Wedding makeup is an art itself. It’s different from your everyday makeup, or even makeup for other big events in your life. Your wedding day isn’t the time to try that new makeup trend you saw on TikTok, nor is it the time to give your best friend’s cousin the chance to test out their new “makeup skills” they learned from Youtube (sorry best friend’s cousin). If you want to look amazing, both in person, and in photos, you’ll want to leave it to the professionals.
Photo ready
Your wedding photos will be the focal point of your future home pretty much forever (hello giant canvas gifted to you by your mother-in-law). Professional makeup artists understand the importance of photo-ready makeup. It’s one thing to have your makeup look killer in person, but there are nuances when translating from in person to on film. At 614 Beauty, our artists understand this and pay every attention to detail to provide you with an amazing look that will survive the test of time.
One detail, for instance, is the use of foundation or powder with sunscreen. There are ingredients in these types of products that reflect light, meaning they’ll look different when photographed inside with flash. They create unflattering patchiness in photos, which is so not what you’re going for. If your wedding is outdoors and photographed in natural light, then this isn’t a problem. These types of details are all things your artist should know and is another reason to consider hiring a professional that will make you look amazing for your wedding day and wedding photos.
Classic and timeless
Do you ever look back at those pictures of your middle-school self and wonder, how in the hell did your parents ever let you leave the house looking like that? I have entire photo albums hidden on Facebook of the most cringe-worthy high school “photoshoots” I had with my friends. Yikes! Your wedding day shouldn’t get the same treatment. New trends, full glam, etc. are not the right look for your bridal makeup. Classic and timeless is the name and 614 Beauty is the game! Of course, we want to make you happy and we are thrilled to work with you to find exactly the look you’re going for without having to look back on photos 15 years down the road with regrets.
Bridal party
Many brides let their bridal party choose whatever hair and makeup style they like, but there is something to be said about a cohesive unit. We’ve had brides that like to have their bridal party have more subdued looks than the bride. Their makeup complements the bride without standing out more. The photos for these types of makeup looks create a harmonious appeal that is amazing!
Hire a professional
In case you didn’t get us so subtly (okay, not so subtly) hinting at this before, hiring a professional to do your Columbus wedding makeup and hair is a must. The benefits of this go even beyond professionalism and expertise. Makeup artists are rad people and we love getting to know our brides! 614 Beauty goes above and provides our clients with industry knowledge, years of experience, and realness; maybe even some laughs too.
