If you have questions about working with a hair and makeup artist but are unsure who to ask, you’re in luck!
In this episode on the Design Your Wedding Business podcast, we’re talking to makeup artist Anne Timss all about what it’s like for a wedding planner and makeup artist to work together and what that process looks like.
This is part of a series of episodes on the podcast featuring wedding professionals from different areas of the industry who are joining me each week to answer all our questions about how to better educate ourselves and our clients.
In this installment, we’re talking about wedding makeup trends, planning hair and makeup into the wedding day timeline, how to learn your client’s makeup preferences and more!
Anne has been a working makeup artist for over 20 years and she absolutely loves it. She started down her path behind the makeup counter at Nordstrom in Seattle, WA, with Lancôme, as a part-time job while she was at the UW working on her pre-law requirements. Four years later, she traded the idea of law school for MAC Cosmetics and spent the next 10 years moving all over the country to some of the best cities, including Boston, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Her geographical experience made her the artist she is today; she can work with anyone. When she arrived back in Seattle, she worked with NARS Cosmetics until she decided to build her own bridal styling company and she hasn’t looked back since!
Her makeup style is camera-ready but looks like you in person. She specializes in weddings, adventure elopements, and lifestyle commercial work, but she is happy to style you for a fun event or party as well.
