Essential Steps to Take Before Hiring a Professional Makeup Artist Near Birmingham for Your Wedding Day

Planning your wedding day involves many important decisions, and choosing the right makeup artist is crucial to ensuring you look and feel your best. If you're searching for a professional makeup artist near Birmingham, follow these essential steps to make the process smoother and more effective.

Research and Recommendations

Start by researching local makeup artists near Birmingham. Look for professionals with strong portfolios and positive reviews. Ask friends, family, or wedding planners for recommendations. Their firsthand experiences can provide valuable insights and help narrow down your options.

Check Qualifications and Experience

Verify the qualifications and experience of potential makeup artists. Ensure they are certified and have experience with bridal makeup. A skilled artist should be adept at creating a look that enhances your natural beauty and lasts throughout your special day.

Review Portfolios and Testimonials

Examine the portfolios of makeup artists to see their previous work. Look for styles that align with your vision. Reading testimonials from past clients can offer a glimpse into their professionalism and ability to deliver satisfying results.

Schedule a Consultation

Arrange a consultation with your shortlisted makeup artists. This meeting allows you to discuss your preferences, test different looks, and evaluate their approach. It's an opportunity to gauge their personality and see if you feel comfortable working with them.

Consider the Makeup Trial

A makeup trial is a crucial step before the wedding day. It helps you see how the makeup artist's work looks in person and ensures you are satisfied with the chosen style. Schedule the trial well in advance to make any necessary adjustments.

Discuss Costs and Contracts

Understand the pricing structure and what is included in the service. Review the contract carefully to ensure it covers all aspects of the makeup services, including the trial, the wedding day application, and any additional charges.

Assess Hygiene and Products

Ensure the makeup artist follows strict hygiene practices and uses high-quality products. This is essential for both the longevity of the makeup and your skin's health. A professional artist should maintain cleanliness and use products suited to your skin type.

Plan for the Wedding Day

Confirm all the details for the wedding day, including the schedule, location, and any specific requirements. Clear communication ensures that the makeup artist can provide the best service and adapt to any changes or needs that arise.

By taking these steps, you'll be well-prepared to hire a professional makeup artist near Birmingham who can help you achieve a flawless look on your wedding day. For more tips and advice on wedding planning, visit our blog regularly.

How To Make Your Wedding Event A Great Success

For all of us our wedding day will be one of the most crucial events of our lives – which is why it isn’t astounding that it also can be one of the most chaotic to organise. Indeed, after unforeseen wedding expenses, outfit dilemmas and floral fracas to content with, it is no surprise some couples fantasize about eloping.

We are here to offer you with a collection of top tips that’ll help make your bridal process a free-flowing one.

Get organized:

Regardless of how small or large the marriage may be, you can never be too organized. Therefore, making a to-do list is an excellent place to commence. Write down as many tasks & ideas that you can think about in a logical order and make a decision when you wish to each task done. This’ll assure you that you’re making great progress when you tick things off.

Sort out the big tasks first:

It goes without saying that the important things to tick off your list first are the budget, guest list, and venues. Once these things sorted out you can relax.

Be flexible with your dates:

If you don’t have a set date in mind this makes it much simpler with your venue search. Most of the venues can be reserved up far in advance, so this will help avoid embarrassment & can also have a considerable effect on the cost as well.

Secure suppliers early on:

It is important to secure your hair/makeup artist, photographer/videographer and caterers as quickly as feasible to avoid last-minute embarrassment. They usually get bookings well in advance so you’ll have to consider this quite early.

Use dependable & recommended suppliers:

Choosing the appropriate suppliers for you can be time-taking but doing your research is critical. Spend time checking out their portfolio of work & if you can set a meeting that is even better because you can study them better. Above all, you’ve to feel comfortable, confident and happy with your suppliers.

Hire a wedding planner:

Wedding planning is a pretty time taking process & something that couples usually overlook. Professional wedding planners work with you to eliminate the stress, while you get involved in as much or as little as you like.  They eventually create an unforgettable and incredible day for you using their experience and expertise.

Welcvome to Sonias;s Henna services

I offer Henna Beauty Services that are personalised to create stunning designs that will compliment you and your overall look. The Henna packages I offer are tailored to your individual requirements, which can be discussed when you book your one to one free consultation. This gives you, as well as me the time to discuss your ideas and my professional input to create your unique custom-designed Henna.

Once the package has been chosen, you then go onto book a trial. The trial offers you the chance to sample a part of your chosen design so you can see it come to life, which in turn gives you total confidence in me. This will also incorporate your patch test, which is an essential part of the trial as it will determine any skin reactions you may have. However, I must stress this is very rare, as I use 100% pure and natural Henna.

