Celia Kuchumova, make-up artist, TOP-stylist: "Preserving the individuality of each girl is the most important thing"
I have been working in the wedding industry for 8 years, my journey began in 2010. Since childhood, I have always wanted to change everyone's clothes, comb their hair, it seemed that all girls and women should always be beautiful. “When your hands itch” is my story. I studied at the philology department, and in our group there were only girls and only one Chinese boy who studied Russian with us. We lived together in a hostel, and of course, at all sorts of parties, outings and dates, I proactively and persistently offered my services. Then I did not have so many brushes and luxury cosmetics, and everything that could be found was used: there was a desire, and no obstacles prevented me from creating beauty around me. I enjoyed my work, and most importantly, I liked that I help girls change their image and have a positive impact on their lives.
Bridal fashion is, of course, trendy. For example, two years ago it was fashionable to make high hairstyles with false hair, Greek braids, huge buns almost larger than the bride herself. Now it's all gone, and natural looks are in vogue. I really like this trend: it has a light touch of fashion, but still it's more about youth and cleanliness, a lot of shine, no overloaded makeup, tons of arrows and eyelashes, everything is very restrained, graceful and intelligent. This is, of course, closer to me in spirit. The best thing is when the image does not scream "I painted for three hours to surprise you all." Preserving the individuality of each girl is the most important thing, and it's good that the trends are just like that.
Are you inspired by any of your colleagues or famous makeup artists? Whose work do you like?
If we talk about our colleagues from Russia, then I really like Olya Tomina, how she works with textures. My love for hair is Tonya Pushkareva, she opened the world of light careless hairstyles to me, I adore her work and am always inspired by her. I really like the fashion works of Lena Yasenkova, I like Lena Krygina and her business approach to her industry and to the team. I love so many foreign makeup artists, but I think that masters from Russia are the best in any niche. All our girls are great fellows.
If people come to me for advice, I try to make the image have its own gloss, chic, but at the same time, it is girlishly gentle, I really like it when the bride looks like that. And so girls are different, and I always find an approach to each, to her picture of the world, her usual life, and I understand what she wants, I speak her language. Our whole team is for every bride to feel the most beautiful, and everyone has their own beauty.
Do you have a taboo in wedding makeup?
Yes, of course. I believe that red lips are not makeup for the bride for the formal part. For a wedding party, yes, but they have to fit the concept. Please, dear brides, I want you to hear me through this article: it looks terrible, just a red spot. The bride is a classic image, trends and tendencies change a little here, but in general, light makeup in pastel colors will never go away. The most important thing is that the girl looks like a girl, and not like an adult lady, who already has her fifth marriage behind her. Some kind of purity, innocence must be preserved. In my makeup, I always use warm shades: peach, pink, I do not do a strong correction - only a light shade on the cheekbones and blush. Therefore, for me, it is a taboo to be inappropriate color spots in makeup.
Last November I went on vacation and took only my cosmetic bag on duty with me, because I didn't plan to work. But one bride, seeing that I was in Thailand, wrote to me directly and asked to collect her for the wedding. I did my hairstyle from improvised means: a sponge that turned into a roller under a bun, some invisible ones found in a Thai store. The makeup also turned out very cool, although I had BB cream and one brush with me. But when you're a good-level professional, it's just easier for you to work with good makeup and brushes. And of course, quality materials look completely different. But this incident with the bride proved that I can get out of any situation. If suddenly a suitcase with cosmetics is stolen from me, I will still find a way out and a way to collect the girl so that it does not affect the quality at all.
For some reason, now there are a lot of stylists who have completed some courses, bought some cosmetics and immediately apply for top positions. I am very offended that many people devalue this profession, they do not take it seriously. You cannot, for example, come to a bride in the morning in torn jeans and an old T-shirt, this is just disrespect for yourself, for your work and for this client. It doesn't matter if the bride is going to a hotel or in a one-room apartment outside the Moscow Ring Road, you have no right to come with a dirty head. Everything has its place. Stylists who begin to study should understand, firstly, that they love and know how to loyally accept people, avoid sharp corners, be able to get out of conflict, find a way out. Secondly, they understand that they have talent, taste, the ability to see the perfect picture in their heads. Thirdly, you must understand that this is serious and fully devote your time to the profession, without trying to combine it with other work. You won't be able to sit on two chairs here. And of course, please invest in knowledge and go to good courses and master classes. Yes, it is expensive. I often fly to other countries, and it costs me a lot, but I get the skills that give me growth, and it pays off.
