1 week to go and still no makeup artist booked..>HELP

I just went for my hair trial, I am doing it half up half down........very excited for it........

I still however have no makeup artist.. i went for a trial with a mary kay lady and it was nice but i dont think enough things were done for my eyes... I have been trying to contact one artist I was recommended but it has been phone tag for the last week........ I need makeup for me, and one bridemaid, and not too expensive, and i need a trial for myself........ any suggestions....

well I think she can do more then one wedding in a day, depending on what time the weddings are and how many people need to be done.

What about going into one of the department stores? If you are really in a pinch.

where are you located? I know if you have a trial done at one of the makeup counters at Macys, they also do freelancing and might be able to help out

I second the department store idea. I would do it myself if it wasnt for my wedding being a Sunday morning. You can go up to the Clinique counter, they have different looks you can choose.

FM DebsNY - her friend did her make up and I personally thought it came out great. Perhaps she could help you out - and since she isn't in the biz, she may be able to help

just a suggestion

I would go into Nordstroms or Bloomies or one of those department stores and go to your favorite makeup counter-

Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Mac whatever and se who does freelance work.

They can probably do an on the spot trial for free. ( or they may make you buy 3 prducts that they can use on you day of.

Most of those salesgirls/guys prefer to do the freelance stuff on the side.

My makeup girl is amazing but she is in White Plains and requires @ least a bride + 3 others to be booked.

If I were you at this point, I would definetely hit up the department store, more specifically I would go to Estee Lauder. There are always advertisements for estee lauder doing wedding make-up. I would go for a trial to see if you like it.
