rashes, allergies at the very last moment. To avoid this situation at any cost, bridal makeup artists wish their clients would make them aware of their skin issues before it’s too late.

4. That you wouldn’t like us to use our kit
It can save a lot time for both the parties, if the bride specifically asks the wedding makeup artists to use her personal makeup kit or her preferred products instead of theirs.
5. That you want us to cover your guests as well
This is perhaps the main cause that creates a lot of misunderstandings between hosts and vendors right before a wedding. A number of wedding guests, family members and friends wish to get their makeup done by a professional, preferably, the bridal makeup artist who may be already present there. If the bride does not count the heads and discuss the matter with the artist, it automatically leads to chaos and drifts.
6. That you don’t wish to be rushed
So that the artist can keep his/her schedule free only for you.
Now that you know what a bridal makeup artist wishes to hear from the brides-to-be in advance, dial your artist’s number and have a detailed conversation with these pointers mentioned above.
