Should you get professional hair and makeup done for your photography session?

Did you just book your senior or engagement session and now you’re just trying to decide if you should invest in a professional hair and makeup artist?

I highly recommend getting professional hair and makeup done. If it’s in your budget getting your hair and makeup done will make a drastic difference in the quality of your photos, but will also make you feel your best for your photo session. You are already making an investment so why not make it the best that it can be?!

They are trained professionals

Professional hair and makeup artist are trained to do hair and makeup so that they photograph well. While your hair and makeup may look AMAZING in person, it will look completely different on camera. These professionals are trained to know the difference. They will make sure your makeup looks the best in every light, use colors that compliment your skin, make your eyes POP with false lashes and shadows, and more!

Less Stress

I’m not sure about you, but it seems that when I’m doing my own hair and makeup trying to perfect it for this special occasion, I often feel stressed and mess something up then end up frustrated. So I believe hiring a professional hair and makeup artist is the way to go.

Who doesn’t like to be pampered?

It’s so nice to go get pampered and glammed up for your session. This is a special season of yours and why not make it the best it can be. It helps make you feel like your confident best self while also starting on a good note.

Not in your budget?

If this isn’t in your budget, plan to wear slightly heavier makeup than usual. Including blush and lipstick/gloss that is at least slightly darker than your lip color. I also highly recommend false eyelashes. They can be purchased for very affordable prices at Ulta, CVS or any pharmacy in your area.

If you would like to get glammed up for your session here are a few artist I recommend:
