Adair's A Family Spa

This guide will hopefully give you some insight on how to seek out not only a hair stylist and nail technician, but also the expertise of a makeup artist and esthetician.

Ask: Your hairstylist, nail tech, and friends who recently married about any makeup artists they would recommend. Your photographer would be one of the best resources because they truly appreciate the value of a good makeup artist. Wedding planners are helpful, too. Last but not least, Bridal Fairs provide an opportunity for you to meet the artist and actually view their work.

Questions: Below is a list of questions to ask when selecting a makeup artist.

•   1Are you trained to do bridal make-up? There is a significant difference between “bridal” makeup and “street” makeup. What are your credentials?
