We realize that under normal circumstances, most people apply their own makeup. But considering that this is the biggest day of your life, you need to seriously consider looking for a professional makeup artist who knows special techniques and who will make you look the very best for your big day. Also, hiring a specialist will alleve you of one more responsibility on what is always a busy and hectic day. The problem, of course, with a hire like this is that you need to make sure that you find someone that you are completely comfortable with as well as someone who is professional and very competent. So, how do you go about looking for such a person and what exactly should you be looking for? Well, we are here to help you. The Toledo area has numerous professionals for you to consider. However, we urge you to start acting like a detective in your search. To help you, we have put together a guide below that we are confident will in the end lead you to the professional makeup artist that you deserve for your big day.

First and foremost, you need to start gathering a list of potential makeup artists to serve you on your wedding day. We highly recommend that you start looking through wedding magazines. When you see something you like, make sure you have a notebook handy to jot down the contact name and information. Also, the internet is a really good source for not only finding professionals and their contact information, but also in checking out pictures of makeup jobs. When you find a professional whose work you like, delve deeper into their websites and their background. And don't wait until the last second, you will want to start this search at least 9 months before your wedding date. Keep in mind that depending on the type of skin you have, a professional might have recommendations for you in terms of treatments you might need to undergo to look your best on the day of your wedding. We suggest that as soon as you jot someone down that you take an interest in, contact them immediately and setup a meeting with them. There are some definite things you will want to pay attention to at your meeting. One of the major attributes that you will need to be on the lookout for is an affable and likable personality. Keep in mind that your wedding day can be very hectic and the last thing you need to deal with on that day is a difficult personality. You need someone who is going to be upbeat and who will keep you on track in terms of your day's schedule. Also, make sure that you discuss what kind of their wedding experience they have. You will also want to request references and contact each one to talk to them about how their experience was with your candidate.

Of course, money is going to be part of the equation. And you will want to ask questions about what they charge including whether a deposit is required. Don't try to save too much money when it comes to your professionals because your wedding only comes once in a lifetime. A general starting point for a quality makeup artist is about $500 but keep in mind that it could be much higher depending on how long you want them to stay with you. And one very important question that you do not want to neglect to ask is if it will be the makeup artist you are interviewing who will actually be at your wedding. You don't want any surprises on your big day.

If you have an example of what you would like to see in terms of your makeup application, make sure that you show it to the candidate and find out if it can be replicated on you. If any red flags come up, we recommend that you cross the name off of your list. Weight whether they are a good listener or not. Is this someone you would enjoy working with on your wedding day? And one more thing, during your search always keep in mind that you deserve the best. When you find that perfect candidate, ask for a written contract and make sure both parties sign it. All that is left to do is to look beautiful.
