Did you know one of my most commonly booked makeup lessons is with destination wedding brides? As a professional makeup artist specializing in both bridal makeup artistry and customized makeup lessons, this is naturally a favorite of mine!
Top 5 reasons brides prefer to learn how to do their own makeup instead of hiring a local makeup artist.
They have already had their makeup done by a local artist where they’ll be getting married - and it didn’t go well. Unfortunately, this is often the situation. Trends and fashion or beauty styles can vary in different areas around the country or the world.
Many couples do all of their wedding planning with limited to possibly even no prior in-person visits to their destination. Entrusting their wedding day look to someone they’ve never met or worked with can create uneasiness for many brides.
Knowing there will be events before and after their wedding day, brides want to feel confident doing their makeup for all of the wedding-related events and possibly even the honeymoon afterward.
Some brides LOVE makeup and enjoy doing their own. Learning how to do their makeup for their Big Day is something exciting, fun, and meaningful to them.
Other brides may not wear makeup regularly, or they wear very little makeup. They want to feel and look like themselves on their wedding day. Learning to do their makeup is how they best accomplish this.
Top 3 reasons brides choose JKo Beauty for their destination bridal makeup lesson.
I specialize in bridal makeup artistry! As a pro who’s worked with over 1000 brides over many years, I can best prepare my brides-to-be for many other things beyond their makeup application.
As a seasoned professional, I can help design a makeup look that best complements their style, natural features, and overall wedding style and aesthetic.
I have advanced and ongoing training in makeup for myself and teaching others. I have over 25 years of experience teaching makeup and I continue to take classes to learn how to teach others. Just because you’re personally good at doing something doesn’t necessarily mean you are a good teacher. Learning how to teach others is the key!
You don’t have to be a destination wedding bride to also benefit from having a makeup lesson. Below are some of the others who book me for pre-wedding makeup lessons.
Grooms who want to do their own styling and grooming.
Mothers of the bride or groom who prefer to do their own makeup.
Brides who have short engagements sometimes have trouble finding an available makeup artist that matches their style.
Brides who either don’t have a bridal party or want to get ready alone or in a quiet space.
I schedule lessons regularly, both in-person and virtually. These days in-person is the more popular option. For a bridal makeup lesson, I believe a 1:1 makeup lesson is best for advanced learning and the most individualized attention, but I also offer small or large group lessons.
If you or someone you know is interested in a makeup lesson customized to you or their style, needs, preferences, and skill level - please, contact me for more information and availability!
