The AUDACITY of this bride...what REALLY happened from a pro makeup artist perspective

[@julieruby]

I wasn't going to make a video about this, but decided that this should be shared by as many people as possible because of all of the issues this situation presents. COMMENT your thoughts below! Do you agree with the bride? Agree with the makeup artist?

[@rubygirl214]

Hi! New subscriber ♥️. It’s so true what you said about personal preference. I started my career in film at 19 years old. My very first mentor was a very well known makeup artist that really took me under her wing and said to me “not everyone will love your work. But if you always do your job to the very best of your ability and be professional, take pride in that” it was something that really stuck with me. Working with actors and creating characters can sometimes lead to them feeling insecure if it’s not a beauty look. I love your channel.

To add to the scandal, she used water to wash off her makeup and then uses a cotton pad aggressively on her face and not a cleansing balm or oil 😬 If this is her routine, her skin will be damaged in no time.

When I saw that TikTok I was SHOCKED. I can't believe someone would go out of their way to post that video 5 MONTHS AFTER their wedding, discrediting the makeup artist and just being such a mean girl. I can't IMAGINE being the mua and seeing one of my clients post a video like that. My heart truly broke for her! The "I can't wait to make a TikTok about this..." is what really got me. I truly think she liked her makeup, but she just wanted an opportunity to go viral and get some clout. Had she not liked her makeup, I feel like she would have said something at her trial AND her wedding day. I think she is just a mean girl and used her own wedding to get content to go viral. SICK

[@jenniferrogerson9338]

As a hair and makeup artist, I absolutely agree with everything you said. You made some awesome points. There is nothing worse than someone not liking their look but not saying anything until after. It gives no time for a makeup artist to fix things.

[@julieruby]

Absolutely!! We just want the best for our brides and their happiness no matter what ❤️

[@jenniferrogerson9338]

@julieruby 🤩🤩

[@GlamByKyliesLife]

As a HMUA myself, I feel so sorry for the artist, she did a beautiful flawless job…. Everything looked perfect, this bride just wanted fame.

[@foreverbellaMua]

I feel that the bride exaggerated and did it for views

[@Void_1984]

Bingo!

[@dorothytenute2710]

I don't think the bride did feel bad. If you are that pressed for time and panicked to redo your makeup yet you've got someone filming it? WTF. You are about to walk down the aisle and you make it a priority to film washing your face and applying makeup? Ugh

[@reshuyadav1537]

She tagged the makeup artist on Instagram and her Instagram is the only thing linked in her bio😭😭everyone knew who the artist and it was so much for not wanting to hurt her when she tagged her and she posted her after 6 months!! It really looked like she did it for clout not caring who she hurts.

[@OneJadePrincess]

I can never thank my wedding day MUA enough. My hair stylist put a big burn across the middle if my cheek with a curling rod. Went to my makeup appointment immediately after. That women was so reaasuring and calm. I don't wear makeup on a daily, let alone weekly basis. I would have had no idea how to fix my face, let alone blend a burn.

[@theredderthebetter1]

I’m only a few minutes in and am wondering why she just had to make a Tik Tok of this.

[@julieruby]

EXACTLY!!!! Not everything should be content...

[@theredderthebetter1]

Lol, I should’ve watched the whole video first. Ughhhhhh. I have done makeup for many brides over the years and this bride is “something else.” I’ve been lucky to have enjoyable, positive experiences with my brides…whew!

[@julieruby]

@ I love that for you! I too have been super fortunate as well. Luckily, these are few and far between situations!

[@Void_1984]

Clout is one hell of a drug!

[@mikagrossmann5370]

It seems like the Makeup Artist did nothing wrong here, and the bride - well, if she didn't like the makeup, there's nothing wrong there. I agree with the makeup artist (I am also an MUA) that sometimes people will tell you they like something but you can tell from the body language etc. that they don't. It's the bride's loss of money and time. BUT what I hate is that it seems nowadays that every time people have a problem with a service they just post it online instead of first trying to solve the issue with the person personally. I completely agree with you - not everything has to be content. I think the bride was too happy to create drama online and will sacrifice the reputation of the MUA (and her own wedding day) to do so.

