It’s no secret the day you say “I Do” is one of the most important days in your life. You choose the dress, the venue, the flowers… Another equally important decision is choosing your bridal makeup look, as well as the artist who will be making you even more beautiful for your wedding day.

I attended a Bridal Makeup Master Class at M·A·C Cosmetics, taught by Senior Artist Tiffany Johnston. She was one of the first 12 senior artists at M·A·C Cosmetics and is an experienced and talented makeup whiz.

This course taught the importance of creating the right look for your bridal makeup, the best products to stay put through vows, tears and kisses, as well as creating a timeless makeup look that you can admire in pictures for years to come, without cringing at what your makeup looked like.

When your time comes to select a makeup artist, it is important to be transparent about what you are expecting from them. Make clear who they will be doing makeup on, how they will be getting to your wedding and the wedding look you are longing to create.

Tiffany also suggested the best products to keep you beautiful throughout humidity, laughter, tears, toasts and kisses, of course!
