meant2be events& vendor crush: artistry by azure

We love ranting and raving about good quality vendors!! Mainly because they do fantastic work and we don't have to babysit them to keep everything running smoothly and on time! One vendor we love to brag about is Azure Schaffer with Artistry by Azure. She is a phenomenal make up artist that is a specialist at transforming our already stunning brides into movie stars!

We asked her to answer some fun questions so you can get the inside scoop on her work and personality!

 What inspired you to start your business?:

My first makeup inspiration came from visiting the MAC counter in high school; it was love at first sight.   While working for MAC I came to the realization that I had a passion for creating unique bridal looks and so naturally my business became more and more wedding focused.  Today about 80% of my business is weddings.

 What is your favorite part of a wedding?:

I love the camaraderie of the girls spending the day together getting ready. Every wedding day is filled with emotion and excitement and I feel so honored to be a part of such a special moment.  I would say my favorite part of being a bridal makeup artist is that "wow" moment when I get to hand the mirror to the bride. Seeing her eyes light up when she realizes the moment she has been waiting for is here because she is now a bride.

What is unique about the service you offer?:

Also being a photographer, I understand the principals of makeup artistry from the perspective of a camera. I know what techniques and products to use in order to look your best in photos.  I am MAC certified and my kit consists of the top beauty products/tools in the industry.  

If a movie was made about your business what would it be called?:

The movie would be called ART FROM THE HEART

  What is your favorite cheesy wedding song?:

Cant help falling in love........

What is your favorite wedding cake flavor?:

 Lemon

What is the best advice you have for a bride in her planning process?: 
Funny you ask.....Heres my list in the order of importance. LOL 

• Every Bride Needs 2 things; a wedding planner and false eyelashes
• Don't get hammered the night before your wedding
• Don't feel like you have to play host at your wedding; your guests are there to celebrate with you and if they see you enjoying yourself, naturally they will enjoy the party.   
• You get what you pay for........ don't look for deal and expect to be wowed. 
• Get your brows professionally done
• Exfoliate your skin