Five years ago I had a very interesting bride who had an Indian style wedding. Instead of a dress, there was a very beautiful red sari, and the groom was wearing a traditional silk dress and a turban. All guests and parents supported the dress code - it was so beautiful, colorful and interesting! And although from afar it looked like a Hare Krishna party with champagne, I really enjoyed this work. Thank you, Lenochka, you were one such bright and unique bride. And I also had my very first bride, in a khaki dress and grinders. Her fiancé was in military uniform and she decided to support him in this way. She also had severe astigmatism, and I, then an inexperienced stylist, was briefly confused and did not know what to do. As a result, we made her a very cool sloppy spikelet and makeup so that astigmatism was not visible at all. I was able to balance this aggressive brutal story and draw it into an interesting image.
Julia Rudakova, head of the wedding agency. We work with Celia quite often, probably a third of all our brides. Girls choose her because she works in completely different styles, but always does her job with perfect quality. Celia is also very open and involved, accompanies the brides throughout the day and is always attentive to the process, correcting the image of not only the bride, but also the mother.
Olga Milton, stylist, founder: "The main focus is on individual work"
How long have you been in the wedding industry? How did you begin your career as a stylist?
My path, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, began with the financial sphere. Only the fact that initially I was not in my own environment prompted me to turn my life in the right direction, finding the profession of my dreams.
I entered the wedding industry at the very beginning, one might say, stood at the origins. It was 2009, a turning point in Russian wedding style. The first notes of American-European culture began to be traced, traditions that have always been very close to me. Wedding agencies appeared, contractors were formed, each responsible for his own business. It was in this holistic team approach that the first concepts and stories began to emerge. I am proud that in just 10 years, out of nothing, all of us, industry workers, have taken and raised it from scratch, having formed a quality proposal. At least now there is a choice for every taste, but before it was not.
With my own eyes I observe the organization in other countries, and how they work and create in Russia is aerobatics. We have the most talented, responsible and tough guys. This is not bravado and exaggeration, this is a fact confirmed by experience. One of the reasons why I am invited abroad is simply that you simply cannot find a good specialist there for a reasonable price.
Wedding fashion is considered the most conservative. Is she subject to trends? What has changed in recent years in the images and wishes of brides?
Wedding style is developing along with other spheres. Very close to fashion: by tracking the shows during fashion weeks, looking through the collections of designers, I constantly see this influence. A model with a low textured and careless tail walked the runway at the show - not even a month passes before the trend is picked up by a wave in wedding looks. Here's a movie released or a new season of a mainstream series launched, and what do we see? Immediate impact. Several years ago, after the release of Viking, I myself added medieval notes to my hairstyles in the form of intricate weaves and plaits. Here it is, the indirect influence of external factors. An integral part of a stylist's work is to feel the flow, catch all the trends, but at the same time remain yourself and not lose your signature style. This is the most important thing in my opinion.
In Russia, the general level of stylists is high. I cannot single out specific names, but I am extremely pleased to open the Internet and see what I see from others now. We are what we create. In the works of other stylists, the personality of a specialist is deciphered first. Everyone is very different, with their own taste and vision, which is why they are more interesting. Several times I attended one-time master classes and understood that the group was discussing someone, they called some names, but I don't know anyone. I just have no time to look around, and perhaps that is why my images are more original.
What advice would you give to a bride who doesn't know which look to choose for a wedding?
In my work, it is important to be able to offer, charge, lead, morally enrich, give a piece of myself. Even before the first real meeting, I am aware of the bride's affairs, in constant dialogue and always there. Usually we exchange news, pictures for inspiration and outline an approximate vector of what we like. The best result has always been obtained with this approach. Ideas are born one after another, and we cannot be stopped at rehearsals. The cases when the bride came to me and did not know what she wanted, I can’t even remember. This simply does not exist, since everyone knows in advance what to expect after viewing the works.
