Simple vs. Natural

Describing your hair and makeup inspiration can be so tricky. Not to worry! Our team of experienced hair and makeup artists is here to guide you through the process.

We get so many requests from clients asking for “simple makeup “ simples mean plain, uncomplicated, and no difficulty. What we think they mean is “natural” which means to enhance the features you have with a light touch, think glowing skin that you can see, no heavy foundation, concealer, or powder.

Things to keep in mind natural makeup is a technique, although it may seem simple it is not. Your artist has to have extensive knowledge of how to use products to look like skin, how to make sure they last all day, and photograph to perfection. Natural makeup requires a client to really prep and take care of their skin leading up to an event. Get quarterly facials, have a professional set you up with a skincare routine, keep your skin hydrated with plenty of water, have brows shaped, and consider derma planning for added glow.
