Your wedding makeup is an intimate task. It needs to be able to last all day through the endless family photo smiles, the tears from seeing your partner for the first time, and the sweat from running around all day and night. A good makeup artist will leave you feeling comfortable, confident, and long-lasting. We recently worked with LA based makeup artist, Lynn @lynnlmakeup, and had to ask her advice for our brides! Scroll down to read Lynn’s top 3 tips for brides when choosing their own MUA.

1. Check Their Portfolio.

“A MUA’s portfolio is the easiest way to see if his or her makeup style is what you are looking for. (If you are looking for a minimal makeup style, don’t choose an artist who does bold and glam looks.)” - Lynn

2. Details Are Everything.

“Check every detail, from the hygiene & sanitation practices, to the actual details on the face & lashes. A good makeup artist will pay great attention to detail from the very beginning.” - Lynn

3. Don’t Skip The Makeup Trial.

“Some brides will prefer to save time and money on this. But a makeup trial is going to help you envision how you will look and save more time on the wedding day.” - Lynn
