Professional Make up for Wedding
12 posts, 8 members
Hey everyone, in 5 weeks time I am getting married in Rarotonga. After reading on BR earlier, "What were they thinking? Is this the worst idea ever" - it made me think about who will be doing my makeup for the big day and what they'll use. We are staying at an amazing Resort and amongst other things, our Wedding Planner has organised Hair/Make up for everyone. I am a little nervous now, not knowing what to expect when having someone apply my make up. I will be asking questions now but any advice on what is acceptable practise or what to expect - ie: clean tools etc..?? Many thanks :-) x
Congratulations! You'll have a wonderful time.
My suggestion is to have a trial done before the day so you can see how you will expect to look before your big day. That way you can let her know what you like/dislike, changes you think you could have her make and see how your skin reacts to everything.

Some make-up artists use a new, clean set of brushes for each client, some use one set (as it saves time) but clean the brushes with an anti-bacterial / disinfectant alcohol-based spray-on brush cleaner between persons. Both ways is acceptable, just make sure that if one set of brushes is being used that they are cleaned between each person, and that lipsticks are wiped on a tissue (if she/he is not using a palette knife to scrape a small amount off the bullet before applying with a lip brush, which they should be doing in the first place, and not applying straight from the tube). Disposable mascara wands should be used on each person, with no double-dipping into the tube, if the artist needs more, she should be getting a clean disposable wand to dip into the tube and the used one should be thrown away. Eyeliners and lip liners need to be sharpened after each use, and this should be done when she’s / he’s cleaning brushes between each person’s make-up application.
Usually, a metal or plastic palette knife is used to pick up a small amount of cream or liquid product (eg foundation, concealer, etc) before applying it to someone’s skin, so that the product in the main tub, tube, stick, or bullet never comes into direct contact with a client’s skin, eliminating the risk of contamination.
However, If you’re worried about any if this, you should be able to ask the make-up artist what they do or how they sanitise everything. If you still don’t like the idea of “sharing” make-up, take your own eyeliner pencils (brown, black and white) or liquid eyeliner, favourite lipstick shade, matching lip liner and mascara (preferably waterproof for a wedding, in black) with you and ask them to use those items on you when they’re doing your make-up. It shouldn’t be a problem, but they will have to create the rest of your look with their products and you’ll need the lipstick later for touch-ups later in the day.
Also ask the wedding planner for the make-up artists name, so you can Google them, find a website or social media page and see what their previous work looks like, and if anyone left reviews.
I hope this answers the queries you had in mind.
