This is a question many brides ask, while some don’t even realize it is an option! When booking your wedding makeup artist, you can often add on-site touch-ups as a premium service. Not every artist offers this, but at Makeup By Diana, it’s available so your makeup look fresh all day.
Your wedding day is one of the most emotional days of your life – full of happy tears, hugs and unforgettable moments. But emotions, sweat and weather can affect your makeup. Here’s why hiring your artist for extended coverage is worth it:
Tears and Emotions – Even waterproof makeup can shift after crying. A quick touch-up keeps you photo-ready.
Stress Breakouts – If a surprise pimple appears, fresh coverage ensures smooth, camera-perfect skin.
Sun and Sweat – Outdoor weddings mean sun exposure and perspiration, which can cause makeup to fade or melt.
Kisses, Food and Champagne – Lipstick fades, cake smudges happen and greasy foods (like pasta or pizza) can break down even long-wear formulas.
Key Moments When You’ll Need Touch-Ups
1. After the First Look – Tears of joy? A makeup artist ensures your look stays pristine
2. Post-Ceremony – More tears, hugs and photos mean your makeup may need refreshing
3. During the Reception – Eating, dancing and celebrating can lead to shine, smudges or fading
Why It’s Worth the Investment
Hiring your artist for wedding day touch-ups means peace of mind. You won’t worry about shine, smudges or fading – just enjoy your day knowing a professional is there to keep you looking flawless.
At Makeup By Diana, this service is optional but highly recommended. Since it reserves the artist’s entire day, there is an additional fee, but your confidence and satisfaction are priceless.
Pro Tip: If your artist stays through the reception, offering a meal is a thoughtful gesture. They’ll be working hard to keep you looking perfect.
With on-site touch-ups, you’ll look stunning in every photo and feel your best all day.
