Wedding Makeup?

[booflebump]

A primer is an essential, with the loose powder get some blotting sheets and it shoud stay even. MAC foundations and Chanel ones are the best i find, worth the price tag because they last a good while!!

Mat Lumiere....drool.....!

I use MAC eyeshadows on nights out and they're great

I always think its worth splashing out on makeup "essentials" anyway, you can feel the difference between a £4 and £40 eyeshadow imo, my favourite is a Dior one, and i got it 2 years ago and ive only just finished it, that works out to barely pence per day if you break it down!!

I'm doing my own, just the usual, moisturiser, tint, powder, bronzer and a little blush finished with neutral eye shadow and mascara .. and lip gloss

I'll do my hair too as I'm just straightening it and clipping a section back

i agree polo_princess! i never scrimp on make up as there is nothing like it!

i love urban decay eyeshadows though i think they might be a bit ott for wedding make up my book of shadows eyeshadow pallette is one of my prized possessions lol... theres videos on youtube how to apply make up and different techniques etc i got a few good tips from it!

I had a professional do my make up adn she used mostly MAC make up. And PP I had smokey eyes and it looked great! x

 

[Arlandria]

Tbh i'm gonna have quite simple make up so i'll probably ask my sister to do it for me and that way i wont be paying a fortune and i'll still feel like i'm having a treat if someone else does it hee hee

 

[chelseaharvey]

Im not sure what i am doing if im going to do my own or have someone do it for me...

My makeup consits of MAC, Clinique, Urban Decay etc so i have a nice range of stuff & can do heavy makeup or very light... I could save myself money here by doing it myself.

I have had a quote from someone for hair & makeup

A lovely lady in MAC did my make-up trial (before I bought stacks of it costing me a bomb!) - However, they have agreed I can come into the store on the morning of the wedding (its down the road from where I'm getting married) - and they will do my make up for me... for FREE!!

I'm having a make up artist do mine but having the trial early June

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I never buy expensive make up because I always chuck my make up bag in the bin after 3mths, I know most last longer but I am funny with germs, it makes me cringe lol.

I am getting mine done professionally but mainly because I want a bit of pampering

My friend is a Virgin vie make up artist, so she's doing mine and all my bridesmaids for nothing and our nails. We are all having spray tans the day before for £10 each. My friend is also a guest at the wedding so she'll be there with touch ups!

I'm going for a english rose look. Pale pinks & soft browns with a a slick of liquid eyeliner, pink cheeks and some lash building mascara- beautiful!!

 

[Missy89]

Im doing mine myself because twice now Ive had it professionally done and Ive ended up taking it all off and starting over! Plus im abit wired about people touching my face lol

I went to "Lush" (bit like bodyshop but soooooo much nicer) and ended up spending £50 on products to make sure I have really clear skin on the wedding, espically as we are going to a festival 2 weeks before and the lack of hot running water allways makes me break out, but Lush products are completly natrual hand made and make you feel soooo nice. Got a few things for the wedding night too they do amazing bath bombs and bubble bombs, massage soaps!

As for make-up I agree with things like foundation I like the expensive stuff but I usally use cheap eye-shadow, for for the wedding I got a nice Dior black, white, silver and grey combo as Im going for a smokey look (Imwearing black and red)

Top tip: Close yours eyes after applying make-up and spray hair spray on your face! I do this when ever I'm going clubbing as you allways end up sweating abit and it stops your foundations rubbing off onto anything- spesh those of you with white dresses!

 

[honeybee2]

it does work doesnt it hairspray- but wont it make your skin shine on the cameras?

Wow that's brilliant!!

Do you think my make-up person would be upset if I asked her to use my own foundation I love the foundation I use (Benefit) and its one of the only ones that looks good and does a great coverage on me but she is my old bodyshop manager so not sure if she will take it funny!

Thats fab! Hope I can find a similar package when my turn comes

Depending on how well our budget is still intact, I will either be getting a professional, or letting my sister do it

I know, i couldn't believe it! The lady is so nice too and very experienced (worked in harvey nics, done no end of bridal shows and 15 yrs of wedding makeup!). She owns a salon which is in Ipswich about 1/2 mile from our venue!
