Brushed By Syd
A professional makeup artist is definitely someone who listens to what you are looking for.

A professional hairstylist is someone who can get the job done in a timely manner. Someone who can get the job done in a timely manner, someone who can be shown a photo and can replicate the same style in their own way.
How do you create a unique experience for each bride?
Brushed By Syd
A professional makeup artist makes a unique experience by getting to know their bride, knowing what they do for work, where they like to go, their hobbies. You should feel like this is your girlfriend, that you've known her for years and you've had the best experience.

You keep the morning running smoothly on a timely fashion matter and making sure that all of the services are completed at the scheduled time.
How do you take care of the bride leading up to the event day?
Brushed by Syd
Yeah, So preparing for makeup can look anywhere from taking phone calls again, getting to know that bride, taking the time out so they feel comfortable with you

We usually schedule a trial in studio. You come to the studio, you show me your inspo pic and then we adjust and critique every part of the style until you're happy with it.
Do you use products the bride provides?
Brushed By Syd
If you have a Estee Lauder Foundation from 1997, those ingredients have expired and for me to use that product on your wedding day, on a special event, it is not going to hold up to its longevity. And the products that I'm using I don't know if it will perform well with that product. So I do not allow clients to use their own products other than a lip product for that reason.
What is the best tip you can give for a bride?
Blinked to Beauty
So let's say you do have curly hair and it's 98 degrees outside. Anything that we put in your hair with the humidity, it's not going to last. So I sit there with my client, we discuss the style of the dress and what her end goal is as far as hair, and we go from there.
Brushed By Syd
Please hydrate. Please drink water. Please make sure you have a skincare regimen in place. Your makeup is only gonna look as good as the skin beneath it, so if you aren't taking care of your skin, you aren't drinking water, it will show and we can feel it when we are touching your face, whether it be with our hands or the brush.