You have your own recognizable style of work: the images that you create for your brides are light and natural. Did you come to it right away or is it the result of long experiments?
I will share a story about learning. I completed the classical academic course in the direction of "Wedding stylistics" in one of the oldest Moscow hairdressing schools and after each lesson I left with mixed feelings. I clearly saw that the female models who came to the image left the institution in a less attractive form than they had arrived at the very beginning. It should be noted that this was the first and last training in my life.
Probably, thanks to my character and perseverance, I was not disappointed in the profession, but only got excited. How so? Hairstyle and makeup are perfect, so technical that you can't find fault, but why don't I like it myself? Here it is, an ideal elongated shape with a gradient, a smoother arrow ... and I look at a girl, and I only want one thing: wash her, apply just one shadow, make a radiant skin, a slight blush ... disassemble a hairstyle, pull out the falling strands from the right places - and already completely another thing! From that moment on, I realized that I would only go from my own.
To this day, I try on each created image and run it through my own filter - this is my approach. My concept. I always strive to emphasize the natural beauty of the girl, so that everything looks as if the person did it himself, but still the hand of a professional was visible and the details and shape were read. It is important that the created hairstyle or makeup is not the main accents. So that the bride does not hear words about how beautiful her hair is, but about how beautiful she herself is.
How long before the wedding date should a bride start choosing a makeup artist? Where and how best to look so as not to make a mistake in the choice?
It all depends on the date of the wedding, and this fact cannot be ignored. If we are talking about the high summer season, the sooner the better. It is important not to miss that range of time, so that in the end you do not have to make a choice from what is left, and not from what is close and like. This applies to the selection of all contractors in general. The longest period when they contacted me was 11 months before the wedding. On average, this is 2-3 months in advance. If the request is in the very season for a month, then, as a rule, all possible dates are already taken.
Where to look? In the early years, I just posted information on themed wedding sites. They found me there, looked at my site, worked on it. Nowadays, mostly brides come by recommendation and from wedding agencies, which, in general, can also be considered “by recommendation”. It seems to me that you need to pay attention to three factors: do you like the images of the stylist? Is everything clear on the site or in the description of the work, is there no "water"? And the last - how quickly and clearly, and also kindly the stylist reacts to the request and conducts correspondence.
There is a well-known phrase: "A real master can play a symphony even on a stool, but playing on a stool will never become a master." Do you agree with this? How important are expensive and high-quality materials in your work?
Yes and no. The contents of my work case have been melting over the years. I look at my work and understand that all the hairstyles are created with a single comb for 40 rubles, and 6 years ago I had a whole pencil case of different colors and diameters of the same combs. Through testing, research and active work, I have built myself a good foundation of tools, removing all unnecessary things.
But the downside is the specificity of the beauty world. You can't stop here. I am still experimenting, mining and trying cosmetics all over the world, looking for more and more. New acquisitions are a colossal aesthetic pleasure, a fresh sip, after which you want to run to work, rather apply everything in business. So stop is never, you need to learn new products!
Tell us about the most unusual or memorable image of the bride that you have worked with?
I always remember girls who don't speak Russian. It's just a different culture and traditions, a different understanding of how a bride should look. I once worked at a Chinese wedding. There is a traditional makeup in a rich white and pink tone, this is not at all my style, but now I can do that. Coincidentally, I was working with a Korean bride that same month and was already savvy. Another case when I conducted a two-day master class in the Emirates for local stylists. The first day I worked in my own style: laconic images, naturalness, airy hairstyles. Probably, the stylists did not understand this, and the organizer asked for the second day to increase the intensity of makeup and expressiveness. Black eyes, lush hairstyles. I had to change the program on the fly and then there was a sensation! Everyone was satisfied. The East is a completely different world with its own vision. In the evening of the same day, I was invited to work on the image of the TV presenter: she is British, and it was my usual style that she liked. Of course, such cases are a break in the template for myself and a shake-up, this is stored in my memory.
