I'm not a huge makeup and hair person (I like it getting fancy, but I'm just lazy in my daily life) so I've been struggling to hire a makeup artist and hair stylist (I've been looking at those who can do both), and it's weird that this is one of the harder vendors for me to decide on.
I narrowed it down to a few that I really loved in terms of styles, versatility, reviews, and price.
I've been sharing all the links and profiles with my MOH to help me decide and we really like these 2-3 HMUAs. Would it be weird to book more than one artist (one to do my bridal look and one to focus on my bridal party and mom)? There's a few factors here that made me consider it:
1) I don't want my bridal party to have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn just to get ready and have makeup and hair done super early. I want to relieve them of some of that stress, so having a MUA just focus on them and not have to rush to get to me seems like it would be nice. One of my bridesmaids was also in a bridal party last year and I remember her lamenting she had to wake up at 6am because she was first on the schedule to get ready.
2) It would save me some money to split up the work between bride and bridal party work.
3) I want to be able to support multiple people; I really love the work of more than one of them and it would be great to be able to book and tip both women.
Thoughts?
