6 Benefits of the Bridal Party Using the Same Makeup Artist

Your wedding day is something you’ve dreamed about most of your life. You want everything perfect, including your appearance. Splurging on a makeup artist for your big day ensures you look and feel good for the event as well as the pictures you will look back on for the rest of your life. 

When you are interviewing makeup artists, you’ll want to ask if the person can handle doing the makeup for your entire bridal party. It will require a little extra time, but think of it as bonding with your ladies. Schedule plenty of time, sit back and relax, and let a skilled artist work their magic.

Here are six benefits to using the same makeup artist for all members of your bridal party. 

1. More Cost Effective 

You will get a better deal on the service fee. A professional will generally charge less per person because they don’t have to travel to several venues. Their day is a little easier, and those savings will be passed along to you. Don’t be afraid to ask about discounts for hiring an artist to do the makeup for several people. 

2. A Cohesive Look

One artist means one cohesive style. You’re not going to have to worry about one artist having a heavier hand than another. You can also be sure the technique matches. This will give you continuity in the wedding photos you’ll be looking at for the rest of your life. 

3. Easier on the Schedule

Using one artist means the schedule is set. You don’t have to worry about one makeup artist being late and then scrambling to have another one perform the service. This will also save the bride from trying to coordinate several people. It streamlines the process and takes pressure off the bride. 

4. Everyone’s on the Same Page

Hiring a single artist also saves you the hassle of trying to express the look and vibe you’re going for to numerous people. Having your bridal party meet with the artist all at once allows everyone to get on the same page. Ultimately, it’s your wedding and you get to set the tone. However, you will want all of your bridesmaids to be comfortable with the makeup plan. Your makeup artist can provide samples of previous work to give everyone an idea of the options. 

5. Only One Bill

One artist means one bill to pay. A wedding can quickly rack up expenses, and it can become overwhelming. Invoices might get misplaced or lost, and that can lead to problems. One artist means one bill. 

6. Simple Touch-Ups

Touch-ups are a breeze. You’ll need to have clear guidelines in the contract you sign about touch-ups after the ceremony, reception, and during pictures. Using one artist who is at the ready eliminates the question of what shade was used and what technique to use. It is all about continuity to give you the best outcome.