Artem Korostelev, head of the wedding agency. We work with Olya quite often, 3-4 times per season on average. In our opinion, she is the best at creating delicate images, make-up close to natural. Olya is a high-level professional: all brides are always satisfied with her work, and she can easily find an approach to the most demanding client. In particular, Olya has many qualities that are important for an organizer: clarity and structure in work, adherence to timing and maximum customer focus.
Irina Mitroshkina, stylist, founder of a network of salons: "To understand and love people is the main thing that a makeup artist should have"
How long have you been in the wedding industry? How did you begin your career as a stylist?
I started to paint brides and make money on it even when I was in school! Despite my young age, older friends, sisters, aunts, and brides among them were many. You can say I started from school.
Wedding fashion is considered the most conservative. Is she subject to trends?
Of course, wedding trends are almost as fashion-driven as any other fashion trend.
What has changed in recent years in the images and wishes of brides?
Brides have now become shocking. The image of a classic bride has become so rare that even it is perceived as a kind of shocking. Everyone wants to be different, to be unusual.
Which colleagues' work do you like?
I have a lot of talented colleagues, I can’t single out the work of someone alone, so as not to offend.
How did your salon appear and develop? What kind of people do you take on your team?
My beauty salon Prive7 was founded 8 years ago. I worked as a makeup artist in the MAC corner, and there I had a lot of clients, and then I began to receive my clients at home. After that we opened the first salon, then the second, and after that, together with my partner Suzanna, the most successful, large beauty salon Prive7, which transformed into a network of beauty salons. I take exceptionally talented, ambitious masters who do not want to stay at one stage and want to grow with the team.
I don't like it when there is a lot of everything at once. When there is a lot of makeup, a lot of jewelry, the dress is heavy, the hair is artificial - roughly speaking, when the image is overloaded with details.
Is hair and makeup rehearsal required for the bride? And what about the service of accompanying the stylist during the wedding?
Of course, this is desirable. Although I have a lot of brides who called me right to the wedding. But it's better to try on everything, see everything, make sure that the idea is correct, in order to be calm.
There is a well-known phrase: "A real master can play a symphony even on a stool, but playing on a stool, you will never become a master." Do you agree with this? How important are expensive and high-quality materials in your work?
I believe that great makeup can be done with any makeup. As the saying goes: "The main thing is that the hands grow from that place."
Where to start for a person deciding to become a wedding stylist?
Learn from the best and work very hard. To practice. To understand and love people. This is the main thing that a makeup artist should have.
Tell us about the most unusual or memorable image of the bride that you have worked with?
This bride was Lolita. The wedding took place at the Dolby Theater - the place where the Oscars were awarded. Everything was decorated with millions of living roses, and Lady Gaga sang for the guests ... perhaps this is enough to make this wedding and bride stand out as the most memorable.
Anna Gorodzhaya, head of the wedding agency. Star brides choose Irina Mitroshkina because this is a name, this is a brand, and also a guarantee of a great mood in the morning, because she is a really competent psychologist who relieves stress and improves mood. I myself have been a client of Prive7 and Irina Mitroshkina for many years and recommend only the best for my brides. Her style is a classic, a good, correct classic that emphasizes the dignity of her appearance and hides what the bride herself does not like. I would recommend that you always come to make-up rehearsals, because Ira chooses what is most suitable for the day of the event.
Elena Kandalova, wedding stylist, founder of the studio: "The main task of the stylist is to emphasize the natural beauty of the bride, and not to redraw her face"
How long have you been in the wedding industry?
My path in the world of beauty began back in 2007. The moment of withdrawal from the decree was approaching, but the company could not withstand the pressure of the financial crisis: massive redundancies began, and then completely liquidation. Before that, I held the position of Marketing Director. I didn't want to lower the bar and become an ordinary specialist. And I thought: oh, this is fate! You need to use this chance to change your life radically, test yourself in a new field, make your hobby a profession! I have been fond of cosmetics for a long time and have stored mountains of new products in the beauty industry. Plus, I really enjoyed drawing. Therefore, I decided to learn to be a makeup artist.
