Why You Should, And How To Choose The Right Asian Bridal Hair And Makeup Artist For Your Wedding Day

Posted by Tina Prajapat on March 27th, 2023

Many things can go wrong on your wedding day, but if you hire a professional makeup artist, your hair and makeup should not be one of them. Without proper planning in advance, and creating a wedding day schedule, the possibility of things going wrong, is higher than normal, especially if you leave everything until the last minute on your big day. One of the main worries for any bride is her hair and makeup, because your wedding photos will capture exactly how you looked on your wedding day, and it is not something you can change later.

When hiring a professional Asian bridal hair and makeup artist, you also need to keep in mind the time of your wedding. You should set aside around three to four hours for your hair and makeup on your wedding day, and keep in mind that daytime and evening wedding makeup will differ. An evening wedding typically calls for makeup that is darker and more dramatic, whereas a daytime wedding calls for a more understated appearance.

Many brides choose to do their own makeup on their wedding day, and the internet is usually flooded with ideas and tutorials for doing so. However, if you are unfamiliar with the right products and the fundamental makeup techniques that will guarantee you look beautiful and radiant all day long, your wedding day makeup could end in disaster.

The most important question you need to ask yourself before the big day is, who do you trust the most with your hair and makeup on your wedding day? A professional Asian bridal hair and makeup artist, who has years of experience and uses their knowledge and expertise to transform you into a true princess on your wedding day, is the obvious choice - instead of asking a family member or a friend to do your wedding day makeup.

Your choice of hair and makeup artist is very important because your face and hairstyle will be in the spotlight the entire day and, of course, be immortalised in your wedding photos for the rest of your life. Even if you and your best friend or a family member feel you are capable of doing your own hair and makeup, you should understand that a qualified and experienced Asian bridal hair and makeup artist will go above and beyond the basics, to provide you with a stunning, glowing look that will last the entire evening. They view each bride as a canvas that they want to transform into a work of art, which is exactly why makeup artists view their work as art.

You need to carefully weigh all of your options before deciding to save any money by doing your own makeup. If you still prefer to do your own makeup on your wedding day, you may find some tutorials before your wedding day, that are very resourceful. To ensure that you apply your own makeup flawlessly on your wedding day, and make it look like the work of an expert, you may want to consider a few private, one-on-one makeup lessons by a qualified Asian bridal hair and makeup artist.

A hair and makeup trial run is a terrific way to ensure you have chosen the right person, to see if you like their work, and get a sense of what they had in mind for you. It is also the best way to ensure you look like a stunning bride on your wedding day, and not like melted ice cream. Keep in mind that not everyone responds the same to every makeup product and technique. For example, you can only wear certain hairstyles if you have long, thick hair. 

Therefore, it is beneficial to have a trial run and get to know your options and your hair and makeup artist better, so that she is aware of your particular needs. A professional Asian bridal hair and makeup artist will also carefully consider and pay attention to your wedding dress, colour scheme and your personality when applying your makeup.

Finally, it goes without saying that you should feel very comfortable around the person doing your hair and makeup on your wedding day. This is the one day when you do not want to feel uncomfortable in the room as you get ready, so you need to choose your Asian bridal hair and makeup artist very carefully. If you get along well, it will be easy to discuss your needs, propose a few changes, or speak your mind if there is an aspect of your hair and makeup that you do not like.
