If you are a bride planning your wedding, then you’ve probably already been on Instagram pouring over page after page, searching for makeup and hair inspirations. There are so many different styles and makeup artists on social media that it can be overwhelming at times. Well, if you haven’t already looked up Arber Bytgi, then you might want to. The Kosovan make-up artist is well known for making some very amazing transformations on brides-to-be using makeup.
[post_page_title]#1 Red Carpet Ready[/post_page_title]
While some women may prefer the more subtle makeup look, Arber goes for glamorous red-carpet looks. So definitely look into him if smoky eyes, defined brows, and bold lips are your style. Arber's make-up definitely packs a punch of color. It really helps to accentuate this woman's beautiful eyes and lips. You can find him on Instagram and Facebook.

In order to show potential clients just how skilled he is with his make up artistry, he takes before-and-after pictures of his transformations. The before-and-after pictures are always my favorite when sifting through pages of makeup artists' work on social media. And Arber's are quite exceptional.

[post_page_title]#4 He Always Listens To His Clients[/post_page_title]
Of course, Arber is no stranger to the idea that it’s the bride’s big day, so what she wants goes. He understands that his clients all have different preferences and levels of comfort when it comes to makeup. If one of his clients prefers a more natural look, he will do that too.

Arber has said before in interviews, "I got interested in makeup when I was just a child. 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."[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#5 He's Been Making People Over Since Childhood[/post_page_title]
It turns out that his fascination with makeup didn't just happen overnight. "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 taboo if a male works in this industry," he said. "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."

[post_page_title]#6 He Takes The Outfit Into Consideration[/post_page_title]
Arber said of his creative process: "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."

[post_page_title]#11 This Smoky Eye Is To Die For[/post_page_title]
This look is one of my favorites. I love, love, love the very smoky eye. I probably could never execute this one myself, as the cat-eye eyeliner struggle is real for me. But it's so pretty to look at.

[post_page_title]#12 Jewelry Can Add Extra Drama[/post_page_title]
This transformation seems to be a little more subtle than some of the others, probably because the makeup palette used is very neutral in brown shades. But those earrings though. How is she managing? They definitely give the look that very dramatic vibe.

[post_page_title]#13 What Does Her Dress Look Like?[/post_page_title]
This one is one that I really want to know what the dress looks like...unless she's getting married in black? Guess we'll never know. But the hair and makeup are STUNNING. And yes, that could only be expressed with all capital letters.

[post_page_title]#14 Channeling The Kardashians[/post_page_title]
This one is almost very Khloe Kardashian but with red lips. The bride-to-be looks glamorous with a slight retro nod. Very pretty.

[post_page_title]#15 A Subtle Princess[/post_page_title]
This one is another look that almost feels subtle in terms of makeup. But the hair and the tiara give it that glammed up, very dramatic vibe. It's amazing how a little bit of nude lip coloring and some shine can make a person's lips look so full. Who needs lip fillers when you have makeup? She looks like a wedding Bratz doll.

[post_page_title]#16 An Etherial Look[/post_page_title]
This is another one where I wish I knew what the dress looked like. The overall effect of the makeup with the hair and veil, makes me envision a pretty white dress with lace detailing. What do you think she probably wore for her dress? Either way, the hair and makeup look etherial.

[post_page_title]#17 Her Skin Is Transformed[/post_page_title]
What is fascinating about Arber's transformations is how dewy he manages to get the brides' faces to look. This is one of those examples. It's like night and day when you look at the skin. Makes us wonder just how much of a fan of highlighter he might be. Plus the red lips are so fun looking.

[post_page_title]#18 He Nails Every Detail[/post_page_title]
This is another quite dramatic look. The bold lip is so great. The eye makeup is just soft enough to not get overpowered by the lip, but still smoky enough to give a dramatic effect.

[post_page_title]#19 Subtle Glam[/post_page_title]
This one is pretty cool. The eyes seem to have a glittery rim around them. Wish I could do this and be so subtly glam. Me and glitter eye makeup do not mix. It's a hazard.

[post_page_title]#20 Hair Can Frame A Face To Perfection[/post_page_title]
This one is one of my favorite looks. Not necessarily for the makeup, but I just love her veil. Regarding her makeup though, the look is quite nice. The bold lip ties in well with the overall look, and the curls frame her face quite nicely.

[post_page_title]#21 The Power Of Conturing[/post_page_title]
I think this is a great example of how makeup contouring can totally change a face. This bride was obviously very pretty before her transformation, but after it seems like her face - particularly her jawline - seem to be more angular. If only I could contour without looking like an old school drag queen.

[post_page_title]#22 Disney Brought To Life[/post_page_title]
This transformation looks very much like a Disney princess come to life. We can totally picture Elsa in the live-action remake wearing this look. The smoky eyes are absolutely stunning, and the nude lips offset the look perfectly. Plus, that veil headpiece looks like it belongs on royalty.

[post_page_title]#23 A Splash Of Color[/post_page_title]
I like this look because it seems to play with color. Most of what we've seen has been mostly smoky eyes, but this has a hint of magenta to it. It really shows off Arber's range. He can really do it all. A complete wiz when it comes to makeup.

[post_page_title]#24 Transformed - Inside And Out[/post_page_title]
It's also incredible how Arber's makeup can even make brides-to-be look even more excited. This bride in the first picture doesn't that thrilled, possibly because it was an early start. But after getting her makeup done, she's smiling and looking like she can't wait to walk down the aisle. The power of makeup.

[post_page_title]#25 Straight Out Of A Fairytale[/post_page_title]
This is another look that is a very dramatic and looks like it belongs in a fairytale. This bride-to-be is definitely living her best princess fantasy life. And we are definitely loving the combined smoky eye with the gold glittering detail on the corners of her eyes. Arber is a genius.

[post_page_title]#26 What A Headpiece[/post_page_title]
This bride is another bride-to-be that seems to be rocking the Khloe Kardashian look. Unlike the other bride with the bold lip color, this one has nude lips, which makes her look even more like a Kardashian. And the long wavy hair looks very Khloe-esque. I am completely in love with her hairpiece, it's stunning. She's looking very elegant.

[post_page_title]#27 Subtle Transformations Can Be Just As Striking[/post_page_title]
Perhaps one of the most subtle of the transformations, this one doesn't have a huge shock factor. The only thing very dramatic is the eyes. But the look overall is very pretty. It even seems to have made her look younger and give her more of a babyface. What do you think?
