Should I Hire a MUA for My Wedding Day?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

You\u2019ve made a big investment in photography (and possibly videography as well) to help capture your big day. You want to make sure you absolutely look your best. Although, I\u2019m sure you do a very nice job on your everyday makeup, I strongly recommend looking into hiring a makeup artist(MUA).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why you should hire your own MUA:<\/h2>\n

Even though you\u2019re great at doing your own makeup, a MUA can do it so much better. I mean, after all, that is their job. We especially recommend hiring a good MUA if you don\u2019t normally do your own makeup. They know what will look good on you and can make it look natural and flawless.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Makeup artists use high-grade makeup \u2013 nothing runs, shines, or smudges, ensuring that you don\u2019t have any makeup malfunctions during your big day. They also know what works well with the flash, the lighting at different times of the day, etc.<\/p>\n

On your wedding day, you\u2019re going to be moving around all day and you want your makeup to last. You\u2019ll need to be wearing about 30% more makeup than normal. It may seem like a lot in real life, because you\u2019re not used to it, but it won\u2019t look like a lot on camera. Makeup artists know exactly how much to put on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A MUA knows how to accentuate your features to make sure you look your best for portraits and close ups. They know that cameras alter lighting and colors and how to avoid common makeup issues with photography. Some everyday makeups can make you look oily or shiny on camera \u2013 MUAs make sure the makeup they use will photograph perfectly. Also, on your wedding day, you\u2019ll be wearing a lot of white. You don\u2019t want to look washed out in your photos and a MUA knows how to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And lastly, they know your schedule and can help keep you on track by making sure to have you ready in time. Looking for more tips? Be sure to subscribe to our MAILING LIST<\/a> for all the latest wedding tips!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
