Why Hire A Makeup/Hair Stylist?

Q. Why would I want to hire a professional makeup artist to do my makeup, when I know how to do my own makeup?

A1. When you are dealing with photos you are working with still photography. For still photography there is special makeup used to give the effect of a flawless photo-finish look that you see displayed in the photos of fashion magazines. Haven’t you ever wondered how the models in those magazines get their makeup to look so perfect? Believe me it is not magic; it is the right products and the right person applying the products.

The ingredients are a lot more concentrated than store brand products, which are mostly watered down. The high concentration of pigments results in more coverage using fewer products, which results in a natural full coverage flawless face.

A2. A professional makeup artist knows how to use shading and contouring to enhance features as well as develop illusions. Creating illusions through the application of makeup will diminish natural flaws and make the dominant features striking. A professional makeup artist knows how to use color balance and color combinations to make the over all picture pop with small details that give significant results

If you are lucky enough to hire a makeup artist that also styles hair (like myself), you will save money and the result of your photos will have you looking your over all best!

Q. My skin is very sensitive and I brake out easily. How do I know I will not have a negative reaction to products I do not have ingredient knowledge about?

A. The products I have in my makeup kit are all hypo-allergenic, made for sensitive skin, and fragrance free. A lot of negative reactions are cause from sensitivity to the fragrance in products. That is why I only use products that have been tested and fragrance free. My products are so gentle that they can be used by anyone, regardless of the skin type.

Q. I cannot afford an additional expense with the photo session already being a big expense, so should I just go ahead with just the shoot and hire a makeup artist for my next shoot?

A. The reason why you are getting the photo session in the first place to display your beauty at its highest level. The quality of the photos taken with your makeup professionally done, are going to triple.itdoes not matter if your purpose for your photo shoot is to pursue modeling/acting, a present to your loved one, or for yourself, your goal is to look your absolute best. The result of your photos will prove that the investment of hiring a professional makeup artist was worth the while!
