Whether you’re attending a big event or you’re about to be a bride, the pressure is on to look amazing. And not just amazing, but timeless! Relaxed! Polished in photos! And not like your face ate the blush before you stepped out the door! Makeup artist and beauty educator Nicky Posley is here to help. Not only has he worked with hundreds of brides (as well as celebrities like Serena Williams, Sloane Stephens, and Chrissy Teigen), he’s willing to share the tricks and products he uses to make clients look like themselves but better for big events. Plus, we chat about how to find a wedding makeup artist, bridal-makeup trials, reference photos, the best tools and touch-up products, and more.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show.
