2nd Time is A Charm

I’ve had a handful of brides come to me for their second consultation after a disastrous trial with another artist. It can be a bit intimidating because we want to make sure whatever it is we do really separates us from the previous artist. After being in the wedding industry for several years, I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter how great the makeup looks. If you don’t listen to what the client wants then that is a reflection of you as an artist. Your artistry will only take you so far . Whether you are working backstage at fashion week, on a private client, or even with art directors on shoot, it all requires the same kind of attention.

Jackie had an experience that led her straight to me.  Her wedding took place in Massachusetts which I couldn’t attend from being booked on another wedding. Instead, we did a trial and I typed up a list of product details for the makeup artist who was working with Jackie on her big day.