I also use glitter gels and Swarovski crystals to accessorise your Henna design to give it that glamorous touch. I especially recommend this if you are having professional photos taken. Alternatively, you can just opt for glitter gel Henna art, which looks just as dazzling whatever your occasion. My custom-designed Henna art is not just limited for the bride and her family, I also cater for engagements; pamper parties; fashion shows; photo shoots; charity events/fairs and exhibitions

WHAT IS HENNA Henna is made from a small flowering shrub called Lawsonia Inermis. The name Henna originates from the Middle East, it is also known as ‘Mehndi’ which is the Hindi name. It is native to Asia and the Mediterranean. Henna is pure and natural used for therapeutic purposes. The plant that it is derived from also has holistic properties. Henna has long been used as a body art and a cosmetic since the times of the Egyptians.

Cosmetically, Henna nourishes, conditions and revitalises the skin and also the hair when used as a hair dye. The scented leaves are the parts of the plant that are used to make the Henna powder. The leaves are dried, which are then grinded into a fine powder. Eucalyptus oil and water are then added to make a smooth paste which is then applied onto the skin.

Henna stain looks like a tattoo except the process is safe and painless, not harmful to the skin and is not permanent. It is a natural dye that stains the skin from an orange to deep red colour. Henna stain can last up to 14 days. The colour intensity of the stain from the Henna depends on the part of the body it is being applied to. Lighter stains will be the product of applying the Henna to areas on the body that have thin skin. Conversely, thicker areas of skin will yield a darker Henna stain. Many cultures practice the art of Henna. It was and still is primarily practised to decorate the hands and feet of a bride for her wedding day. In the western world, it is fast becoming a fashion accessory, a fashion statement. It is no longer simply a tradition for the bride and her family. Henna now extends from this culturally revered application, to the one that I now endeavour to offer to anyone who is interested.

Professional Practice Module

For this 30 credit module, 70% is individual work placement and 30% is a co-lab external project. I had to do some research into looking for work placement and deciding which field to go into. After research, I decided to email theatres, interior designers and makeup artists as I think that these fields are the most relevant to what I wish my future to be. I got in touch with multiple theatres, both local to Birmingham and my home. After contacting multiple places via email, it became apparent that phone calls were much easier and more efficient way to get in touch with people as it cut out the waiting. Even if the answer was a no, it sped up the process massively. The only problem being with calling so many places I did not document them. I did have the advantage of having 2 areas that I could search for, as I could look at either Birmingham or Nottingham as I would be able to stay wherever I was offered a place. This opened up a lot more places in which I could look. Due to spending a lot more of my time in Nottingham I know the area much better and know more places in which I will be able to get in touch with.

Unfortunately, none were able to offer any placement due to not having any openings for work experience. Many of the theatres were unable to due to there not being any public shows coming up and a lot being private hire in which they are not permitted to hire out people. 

After consideration on where to look next, I thought about who I know as I am aware that it is important who you know and ways in which you can find contacts more easily. I have a family friend, I know she works in the window displaying field. So I got in touch with her to see if she knew anyone that would be willing to help out, she got back to me telling me that she works at John Lewis on the Visual Merchandising team. She provided me with information on who to get in touch with in order to organise some work experience with the team. After being in contact, I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to work for a week with the team (week commencing 5th February 2018).

I contacted a local theatre at home, which did call me back. However, they were not able to offer me placement during this time. But have given me work experience to do in the summer. My job for this will be working alongside a low budget theatre production. I will be in charge of creating a stage set that will suit the entire play. I will be looking for costumes that suit the different roles and if needed I will be altering these. 

I decided that I would also like to have some experience in interior design. I was aware of an interior designer local to my home, so decided to get in touch by calling the shop. They were very willing and happy to help out and the owner and I were in touch, both email and telephone calls. 

I contacted many interior designers in Birmingham, both email and phonecall. However, they were either unable to provide me with experience or did not reply. 

I got in touch on phone call with a wedding makeup artist, who was not able to offer me experience during the time of this module. However, she asked that we meet and gave me the opportunity over summer to go along with her to the test makeup day and also the actual day of the wedding. This is a great opportunity and will be getting back in touch with her closer to the time to meet and work with her. 

I have attached images of emails I had sent to places asking about work experience. However, I did call most places as I found that this was the quickest way to get hold of people. Not many people responded, but if they did it was to say that they were not able to offer any experience. 

Some of the places in which I tried calling:

Create Theatre Mansfield (theatre at a college) Mansfield Palace Theatre Theatre Royal, Nottingham Nottingham Playhouse Lace Market Theatre Birmingham Old Rep Theatre Birmingham Crescent Theatre Birmingham Old Joint Stock Theatre Birmingham Repertory Theatre Mansfield Humble Art Co Mansfield Atmospheric Designs  Mansfield Interior Designs Bureau Bliss Bridal Makeup  I thought about maybe looking for a teaching assistant opportunity, I was about to get in touch with some local schools. However, John Lewis and Christy Interiors had already got back to me and I decided that these would be more relevant for me than a teaching opportunity as I do not wish to do this in the future.
