You have finally found Mr. Wonderful, your perfect dress, the perfect place you want to walk down the aisle, the look and feel of the bridesmaids standing by your side, your flowers...but did you think about your hair and makeup? Are you going to leave that last detail to chance? It is time to think about hiring a professional bridal hair and makeup artist.

Why should you hire a professional bridal hair makeup artist for your wedding day?

The answer is quite simple, education, experience, knowledge and the stress-free, convenient environment they create. You want every thing to be perfect on your wedding day and so do they. The last thing you need to stress about is making sure your makeup and hair looks just right. Relax; hire a professional bridal hair and makeup artist that will come to you, which puts more time in your already busy schedule. You will save time and energy and its fun! It is very important that your hair and makeup will look as beautiful and relevant in 20 years as it does on the day of your wedding.

A bridal hair and makeup artist knows how to achieve the trendy styles of today without "dating" your photos, creating a perfect memory of your wedding day for you and your family to enjoy for years to come. Bridal hair and makeup artists use professional products and have the knowledge as to which ones will work with your particular hair or skin type. They are trained to create looks that compliment your dress, the theme of the wedding and your personality.

When choosing a makeup artist, make sure you choose one that has specialized training in what is called "Media Makeup". Media Makeup is the knowledge of what the camera (or photograph) will need for color and definition. Bridal Makeup artists understand how makeup will show up with the flash of the camera or under certain lighting conditions. With this education and skill, bridal makeup artists will insure your makeup is never too much or too little and that your wedding photos will be "picture perfect".

Top hair styling tools - achieve a special look

by stephen hall

You will be amazed at the number of options from hair curlers to flat irons and hair crimpers available to you, as never before to achieve that special looks and effects from night out clubbing with your friends to wedding hairstyles. Although it is really confusing when it comes to selection as almost all hair styling tips mention the use of one or another styling aids or hair styling tools. Moreover, product terminology adds extra level of confusion. To make it clear take the example of any hair styling tools that generates heat to change the shape of your hair is termed as hair setter but when it comes to advertising, the term is most frequently applied to various hot rollers.

Therefore, here are some of the top hairs styling tools that are named for their special type of functions. Starting with flat irons that is the biggest craze among the people of this era looks like a clamp, which generates heat to temporarily straighten hair. A very simple device works well on thin sections of your hair through the closed jaws of the iron. Work from close to the roots to the end of your hair and combs your hair after each pass. Pass the iron slowly but steadily over your hair and never pause or leave the iron in one place. Your hair will stay straight and sleek as long as it is dry. These flat irons are also called hair straighteners and come in a variety of configurations and those lined with a ceramic material are of the best and most affordable quality. Take the example of flat irons from GHD and CHI. They are undoubtedly excellent. They also have variable heat settings, a nice feature to help protect the hair from damage.

Like the hair straightener there is another hair styling tools called hair crimpers that are much the same in appearance and are used in much the same way except that the hair is pressed for a few seconds to put waves in instead of taking them out. Unlike the traditional chair dryers in a salon, a blow dryer of todays is used in concert with a brush or comb that allows you to dry and to shape your hair in different directions. There are literally thousands of blow dryers on the market but it is recommended to buy a blow dryer that has variable temperature settings, so that you can control the temperature that is required for your hair. Curling irons is another hair styling tools that not only add shape to your hair but also add volume. Hot rollers are also the choice of many who want their style to stay "set" for longer periods.

There are few points that are found to be common with all the hair styling tools is that avoid using these thermal styling tools on wet hair as this will damage your hair. It is also recommended to always buy that hair styling tool that has variable temperature settings. Avoid using the high setting as much as possible. Hair care products that protect against thermal damage should be used if you blow dry daily. And lastly never compromise with the quality of the product.
