“I don’t want to look like a clown.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this from clients during their first consultation. You’d think the first thing anyone does when looking for a makeup artist is to check out their work, right? And if you like what you see, you reach out. But even after my clients have browsed my portfolio, I often hear this same concern when we chat over the phone or discuss their desired look in person. So, let’s break down what “clown makeup” really means and what it absolutely doesn’t mean when you’re in Makeup By Diana’s chair.

Must-Have Makeup Products for Wedding Day Touch-Ups
Let’s be honest: you won’t need your entire makeup kit to maintain your look throughout your wedding day.

However, minor touch-ups are perfectly normal to keep you looking fresh, especially as the day progresses.
After years of working as a makeup artist, I’ve found the best products that work for quick and easy bridal makeup touch-ups. This is my recommended list, so you stay picture-perfect all day long.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at My Latest Bridal Makeup Experience
Today, I want to share a behind-the-scenes look at one of my recent bridal makeup experiences. I first met my bride Tina about a year ago at a wedding open house. After chatting and getting to know each other, she decided to hire Makeup By Diana as her wedding makeup artist. We later met for her bridal trial this summer, where we had a full consultation and settled on a soft look. She didn’t wear much makeup regularly, but she was taking excellent care of her skin. I could tell by how beautifully the makeup applied and how gorgeous her complexion looked. As usual, I documented every product I used so I could recreate the same look on her big day.
