Make-up artist help?!?!

Hello LIW Brides,

So I am in the process of trying to look for a Make-up artist and hair stylist for me and my BM, however we are all African American and I am having trouble finding someone who is used to doing make up on someone with my skin tone.

Anyone have any recommendations??

thanks!

All I can tell u is I have a trial with fire monkey and perfectly blended makeup by Vivian on Sunday. Idk if they have done African Americans before to give u any good input. But they both have fb check there.....

thanks for those recommendations! I will look into these vendors.

Ok I'm gonna give u all the artist I've encountered from lowest to highest.

Super affordable def the best makeup prices I've seen

Next is Shameika: I really love her work she's in the midrange but I'm leaning towards her plus she's in LI

Next is the highest MUA artist Ive come across she does phenenomenal work though.

I definitely only want MUA who specialize in AA color tones! Hope this helps

I haven't booked anyone for hair yet but this girl in brooklyn does hair and makeup however her hair looks good and lists her prices https://www.styleseat.com/m/#/p/glamourbyshaniqua?sbp2

The artist I plan to book with is Face the Day NY--the owner is African American and has her work on all different skin tones on her webpage.
