Asian Makeup/hair Artist in fl

Waihan, on November 24, 2019 at 12:37 PM Posted in Florida Planning 0 13
Hello,


We will be having our wedding in FL around the same time next year. I am looking for someone who specializes in doing makeup/hair for Asians as a number of my bridesmaids and myself are of Asian descent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Where in Florida?

    I would look at vendors websites or Instagram and see if they have any Asian weddings. I would also ask other Asian brides in the area- maybe ask your bridesmaids?

    I am Indian and there are a lot of Indian weddings in Tampa where I'm getting married. I looked on Pinterest and online at other Indian weddings and looked at their vendor lists. This is how I found DJs, decorators, makeup etc that would work for me.

    If you are in Tampa, I am using Femme Akoi, you can check them out.

    Many thanks for the advice, Neeva! I am currently based in SF bay, but originally from Tampa, so I’ll definitely check out Femme Akoi!

    Check out Femme Akoi's Instagram! They have a few examples on there of Asian brides.

    Good luck!

    Hey Waihan! Welcome to the WeddingWire community!!

    I checked out the WeddingWire vendor search for makeup artists in the Tampa area and have linked ones below that include photos of Asian brides. It would definitely be a good place to start your search anyway! I hope it is helpful for you!

    No problem!! I hope that some of them are helpful to you, you might even find your makeup artist somewhere in there!

    Do you have a makeup look in mind that you would like to have on your wedding day?

    Doing some preliminary research now, but probably something natural (we are looking to do a beach wedding)!

    Hi Sinead,


    We are looking to do ceremony on the beach (if the weather permits, but I'd imagine that in Nov/Dec, FL weather is a lot less erratic) and reception indoors. We've been eyeing resorts in the Clearwater Beach area. Which reminds me, what kind of wedding shoes would be ideal for the beach (sorry for going off topic)? Thanks for all your help!

    You could do fancy flip flops, barefoot. I am personally not a beach person, the sand is so nasty to me. I attended a Clearwater Beach wedding, and the sand got in my heels. It was so annoying. Haha, btw, have you found hair and makeup person yet? I am still looking.

    Darn, sorry to hear!

    Yes, I was formally introduced to them thru my planner and she was able to schedule my trial back in Jan. I was only in town for a few days, and so I didn’t have a chance to do trials with multiple H&M artists. I showed my artist H&M looks on Pinterest beforehand, and I was pretty happy about how my trial turned out. I can dm some pictures if helpful.