I didn't want to go to the media and work with celebrities - a lot of pathos is not for me, in the cinema - it's interesting, but a small child and work on schedule could not make friends in any way. But brides and wedding gatherings have always been associated with positive emotions, euphoria and an intoxicating anticipation of the most cherished moment in the life of every woman. The choice became obvious. I wanted to help ordinary women become a little more beautiful, more confident and happier. After all, every bride's morning begins with a work with a stylist, and her mood and self-awareness for the whole day depends on this ritual!
Wedding fashion is considered the most conservative. Is she subject to trends? What has changed in recent years in the images and wishes of brides?
Fashion is dynamic: changing trends in wedding dresses leads to changes in the images of brides. About 10 years ago, we made curls-curls, smooth bunches and bunches of curls - then it was the pinnacle of style. Then Greek braids became popular. If you look at the structure, the shape of the hairstyles remains the same, but the technique and content have changed. Today, large curls and airy bunches are in fashion, and Greek braids have also become more voluminous and slightly careless.
I can distinguish two main trends. The first - today natural, slightly careless hairstyles are relevant, as if the bride got up, combed her hair herself and went down the aisle. This is dictated by the trends of the fashion industry. The market offers new textures, light wedding dresses without a corset, flying skirts and laces that emphasize the tenderness and trepidation of the moment. The second trend is more graphic - almost architectural hairstyles, buns, Greek braids and tails, made of strands with a brightly highlighted rib texture. You may notice that these are common wedding trends. They are also seen in wedding decor - this is the current fashion.
In makeup, brides prefer an emphasis on an expressive look and, of course, pay attention to durability. Foundation should withstand tears of joy, and lipstick should remain on the lips even after hundreds of kisses with loved ones. But in general, the choice of a wedding image is influenced by the usual brightness of everyday makeup: nude, classic or bright, almost oriental version - depends on the character and temperament of the bride.
Do I need to choose makeup and hairstyle for the dress or is it worth thinking over the whole image from the very beginning?
Make-up and hairstyle should suit, first of all, the person - the bride - and then be consonant alongside and take into account the style of the event itself. But we strive for harmony and believe that every detail is important. Therefore, we carefully think over the image, taking into account all the nuances.
Tell us about your studio. How did it appear, how did you choose the name?
In the past decade, the market for wedding stylists has evolved spontaneously. Word of mouth did not allow regulating the flow of customers, and sometimes there were so many orders that there was not enough time to meet the demand. Many of my colleagues have also encountered this. We helped each other out, recommended, substituted in case of force majeure. They were friends and worked chaotically, until a lot of studios appeared on the market, and the competition did not intensify. We were faced with the question of how to effectively promote: one “sundress” became not enough, aggressive marketing came to the beauty industry.
At that moment, the Moskvichka studio appeared - an association of talented masters of their craft. And since most of our clients were residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, the name was quite logical. And caramel in chocolate from the Babaevsky Combine, which bears a consonant name, has become our signature treat for customers!
What kind of people are you looking for for your team?
At first, only my familiar stylists worked in the studio. In their work, I was sure: for more than one year we worked at shows, weddings and other events, replacing each other if necessary. In addition, we all came out of the same school - Alla Strizh was our teacher. By the way, she also works in our studio and continues to teach, now our students!
Now we only hire those who have completed our wedding stylist training course and passed the qualification exam. The student must independently complete several wedding looks that will meet the quality standard in our studio. When handing over a client to a stylist, we want to be sure of his professionalism and high level of work. Because our customer relationships are usually long-term. We remain friends even after the wedding: we help to get ready for holidays, family celebrations, photo shoots and even teach everyday makeup.
We employ enthusiastic people, fans of their profession, who left economics, accounting, jurisprudence, banking in the past and decided that they could not live without beauty! All stylists constantly improve their skills, undergo training in makeup and hairstyles from colleagues, work at fashion shows and various shootings.
Are there any bridal hair or makeup trends that you don't like? What do you consider obsolete?
It's time to leave behind curls that look like Rolton noodles, as customers themselves call them. Glued, uncombed, no volume and air strands, as well as hairstyles collected on their basis. "Competitive" hairstyles made technically difficult with almost plasticized strands, huge, like a house on the head, also fall under the taboo.