[@JayMarnii727]

As someone who is starting their Makeup Artist business this year it really opened my eyes that everything is not peaches and cream the way people think. Honestly, I’d just not charge her the remaining payment since she wasn’t happy with my services BUT the bad mouthing? GIRL I’m getting a Lawyer sis 😂💅🏽

[@canelami1285]

Nope, get your money. Some people complain just to get a discount or not pay. Manipulation, That's what a trial is for to make changes, also take pictures of your work

[@bettinaorevil5056]

I would not bash someone that I payed for a service that I had a trial before one of my most important event. I would tell them since day one. It’s mean girlll. I would be embarrassed to post a video😂

[@GiselleRamirez7]

After seeing that video I added a clause stating this situation in my contract BECAUSE I almost had a similar situation 🥲 a bride told me she didn’t like her makeup DAYS afterwards and told me to delete her pics of my IG (she said the makeup was too natural, but when I asked her on her wedding day, what she wanted to change from the trial session , she told me that it felt too heavy?!!?😪 of course I told her that I’m very upset that she didn’t tell me that same day after I repeatedly asked her if she loved everything! I felt so horrible. My thought is that she was too much in a rush to get out of my chair the day of and didn’t feel comfortable enough to tell me the small changes she wanted to do… Unfortunately there will always be those clients who are unhappy with anything you do on them. On the bright side of things, I learned a lot from this experience!

[@Diana_D_Z]

Oooof! I'm so sorry this happened to you 😖, sounds like an awful interaction 😢 I also like to learn not only from my own but also other people's experiences. What kind of clause did you add to your bridal contracts regarding these type of situation? 🤔 In advance, thank you for sharing!

[@julieruby]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you Giselle :( I can't image how that felt in the moment, but I'm sure that you handled it the best that you could at the time like a professional. It's sad when things like this happen, but at least 99.9% of our clients are fantastic!

[@GiselleRamirez7]

@@Diana_D_Z of course! let me share with you what I put! I actually found it through another mua who also wanted to share other muas how to prevent these situations from happening, -If Client or anyone from the party removes or changes their makeup after it has been completed by the Makeup Artist without first communicating their dissatisfaction and allowing the Artist the opportunity to address their concerns, the Artist will not be held reliable or responsible for correcting or fixing the resulting appearance. The Client understands that any modifications made independently may impact the final look and any additional corrections requested afterward will be subject to the artist's availability and may incur additional charges.

[@Diana_D_Z]

@@GiselleRamirez7 brilliant! Thank you very much

[@rubygirl214]

So sorry, love! I know how much that hurts.

[@EloquenceElixir]

It's the brides fault for not saying she didn't like it.

[@valval3756]

I saw her friend post a picture with the bride a few days later calling the ppl that’s are calling them out fans and thanks for the views the bride and her friends don’t care they don’t feel sorry

[@julieruby]

ooooohhhh nooooo.... that's so disappointing ....

[@emilyburch7330]

The bride could also show a photo of what she wants her makeup to look like

[@marytrem9567]

"Oh I can't wait to make a TikTok about this".... As if everything HAS to be on social media. People can't seem to keep things private nowadays!

[@julieruby]

I know it's quite sad!

[@KarolinaS-zt1kl]

I think she is a bully.

[@gabrielacandido2488]

You did a great job looking at both sides, something most people weren't willing to do. Your advice in the end is priceless: don't feel obliged to stay with a make-up artist if you don't like the trial. I hated the trial I did for my wedding and didn't feel it would be productive going over everything I didn't like with the artist. I ended up doing my own makeup and it was the best decision I could have made.

[@julieruby]

Thank you so much!! It is definitely important to look at both sides of every situation. I'm so sorry you did like your makeup trial, but I'm glad it all worked out in the end :)

[@khanhfident]

GIRL, I IMMEDIATELY thought of you when Kiki Chanel posted a video about this recently!!!

