1. Reviews & Testimonials

What are others saying?

When selecting a bridal makeup artist, it's important to consider what others have to say about their experiences. Read reviews and testimonials on Google, Facebook, and the makeup artist's website. Check their Instagram profiles for posts about previous brides, and any comments. This will give you a sense of how satisfied their previous clients are.



Remember: you want to look at both, number of reviews and overall rating. 

Here are some Google reviews for Makeup by Nida & Team.

2. Budget & Pricing

While going for the lowest priced bridal makeup artist is generally not a good plan, you still do need to keep your budget in mind.

First you need to decide how important beauty, makeup, and hair is to you on your big day. Is it important enough that you're willing to pay a premium and choose the best? Are you on a budget, and it's more about finding the best artist you can find within your constraints? Or is it somewhere in the middle?

Regardless, remember, while pricing is important, it's critical to look at the artists work, as well as previous experiences of other clients. 

At Makeup by Nida & Team we offer three different packages, depending on what your preferences are.

There's a lead makeup artist package, where I personally do your makeup, offering the highest level of expertise. There's a senior makeup artist package for those who still want an experienced artist with a strong skill set, but at a slightly lower price point. And there is a junior makeup artist package for those who are more budget conscious, yet want quality service backed by our brand.

All our artists are certified and trained.

3. Trial

While reading up and considering experiences of previous brides will tell you a lot, at the end of the day every situation is unique.

There is no substitute to you getting in the glam chair yourself, and giving the artist a chance to show you what's possible.

A makeup trial is an essential step in choosing the perfect bridal makeup artist for your big day. This is where you discuss your vision, preferences, and any concerns. You test out different looks to find the one that suits you best. A trial will give you a clear idea of the makeup artist's skills, style, and ability to help your vision come true.

Some makeup artists only offer a trial if you're booking for the actual wedding day.

At Makeup by Nida & Team we follow the philosophy that after a trial you should be able to decide whether the artist is a good fit for you. We encourage booking a trial even if you're undecided whether you want to book for the day-of.