Modern trends are airiness and lightness, naturalness not only in hairstyle, but also in makeup. We do not work with oriental, overly bright images. The main task is to emphasize the natural beauty of the bride, not to redraw her face. This is the general line of the studio, according to which all our stylists work. We love light watercolor makeup, with nuanced splashes of color, translucent textures, pigments - in general, everything that makes the bride's face fresh, radiant and emphasizes the beauty of her eyes!
There is a well-known phrase: "A real master can play a symphony even on a stool, but playing on a stool, you will never become a master." Do you agree with this? How important are expensive and high-quality materials in your work?
Over the years of practice, different things happened. I had to do makeup even with cotton swabs, fingers and one brush on cosmetics that the client had! This is a force majeure of the customer, but we can get out of any situation.
Of course, it is important what tools and on what cosmetics the stylist works. Therefore, our suitcase always contains luxury brands along with professional brands of cosmetics. New items are constantly being released that we try to buy and test, and if the product is worthwhile, we add it to our case! New makeup trends call for new textures and products. After all, we are keeping pace with the times!
What advice would you give to a wedding stylist just starting out?
More practice! Each hairstyle after training needs to be worked out well before offering it to the client. Practice at home on a blank, hone your technique to perfection. Then pamper your friends - they are pleased, it is useful for you. Be sure to work with the models and take quality photos for your portfolio. Only then can you offer the service to your customers!
It's the same with makeup: if there are no test subjects, paint on yourself every day. Girlfriends and novice models will come to the rescue again. And learn constantly - fashion changes, new hairstyles, makeup techniques, innovative products appear. Follow the market, develop and never stop there!
Tell us about the most unusual or memorable image of the bride that you have worked with?
Typically, brides are remembered for their stories, not images. One bride met a guy through social networks when she was still in school, then came to Moscow to study at the institute. He proposed to her in a balloon when they took to the air, and the wedding was outside the city in a tent. A very beautiful and sweet girl. The image also turned out to be very beautiful: on her long hair we made a Greek braid to one side - she had a dress in the Greek style. Then, using her photo, hundreds of clients came to me, and still girls send her photos and ask me to tell them how to do such a hairstyle for graduation.
Natalia Petrova, wedding photographer. I've been working with Lena for 9 or 10 years. She is the first person I recommend to brides, and at my wedding it was she who made me beautiful. Every girl wants to be beautiful, especially at a wedding, and to see it not only in photographs, but also to feel it all day long. When I work with Lena, I see happiness on the bride's face when she looks at herself in the mirror. We worked at a variety of weddings, but Lena's looks have always been very individual and harmonious, not to mention the fact that they last until the end of the evening.
Nadezhda Borisova , wedding stylist, founder of MakeupTrend studio: "Brides want feminine and light looks"
How long have you been in the wedding industry? How did you begin your career as a stylist?
I have been working in the wedding industry since 2011, almost 7 and a half years. My path began with the fact that at the age of 15 I have been collecting cosmetics, painting my friends, combing everyone around. I am a fashion designer by education, and at the institute, when I defended my graduation project, I also dyed, combed, created a complete image, also with a dress included. Without studying this anywhere, I just studied the composition of the costume, the history of the costume, both hairstyles and makeup clearly figured there, that is, I immediately wanted to see the whole image.
Wedding fashion is considered the most conservative. Is she subject to trends? What has changed in recent years in the images and wishes of brides?
I believe that it is very trendy, and this is noticeable in all seven years that I have been working. Among other things, I managed to greatly influence the trends: I am engaged in training, and what is shown and offered is what the clients want later. Brides began to ask for more lightness, airiness, towers on their heads are a thing of the past, and girls want more feminine and light images. European-style hairstyles, make-ups that emphasize the individuality and beauty of each, and not the only "corner". Light smokey is popular now, a lot of radiance on the skin - the more glow the bride has in her makeup, the better.
Are you inspired by any of your colleagues or famous makeup artists?
I like the work of my colleague from Ukraine Vicky Lee. I even brought it to Russia twice with master classes. I can't say that I follow my colleagues in Russia: I respect their work, but I just don't have time to look at them, to be honest.
What kind of people do you take on your team?
Positive, talented, easy people who are on the same wavelength with me. Those who take all my courses (this is about 2 months) and then train with me. My philosophy is that everything is possible, that in the first place is respect for the face and hair of clients. If I see a person from the very beginning that his eyes and similar looks are burning, then I am ready to consider him in my team.
Are there any makeup or hairstyles you don't like? Will you try to dissuade the bride from them?
As a rule, these are colored and very contrasting makeup for brides. I work in a slightly different way, more gentle, classic and natural, with shading into the skin, so that there is no effect of very bright "painted" on the face - makeup is separate from the person. The main thing is to emphasize exactly the dignity of appearance and facial features. Therefore, I really dissuade from very bright and dark makeup for a wedding, and also always dissuade brides from what does not suit them, precisely in individual moments.
There is a well-known phrase: "A real master can play a symphony even on a stool, but playing on a stool, you will never become a master." Do you agree with this? How important are expensive and high-quality materials in your work?
Of course they are very important. First, I am a pure esthete, beauty connoisseur and perfectionist. If we talk about cosmetics, I love expensive and high-quality materials and beautiful packaging - you can't get away from this. The client also perceives this as an aesthetic pleasure. This definitely affects the result: more care components, a high-quality composition that is more beneficial for the skin and hair. All my hair styling is ecological, I use only eco-friendly materials in my work. Of course, you can work with cheap materials, and a real master will also do well, but the very effect of aesthetic pleasure, "magic" for the client is brought only by expensive good materials and tools.

Wedding makeup for any bride is an important aspect of her look. A careful choice of the master will allow the girl to be the most beautiful and incomparable on this day. A beautiful dress, hairstyle and makeup add confidence and strength to your wedding day. Makeup artist for a wedding in Moscow is a convenient service that can be ordered at home.
Gathering the bride takes more than one hour, and going to the salon for hair and makeup on the wedding day is rather inconvenient, because you need to be always ready for the arrival of the groom. Therefore, brides have long practiced ordering a make-up artist at home.
When choosing a good makeup artist, you need to look at his work. The makeup artist must understand that evening and wedding makeup are two different things. It is also important to take into account the wishes of the girl in the make-up. The wedding can be styled in one color, or a specific theme can be chosen, which should be followed throughout. Therefore, the makeup for a wedding in Moscow should also match the overall image of the bride.
The price of the services of wedding makeup artists depends on the complexity of the work. Sometimes make-up artists combine two specialists, and make a girl immediately and her hair. But such a professional choice is a bit unprofitable. On the wedding morning, it is important to get ready quickly, but beautifully. There are only 24 hours in a day, and there is still so much to do, so it is better to start a little earlier, invite two different masters and prepare for the arrival of the chosen one. One professional can hesitate a little with the makeover, which makes a girl nervous and upset.
Each makeup artist should discuss his work with the client. It is advisable to experiment with makeup beforehand. It is important that the make-up is perfect for the chosen outfit and hairstyle. Therefore, it is advisable to try your transformation in one salon. Then both the makeup artist and the hairdresser will be able to work together faster and come up with a beautiful image for the wedding.
You can order makeup for a wedding inexpensively, using the advice of friends and acquaintances, or find promotions or special offers from masters on the Internet for the duration of the wedding season. Such craftsmen can be found at the Wedding Expert. On the site you can find a makeup artist anywhere in Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Thanks to the resource, you can get to a real master and lover of his craft. Also on the site, makeup artists often publish their promotions and special offers that allow girls to become even more beautiful.
Also, a professional should always have everything clean and tidy. A huge number of brushes, cosmetic bags must be cleaned, without any residues of materials. You can see the work of a makeup artist as a result of a test makeup. A professional will always listen to the wishes of the client and work on the make-up until the girl is happy with the result. Inexpensive wedding makeup artists are not at all a sign of ineptness or poor work. Perhaps the work experience is still small, and while the master is working on his authority. In the work of any master, the opinion of all past clients is important. Therefore, the first thing potential clients should pay attention to the column of reviews.
