Bridal Makeup Lesson vs Hiring a Makeup Artist
My Wedding Makeup Journey, Luzern Switzerland
Reflecting on my wedding day by the serene Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, I came to a profound realization - the pivotal role of makeup in my wedding planning. While makeup had been a sporadic part of my past, preparing for the big day brought a fresh perspective. Admiring Kate Middleton's grace in applying her own makeup during her 2014 nuptials, I initially sought a makeup lesson from the talented artist in Zurich, Makeupbyrougy. Her insights and meticulous planning greatly influenced my vision for the perfect wedding makeup.
Although I practiced and planned to do my own makeup, the need to manage the makeup for a large bridal party of 10 bridesmaids and family members led me to hire a professional artist. While I envisioned a calm, meditative morning of applying makeup, the practicality of the situation guided me to engage an expert. After finding Giulia through Blbs Management, referred by my wedding photographer, I drew inspiration from Meghan Markle and Sofia Richie to create a natural, radiant look on my special day.
In considering bridal makeup lessons versus hiring a makeup artist, a few key points became clear:
If you have a large bridal party requiring professional hair and makeup services, having a makeup artist also handle your makeup simplifies the process.
Consider whether applying makeup is relaxing or stressful to you, especially with the goal of ensuring a serene wedding morning.
Keep your budget in mind, as bridal makeup lessons are usually a more budget-friendly option compared to booking a makeup artist for the wedding day. Additionally, the lessons can be valuable beyond the wedding, benefiting your regular makeup routine and product selection.
Envision the style of makeup you desire for your wedding day. A makeup lesson is suitable for a minimal, natural look, while a more elaborate glam look may call for a professional artist.
Wishing you a wonderful Wedding Season!
