>> there are lot of time we do use nonsmear, but it's a little bit drying. we want to make sure our bride has a lip stick to touch up during the course of the night. after a wheel we're not thinking about that too much. that's why we keep the focus on the eyes. so she doesn't tend to look like she's coming undone. >> is there any problem of being over-made up. a bride wants to look fresh and young. are there any don't when it comes to makeup for a bride. >> this is a fine line, you want to be in context with what you're wearing, you're wearing a more formal gown than you're wearing on an everyday basis. you want to be in context, but you want to be fresh, you're walking around, greeting guests, walking down the aisle to your husband, you want to look fresh and dewy. that's he why i think a lot of people tends towards using a professional on the wedding day. >> how many hours ahead of the wedding should the make-up artist be there getting the bride ready to go. >> it depends on how many people we're going to be doing. normally an hour for the bride and half an hour for each additional person. >> wow. what does it cost in general to have a make-up artist?
