Celebrity Artist Reveals Bridal Makeup's Unrealistic Demands

Celebrity makeup artist Namrata Soni has shed light on the overwhelming expectations placed upon artists by today's brides. She detailed the arduous process of creating five to six mood boards per outfit, as clients are reluctant to share their personal style. These mood boards, often compiled from heavily filtered social media images, set an unattainable standard.

Soni revealed the common request from brides to achieve a flawless, filtered look, stating, "I can't make you look like this." She confronts clients about their natural skin texture and imperfections, offering instead to create the "amazing version" of themselves. However, some brides dismiss this honest advice, choosing to find another artist.

This trend underscores a significant disconnect between social media's curated beauty standards and the reality of human physiology. The strain on artists and the potential for bride dissatisfaction highlight the critical need for open communication regarding realistic beauty outcomes in the bridal makeup industry.
