Essex based professional freelance make-up artist Kelly Hollands suggests a lesson in make-up before your wedding day could be just what you need.
Make-up Lessons
Are you getting married abroad and in need of perfecting your bridal look before your wedding day? Are you a complete novice when it comes to make-up and its application? Or maybe you have been using the same products and colours for many years and are in need of a complete overhaul of your make-up bag. If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, a make-up lesson is a must!
Make-up novice
A make-up lesson is ideal for anyone who is a complete beginner when it comes to cosmetics and their application. With lessons tailored to suit your individual needs and with step-by-step instructions and guidance you will become more confident each time you pick up a brush!
Stuck in a rut?
It is so easy to use the same products and colours day to day and to shy away from experimenting. But the great thing about make-up is that it can be wiped away if you make a mistake! Maybe you aren’t making the most of your best features and are unsure of how to disguise others? By booking a make-up lesson you will learn many new techniques and styles, all within the comfort of your own home.
Why book a lesson with a make-up artist?
 Many brides-to-be tend to think of beauty and cosmetic counters when it comes to bridal makeovers and lessons. Whilst this is a great way to find out what look suits you, you won’t necessarily try more than one look and you may also be encouraged to purchase products. The majority of make-up artists will use various cosmetics rather than one individual brand and you won’t have the worry of having to purchase at the end. A lesson is a great way to copy the make-up artist’s techniques under their watchful eye. You will have the opportunity to try many different looks until you are happy with the results and feel confident to re-create the look on your big day.
Not everyone feels comfortable with the idea of having their make-up applied by a make-up artist on their wedding day. Some people may feel that only they know the products that suit their skin and know that they would feel happier applying them. If you are one of these brides-to-be, then that is fantastic! However, a make-up lesson will show you exactly what products to apply where and how much of each product to use to gain stunning, long-lasting results.
Photography plays an important part in any wedding day and make-up should be applied to ensure you won’t look ‘washed out’ and ‘colourless’ in all photographs, whether they are black and white or colour. This does not necessarily mean applying more make-up than you would normally wear, but more to do with what you apply. There are a number of products on the market which are not suitable for flash photography and should be avoided on your wedding day at all costs.
 Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat Radiant Touch is a good example. This is a fantastic product which banishes shadows and signs of fatigue from the eye area. Great for everyday use, but a complete no-no when it comes to flash photography as its light-reflecting properties will cause panda eyes. Not a good look for any bride on her wedding day!
As a make-up artist, my job is to make you feel and look beautiful and confident on one of the most special days of your life. It is also about giving out advice and tips on make-up application and technique. So whether you are getting married abroad and need advice on products to use for a hot / humid climate, want to know how to achieve a smoky eyed look or just simply would like to learn some essential tricks of the trade, why not book a one-to-one lesson and achieve that look you desire!
