6 Reasons Why You Need a Professional for Your Hair and Makeup
Are you considering DIY hair and makeup for your wedding? As you envision your Key West wedding, we know you want to look and feel your best. This includes a gorgeous dress, stunning hair, and makeup to die for. It also means you want to ooze confidence and royal-like beauty all while looking and feeling like yourself.
It can be easy to think you can do all of this yourself. After all you do apply makeup and do your own hair every day. Who knows the look you are going for better than yourself?
Well, we want to stop you right there and beg you to reconsider doing your own hair and makeup for your wedding. Please. And this truly isn’t just a reason to get you to spend more money. Your wedding (especially in the tropical climate of Key West) is not the place to DIY your hair and makeup.
To help you understand why, we bring you 6 reasons why you need a professional hair and makeup artist for your wedding.
Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Bring in a Professional Hair and Makeup Stylist
They Make Your Look Last
You probably know this but Key West can get hot. Like really hot. And not only hot but it becomes very, very humid too (even in the cool season) and windy. And we all know the effects of hot, humid, and windy weather on your hair and makeup.
On your big day, the last thing you want to worry about is smudged makeup or messy hair. This is where hiring a professional Key West hair and makeup artist becomes important.
A professional stylist understands the unique demands of the weather conditions in Key West and knows how to make your look last the entire day, from the early morning ceremony to the end of your reception night. This isn’t something that someone outside of Key West necessarily knows. They may think they know, but really, until you have worked down here for an extended period, you truly don’t know how to work within the dynamics of the environment.
A Key West hair and makeup artist knows the right products to use to keep your makeup intact, your hair in place, and your entire look glowing and fresh.
Saves You Time and Stress
You’ve probably imagined how your wedding would turn out a couple of times, and let’s be honest, you’d want to have a good time full of celebration and laughter. However, to get the perfect day you’ve envisioned, a lot of effort has to go into planning. And as you already know, planning is more challenging than it looks.
Hiring a professional wedding stylist will ease unnecessary stress and save you time. Instead of worrying about the correct contour, sorting through makeup tutorials, or redoing (and then redoing again) your hair, you can focus on more important details for your wedding.
A professional knows how to work fast and still make you look ravishing. So instead of working on it yourself and rushing your look, take on a professional and rest easy.
Saves You Money
You want to look flawless on your big day, right? Then you know you’ll need to use some high-quality products that are pretty costly. Pharmacy-grade cosmetics will not look as good nor will they last through your entire event (again, humid weather friends).
So, why break the bank buying high-end cosmetics when you can hire a professional who already has them? You already have so much in your budget you don’t need to add more to the sum.
Professional hair and makeup artists have a wide range of products. So, instead of shopping for expensive makeup products you may never use again, look for an experienced pro and let them use theirs on you.
You’ll Get the Best Photographs
Your wedding will probably be the most photographed day of your life. And remember, the photos you take will last a lifetime, so why not trust the hand of a professional to take care of your hair and makeup look?
If you desire a great makeup look on your day, you need to understand that you’ll need a little more makeup than you would typically use (yes, even if you want a natural look, you’ll still need more). And it’s more than just more makeup; it takes the right skill to bring out the ideal look without looking overdone.
Thankfully, a professional wedding stylist knows what works and what doesn’t. They know what needs enhancing and what doesn’t. Since they’ve practiced countless techniques, you can be assured you’ll look fantastic, whether it’s in person or on camera.
With the right stylist, you’ll have a photograph-ready face. So, grab hold of a professional today. And trust me, you will not regret it.
They Know How to Recreate Great Looks
You’ve probably looked at many wedding pics and have an entire Pinterest board with celebrity red carpet looks or gorgeous brides in their moment, and you want the same for yourself.
Well, guess what? Recreating (or, better yet, getting inspired by) looks is literally what hair and makeup artists do on a daily basis.
Instead of enlisting for makeup lessons or getting frustrated about what works better for you, contact a professional, show them the idea or inspiration you had for your wedding look, and let them handle it.
And who knows? They may even give better suggestions and come up with a better-inspired look. Many makeup artists give you a trial run of the look before the wedding, so you can tweak and enhance the look just the way you want it. In the end, you’ll get exactly what you want on your special day.
Helps You Feel Confident On Your Wedding
With a professional in play, you can trust that you will look stunning!
And, of course, beauty equals ample confidence; you can carry on with your day with extra confidence, knowing you look your best. Walking down the aisle will be a breeze, as will greeting your guests or dancing with your partner.
