The enquiry, quote & booking process at Laura-Louise Makeup Artist

2019-06-24 By Laura-Louise Leave a Comment

This blog demystifies the process of making an enquiry, receiving a quote and booking your date with Chester based MUA, Laura-Louise Makeup Artist.

1. Firstly, get in touch with Laura-Louise

Almost every single day, I am being contacted by Brides who are in the midst of wedding planning and looking for a wedding makeup artist.

I’m incredibly lucky to be told by Brides-to-be that they love the makeup looks that I have created on my clients and want me to create their makeup looks for their wedding day.

The majority of email enquiries are 12-18 months ahead of the wedding date and they come via my website handful of Brides choose to telephone me too, which is also lovely. Whatever is most comfortable for you.

Even at this early stage, Brides tell me all about their wedding including the date , the numbers of ladies requiring makeup, the locations for trial and on the day, the timings etc. The more you can tell me at this stage, the more I can tailor your quote to your exact requirements.

I aim to reply to all emails within 24 hours, however often I ping back a reply as soon as I physically can. Please do check your inbox and spam/junk email folder. If you find me in there, simply add me to your “safe senders” list to avoid finding me there again.

Even if I am booked, I will always, always reply, So if you don’t hear from me…drop me another message to ensure that I’ve received the first. It might be that it got lost in the ether.

I turn down many more enquiries than I take because I am already booked. After all there are only 52 Saturdays in every year. That’s the downside of being in this industry. I wish every other day was a Saturday.

2. Then receive your quote via email

All quotes are sent in writing via email. This allows me to adjust and tweak this until you are happy to proceed. Quotes are valid for 7 days.

If you like my work, book me. In my line of work, I do not “pencil dates” in to my diary. The only fair and open way to run my business is to offer a first come first served policy.

3. I want to book you, what happens now?

Just so you know, I have to take a booking fee to secure all bookings, in line with my insurance. No booking fee, no booking.

The booking fee is between £75.00 and £90.00. This fee comes off the package price and all of these details are included on your wedding agreement.

4. I’ve paid my booking fee! What now?

Once you have made your online payment, I shall record this on your wedding agreement and email this back to you for your records. I shall then add your date to my diary and no one is available to book that date.

It is my aim to make all stages of enquiring and booking as simple as possible. It doesn’t need to be complicated.

7 Reasons to book a wedding makeup artist for your big day

2017-03-31 By Laura-Louise Leave a Comment

Your wedding dress has been lovingly chosen and the wedding venue has been booked. The seating plan has been finalised and the menu tasting was fabulous, wedding excitement is building and a Bridesmaids asks the Bride-to-be “who is doing our makeup on the day of the wedding?” The Bride responds…..”Me!” 
For some Brides-to-be, the thought of saving money and putting it towards “something else” is more important, however I’m here to give you 7 reasons why you should invest in a professional wedding makeup artist for your wedding day.

1. You will save money in the long term

It will seem strange when I say this, but choosing the right makeup artist will actually save you money in the long term. “How?” I hear you ask…. Well, by the time you pay for a professional makeup lesson and then buy all of the products that you fell in love with when they created your look, you’ll have almost doubled the entire wedding budget and you’ll probably never use any of it again! However, if you research wedding makeup artists in your area, perhaps visit a wedding fair to meet them and book them for your big day, you will actually save money.

2. YouTube can only teach you so much…

If you are an avid Youtube watcher and love watching Mario contouring the Kardashians, remind yourself that not all makeup skills can be taught via Youtube. Many professional makeup artists have a vast array of skills and experience in application and corrective skills and these skills are invaluable. Makeup artists will attend training courses and invest in their kit all of the time. When there is a room of females all wanting to look their best as your Bridesmaids, all with different skin tones, skin types and desired looks, the makeup artist is the one person to bring all of those looks together, so that they fit your theme and style. These skills come with training, experience and knowledge and a professional makeup artist will bring those skills to your bridal makeup preparations. Don’t get married without one!

3. Set a budget for your makeup artist because it is part of your overall wedding look

With the average UK wedding costing £20,195 (2016 – Perfect Wedding Magazine) , it is possible to build a professional wedding makeup artist into your budget for your wedding day. Take a step back for a moment. If you’re spending a large proportion of the wedding budget on your wedding dress, veil, shoes and hairdresser, it makes sense to find a fabulous makeup artist to make you feel special on your wedding day and style you as you wish. Remember that you work hard to earn your money and you’ve hand selected all of the elements of your day. Your wedding makeup artist should be no different!

4. Surrounding yourself with professionals will give you extra confidence on the day

You didn’t ask your friend to make the necessary adjustments to your wedding dress, nor did you ask your chief Bridesmaid to make your bridal bouquet, did you? So why would you accept their offer to do your bridal makeup? Your cake maker is amazing at making cakes and your wedding co-ordinator has planned and executed many weddings prior to yours and has all the necessary skills and experience to deal with any problems. Wedding makeup is no different. On the day, you could have a breakout, sensitive skin or feeling over-emotional. An experienced makeup artist will have an extensive kit and experience to cope with all eventualities and then some! When you stand in front of the mirror doing your final check before leaving for your ceremony, you will be overjoyed that you chose to have a fabulous MUA to bring all the elements together. Every Bride-to-be deserves a makeup artist to help them look amazing and feel fabulous.

5. Look fabulous on your wedding photographs

Your wedding photographs are the longest lasting memories that you will have from your wedding. Photographs from your big day are the one thing that you can pass down to your children and their children and share for years to come and therefore you want to be looking your best. A professional makeup artist will ensure that your foundation is the right colour, your blush suits your skin tone and everything is blended perfectly so that you can be photographed from all angles and still look flawless. Don’t scrimp at the last moment on the finer details as you could regret this for years to come and have photographic evidence to prove it!

6. When things don’t go to plan

If things don’t go to plan on the morning of the wedding, call on the experience and skills of your makeup artist. They will have a wealth of knowledge and expertise to deal with most eventualities. Having worked in the wedding industry for 13 years, there aren’t many situations that I haven’t seen. Don’t panic! Take a deep breath and ask for help.

7. Sit back and give yourself permission to enjoy your bridal preparations!

“Yeah right!” I hear you shout! But as a woman, I cannot think of anything more special than a fully trained and experienced bridal makeup artist coming to my hotel room to create my chosen wedding make up look before I slip into my beautiful, handmade wedding gown and walk down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams. When I compare that to the stress of trying to glue a stubborn eyelash to my eyelid for the umpteenth time….make booking a makeup artist your priority!

 

I hope this blog post provides 7 reasons why booking a wedding makeup artist for the big day is a great decision. I hope you have a fabulous wedding day when it arrives and enjoy every single minute of being a Bride. Be sure to look back at your reflection in the mirror and tell yourself how beautiful you are!
