Top & Ople Makeup | Wedding Makeup Artist Interview Thailand

Khun Bill:  It all started from a simple intention—to help my partner with work. Over time, I realized that makeup is not just about beauty, but a profession that can truly create value for others. One thing I’ve always believed in is that being a Makeup Artist deserves recognition in every aspect of society. It is a profession with dignity and pride, no less honorable than any other career.

 

Khun Bill: Smiles. Every smile is a memory. The smiles of the bride and groom on their wedding day are not only their happiness, but also a joy shared with family and friends.

Sometimes, in the future, if there are moments of disagreement, I hope couples look back at their wedding photos. Feelings may soften, because those beautiful memories are still there.

 

 

Khun Bill: I observe many works—both Thai and international. I don’t focus on one specific person. Sometimes I don’t even pay attention to the content itself, but rather the makeup trends, hairstyles, or small details that catch my eye.

If something feels right, I adapt it to fit my own style.

 

Khun Bill: A beautiful bride is when the artist feels she looks beautiful, the bride loves the result, and she feels confident. That’s it.

After finishing the makeup, I always ask if there’s anything she would like to adjust. If she’s happy, we consider it complete—right there on the wedding day.

 

Khun Bill: If I had to describe it, I’d say it’s a bit bold and expressive—always with moments of “oh!” and “wow!”—but still soft and sweet at the core. That softness is my signature line.

 

Khun Bill: 

 

 

Khun Bill: I start with reference images, then apply my own working process.

It’s about a 50–50 balance—50% reference, 50% the artist—meeting halfway to create the most beautiful result.

 

Khun Bill: I usually prepare well before the wedding day, so it rarely happens. But if it does, I focus on solving everything on-site and making it work beautifully.

Techniques & Real Experiences

 

Khun Bill: Achieving facial symmetry—balancing the left and right sides as perfectly as possible.

 

Khun Bill: Using primer, makeup setting spray, and proper skin application techniques tailored to each bride.

 

Khun Bill: I talk, chat, and keep things light. Everyone has their own kind of beauty, so I compliment the bride as I work.

Those little compliments really boost confidence—like a confidence injection, but instead of one shot, it’s a full spray! (laughs)

 

Khun Bill: A look that is elegant, refined, and romantic.

Soft blush tones, a contoured face that looks slim but not dull, natural lips without harsh edges or creasing.

It’s the kind of look that looks beautiful both in photographs and in real life.

 

 

Khun Bill: Korean-style makeup.

 

Khun Bill: Western or bold “glam” styles—they don’t suit everyone.

 

Khun Bill: Today, there are many more options. There are more makeup artists, and each has a distinct style.

But I truly believe every artist wants their bride to look as beautiful as possible.

 

Khun Bill: I don’t focus much on trends. I focus more on timing and algorithms.

Media exposure and distribution play a bigger role in popularity than style itself.

 

Khun Bill: I don’t give fixed recommendations because everyone’s skin is different.

I prefer to assess the bride’s skin on the wedding day and choose or avoid products accordingly.

 

Khun Bill: Being overly influenced by reputation. Good products don’t always have to be expensive—or cheap.

Real customer reviews matter the most.

 

Khun Bill: Yes, ideally about one month before the wedding.

If the style doesn’t feel right, there’s still time to make changes—depending on the bride’s budget.

 

Khun Bill: Caring for her during the ceremony. I stay close like a shadow—touching up, blotting, making sure everything looks perfect.

I also make sure she eats and drinks something, because the wedding day is truly exhausting. And of course, reminding her to keep smiling! (laughs)

 

Khun Bill: This industry and Makeup Artists go hand in hand. Passion and perseverance are essential.

 

Khun Bill: Patience. To never give up on dreams, hopes, and the future—no matter how challenging the journey is.

 

 

Khun Bill: Focus on the artist’s portfolio first, and use client reviews as additional guidance.

 

Khun Bill: Don’t worry at all. This is your day—you should look your absolute best.

Even if you did a somersault, you’d still look beautiful. Focus on your happiness and the guests celebrating with you.

 

Khun Bill: It represents the beginning of a new family.

I hope weddings are seen not just as a business transaction, but as a collective effort—where everyone contributes to something meaningful and beautiful, all connected by genuine emotions.
