I seem to receiving quite a few requests to do makeovers for newly engaged couples so I thought I would share some useful information for those who are planning an engagement event. The trend right now is to celebrate an engagement with a party or some type of special event. This usually involves a professional photographer with lots of pictures being taken. It's the beginning of your story together and let's face it...it's a very big deal!
The demand to look beautiful and well groomed is just as important for these events as it is for your wedding day. I have found a very popular way to celebrate an engagement is by hiring a professional photographer to take images of you and your partner for albums, newspapers or announcement cards. I’m often hired by people like yourself or through photographers for makeup/hair and male grooming for just these events. Professional photography sittings will usually take a couple of hours and with the right makeup artist, using the correct products and application you and your partner will have stunning images for years to come. It's a great idea and the pictures make great gifts for family and friends.
Another really popular way to celebrate engagements is an engagement party. Whether it be a brunch for 10 or a full blown dinner party with music and flowers, parties are all the rage!
Whatever the event you choose to celebrate your engagement, the one consistent will be someone taking pictures to capture your special moments. Therefore, it’s so important to look and feel your best.
So, how do you ensure you look your best at your engagement event? I’m a big believer in surrounding myself with professionals who know what they’re doing and have a track record to prove it. Your engagement, like your wedding day is a once in a lifetime event so it only makes sense for you to work with professionals who know what they’re doing and who make you feel comfortable and at ease. It makes your life easier and your event will be a guaranteed success and something you can be proud of.
One of those important professionals you want to contact is a professional makeup artist who will work with you to give you exactly the look you want for your event. A pro artist can also teach you the skills of how to apply the look you want or teach you methods that assist you in feeling more confident in applying your own makeup. Some makeup artists, like myself also provide services such as personalized shopping. This is a great idea if you want the right products in the right shades to do the right job! Many of my clients follow up their shopping experience with a makeup lesson and feel completely confident in knowing they have the right tools and skills to create the look they want at any occasion.
