The Difference A Makeup Artist In CT Can Make On Special Days

By Kerri Stout


When nothing special is going on, doing your own makeup is usually good enough. When there is a special occasion like a wedding when you have to be at your very best, it is best to engage a professional. A makeup artist in CT can make you look dazzling. You will work with them to experiment with different shades and looks and you can pick up a thing or two about choosing makeup and application techniques.

One factor that the artist will consider is your hairstyle so they compliment each other. For example, a formal up-do goes with a fairly strong look while for an outdoor, informal event, a soft natural look such as loose waves and sheer, barely there makeup is best. The artist will also ensure that what you are wearing does not clash with your makeup colors. Timing is also important. Go for a more natural, sheer look for day, saving a stronger, more exotic looks for the evening.

Photos will most likely be taken. For an outdoor event in the sun, choose lighter colors to make the most of the natural light. Indoors, deeper tones will come out well. If lighting will be with fluorescent tubes, the shades should not be too light or the photos may come out with light spots.

Some makeup items that the artist will use are basic. Go out and buy the same items to use to touch up during the event and to use after that. Basics include foundation, concealer and pressed or loose powder that will make your face look flawless. These must be a perfect match with your skin tone for a natural effect.

A rule of thumb when it comes to makeup is to highlight the eyes or lips but never both. Black or other tones of eye shadow that are not best. Choose light shades instead for a sweet, pretty look. Start with a light color as a base and apply over the entire lid. Then apply a second, darker shade on the upper lid working towards the brow. If you want an effect of deep-set eyes, use a third shade that is even darker, applying it only on the crease of the eyelid. Blend well so that there the lines between the different shades are invisible.

Play up your lashes with mascara. The waterproof type that never smudges is best. For a wide-eyed look, use a lash curler to curl the lashes and then apply two or three coats of waterproof mascara. You can also go for top brands of waterproof mascara that do it all including darkening, lengthening and curling your lashes.

If you choose to make the eyes stand out, choose barely there lip color. Go for nude lip look by only applying lip gloss or use a lipstick that is almost the same color as your lips. Start with a lip liner so that color stays within the lip line. Use blush to add a lovely glow. Apply with a round blush brush t the apply of the cheeks then blend upwards towards the temple. If it would be appropriate, use shimmer lotion to bare shoulders or cleavage for a subtle glow.

A makeup artist is a professional at highlighting your best features and downplaying the flaws. They also understand camera lights and angles so they will ensure you look fabulous in photos. One who can come over to your home or event venue would be great. When they are done, you will have the confidence that comes from knowing that you look dazzling.
