When I was a tween I went to this spice-girls themed birthday party where there was all this dress up stuff and they also had a makeup artist. I requested to be “zombie spice” and she said “sorry sweetie idk how to do animals” and then we just looked at each other like 😐 until I was like ok I’ll be baby spice
Anyway have you ever had to turn down/redirect a client lol
I thought this story was going in a different direction 😂 I had a Spice Girl party with four of my friends when I was younger. I was Baby Spice.
So let me clarify that most of my clients want glam makeup; bridal, prom, pageants, boudoir, special events, etc. I have had to redirect brides because the first question I ask them during the “consult” step is how do you wear your makeup? Most is minimal, which is fine. But when they show me inspiration photos and they want to look like an IG baddie, I’m like nope. Not doing that.
On your wedding day do not go completely opposite of how you wear your makeup. Also don’t do IG trends on your wedding day. Ever. It dates your wedding and cheapens it. Your wedding should be timeless.
But my early years, yes, I did do a bride’s makeup exactly how she wanted it, and she then proceeded to tell me it was too much. When I do a wedding a do the wedding party not just the bride. And a lot of time I don’t have the time to completely start from scratch.
So ladies, if you want to go completely opposite on how you wear your makeup, do a trial run!!! Don’t decide the day of your wedding you want red lips, big false lashes, and a sharp winged liner when you have never don’t any of that!
Also please be very clear on what you want to your MUA. And if they are using disposable wands for mascara, lipgloss, etc. or washing/cleansing brushes in between clients RUN!! Makeup should also be sanitized in between!
