When picking vendors for your wedding take into consideration that we are all unique and have our own individual styles. Especially your glam team! Some artists shine best when doing full glam, others excel at that naturally flawless look, and then there’s everything in between! Know what you want and pick an artist whose style matches your preference. My preferred style is soft glam with a lot of color on the face! Gimme all of the blush and bronzer. I like soft blurred lines and some smoke on the eyes. I hardly ever bake and when given the option, I will always opt for a “lit from within” glow.
