If you are after some “Real Wedding” inspo, head over to the Yamba Weddings website, they have a real weddings section showcasing the beautiful Yamba area. Here’s a snippet from a recent interview I did with them.

“What do you love so much about being part of someone’s wedding day?

It’s an honour to be asked to be a part of a Brides wedding day. To be trusted to make the Bride look her very best for such a special day. I love the entire vibe of a wedding day. The excitement, the nerves, the flowers, the dresses, the hair, the moment when everything comes together, the squeals, the laughter, the tears, all of it. Each wedding day is different, that’s one of the things I love about my job. A different location, atmosphere and group of girls – no two weddings are the same.”

“Do you think it’s worth doing a trial before the wedding day? Why?

Bridal trials are a great idea for a number of reasons. Firstly, they give you the opportunity to meet your artist. Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists play a huge part on your wedding day; they could potentially be with you for up to 7 hours, so it’s important that you choose someone you are happy to have in your space. It’s also a good opportunity to bounce ideas off your artist if you are unsure of the look you are after. This will save time on the day, and will ensure that you are both on the same page so there are no surprises on your special day. If you are unfamiliar with the artist’s work, it will give you the chance to see if their style is suited to your needs and guarantee that you know exactly what you are going to get. A trial also gives you the chance to see how the makeup is going to hold up over the day as well.”

So I nearly wasn’t going to share this image, or any from this look, because I am FUSSY AF when it comes to my images, if it aint razor sharp focus/impeccable lighting/good tones, it gets canned. I seriously beat myself up over these images, the makeup was spot on, and Em did an absolute stellar job in front of the lens, and I let the whole team down by not taking 2 minutes to ensure the lighting was correct before snapping away. I knew it was harsh afternoon light before I even started, but I was in a hurry to get Em off to her photoshoot and foolishly thought I may have been able to tinker with the exposure in post. It physically pains me that I stuffed up so royally on such an epic look. Moving on…… #empleasecomeback

Look, 2020 was probably the year to talk hygiene, but this is just a quick little post about the difference between hiring a Professionally Trained MUA, and an amateur MUA. The one thing YOUtube videos don’t teach you about makeup is hygiene. I worked with a very talented artist once, but I took one look at her brushes and felt a little cah cah. They looked like that hadn’t actually been cleaned since she brought them, those brushes could have potentially touched a hundred faces without being cleaned or sterilised once. I dunno about you, but I’m good for pink eye thanks.

Clean brushes is one aspect, there are many more aspects that you are taught when you are professionally trained – decanting products, disposable tools, etc #aintnodoubledippin. So don’t be afraid to ask questions about hygiene when booking your MUA.
