This is just a wee update to talk about the often overlooked members of your bridal party, which are your teen Bridesmaids. There is often a lot of confusion when Brides book their tweens/teens in for makeup as they realise they want it done, don't really know what is appropraite for them to wear or how it will affect their skin. When having intial conversations with Brides I'll often hear "Bella is 14...she'll want something but not much...I don't think she should be wearing that much, so she won't take long."  Brides worry about their teens looking overly made up but often dont realise that these little ones are on the cusp of adulthood, want to be included and have their own worries about their face like spots, eyebrows etc. Why won't she want much makeup? I wore a full face of makeup at age 11, but hey thats me!  There is also alot of access for teenagers now to the beauty industry, they can often be more knowledgeable than the bride! With youtube, blogging and vlogging and also the fact that they are able to purchase their own makeup, teenagers can often have a makeup kit that rival any good MUA. When you book your younger bridemaids for their makeup, they deserve the same amount of time as the older ones, they shouldn't have less because they are young. Would you need less if you are elderley? Everyone is an individual and everyone has different needs. If you look at the photo below, this lovely youngen is Ruth, who knew all the brands in my kit, took great delight in rifling through it and who I had a great time chatting to and making up. And she looks adorable! I didnt have to do alot of work on the skin but we used the Naked 3 palette from Nars for the eyes and she wanted to use her own Mac Lipstick in Velvet Teddy. Totally lovely and always a pleasure to meet these budding MUAs.
