The wedding day will be joyous, exciting, and emotional. Getting married is the production of a lifetime. Months of planning culminate in one major life-changing, stress-inducing event lasting anywhere from three to ten days. Not only do the wedding functions have to go smoothly and guests be well taken care of, apart from that, the bride is also expected to look fresh and stunning through it all.
So professional makeup artists will take care of the bridal makeup as it is the key component of the bride’s appearance. So Based in Prizren, Kosovo, beauty artist Arber Bytyqi is a man of many traits, and one of them is exactly that; accentuating brides’ facial features.
Arber’s work is very popular among social media; he has reached 262k Instagram followers by frequently uploading pictures of his work. However, he has uploaded the images of before-and-after pics of the brides he worked with and their remarkable transformations.
It’s also worth remembering that every bride is different with their own style and personality. Some love natural makeup, others want the full-on glam, and some brides request alternative bridal looks that are quite rare even on Pinterest. There are rarely rules when it comes to their big day, but throughout history, trends have come and gone. Image credits: arber_bytyqi_mua
“I got interested in makeup when I was just a child,” Arber told Bored Panda. “The first drawings that I did were of eyes, girls or dresses. I used to take my mom’s make-up and play with it when I was only five years old, so I knew that I’ll become a makeup artist pretty early.” Image credits: arber_bytyqi_mua
“When I finished high school, my family didn’t want me to continue my studies in the beauty industry because in our culture it’s considered tabu if a male works in this industry. So, at first, I got a master’s degree in economics and only then did I follow my dream and started working as a makeup artist.” Image credits: arber_bytyqi_mua
“When I meet my client, the first question I ask is what kind of occasion are they getting their makeup done for. I also ask my clients if they have any specific requests. For example, if they want a natural or dramatic look. Then I ask them [to show me] the dress that they are going to wear. The design of the dress and its details reveal the style of the look the client is going for. Then, I analyze their facial features.” Image credits: arber_bytyqi_mua
“We serve more than one thousand brides in a year. The summer, in particular, is a very demanding season for bridal makeup. During this period, I and my team serve as many as 60 or more clients daily.” Image credits: arber_bytyqi_mua

“Makeup is like jewelry for the face,” Arber said to everyone experimenting with makeup. “Play with colors and shapes. Don’t be afraid to transform yourself. At the end of the day, you can just clean it.” Image credits: arber_bytyqi_mua