[@maud1708]

Half of my brides don’t even know themselves what it is that they would like during the trial🫣🤭

[@julieruby]

Haha that's very true at times!

[@justaluty]

I was waiting your opinion on this topic ❤

[@andreamiles9325]

If you notice she isn't ready, her hair is just bundled up and she's wearing a nightdress. Whereas at the start her hair is done

[@julieruby]

From the looks of it, her hair is styled, but she pushed it all back with the headband she was wearing.

[@natashhay]

i feel bad for the artist , such a negative situation to be in no matter the skill level but i hope she thinks about the positive side , more recognition for her work and hopefully more clientele. i hope she feels better today, thank you for posting this, i highly agree with you. ☺

[@michellenmakeup]

I did my own makeup myself on my wedding day, that was before I even knew how to do eyeshadow but I still loved how I looked on my wedding day

[@Jujudeze22]

I actually loved her bridal make up.

[@julieruby]

Same here! It looked really good on her in my opinion!

[@rubygirl214]

Makeup artist here as well. I’m more in the film world, so I’m used to actresses, and ohhhhh boy, I’ve had some doozies in my chair the past 30 years! (It’s funny… it’s never the super famous ones that are difficult). But I do weddings on occasion for people in production. I understand that it’s their day, and they should be happy, but this MUA was really lovely and in no way came across as one of those artists who get offended when you ask to change things. The bride was happy on her trial, so I don’t know what her deal is. She also had no right to put it all on blast like this. I know I’d be mortified. That’s putting your reputation at serious risk. I’ve worked on set with makeup artists who have done work the actor wasn’t happy with and have asked me to change it and even that feels awkward to me, and I try to steer them into talking to the artist to fix it, that they won’t be offended,… and it’s gone amazingly. It’s all about communication. I’m sorry, but I just can’t see the brides side in this because once she made it so public, I lost all sympathy for her. The artist did everything right. She did a trial, asked if she was happy, got positive feedback.. the bride wanted attention, period. Her friends also sounded like they were just coddling her.

[@julieruby]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It is all about communication in the end.

[@Dyson200]

I’m just not buying it she seems like she did it for attention it’s obvious! She literally says “I can’t wait to make a tiktok about this” while she’s been making it the whole time lol 😂

[@kaylavanniekerk3295]

I did a make up test with an artist for an event coming up I told her I rather want to try something else and she asked me to leave 😅

[@julieruby]

Oh no!! That is not okay in any way. I'm so sorry this happened to you!

[@rubygirl214]

She’s clearly not professional. Too many amazing artists out there.

[@aBLA910]

I’m sorry but as someone who is clearly so picky and such an expert at makeup herself you would think she would have booked a trial or at least made sure to actually check out the artists work beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for BOTH parties. I understand needing to make adjustments (which her friend admitted they had MORE than enough time for) isn’t ideal, but the way she was so panicked and so negative immediately with so much time left doesn’t seem normal or authentic to me….Something about all of this doesn’t sit right. And the way her friends were enabling that just because it was her wedding day was kinda icky to me. Think about it, they offered to KICK THE ARTIST OUT before offering to work things out with the artist for her while she tends to other pre wedding activities, and came back later… You can calm someone down without coddling them and passively agreeing with everything they say…

[@janiebautista23]

Shame on her and how tacky of that bride to post that video and for her to be like “can’t wait to make a TikTok about this… Like, yikes…

[@giuliaspiniello1789]

Honestly, it's disgusting what this girl did. I would never act like that and try to ruin someone else just because I don't agree with their work. But to me is obvious that she just wants to be famous on social, people is really losing their mind with this thing. We do have mouth by the way honey, whatever you do not like of her work you could have just told her. Disgusting. She should be ashamed. But she's probabily too superficial to ever understand that.

[@jessicawilson5908]

She did it for the views, if she genuinely didnt like the make up she should have said something

[@michelles1208]

"She's a Jesus lover" actually checks with all of the Jesus lovers I've met.

[@dakotahjadee]

Can you share the makeup artist’s instagram? Would love to show her some support & a follow!
