Anyone else afraid of their make-up running if they cry?!

We just went through the music for the wedding on Saturday and I started to CRY! What am I going to do for the wedding? I don't want to get my makeup done and then have to get it redone afterwards. Any suggestions on how to avoid 'my face' running down my face?

If you are getting it done prefessionlly it shold be ok. She/he will probabaly use waterproof mascara.

Also, if you do cry, blot with a tissue, don't rub..
If you can have a hankie with you, you can try & get the tears when they start, before they run down your face.

I feel the same way! I cry @ people's weddings that I don't even know!!! I think I'm going to have an EMT on stand-by on that day!

I am with you! I was looking forward to the ceremony and that I might be okay until I heard the tunes...I get a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

The only makeup that is waterproof is mascara?

Supposedly if you go with the new airbrush foundation makeup, that is also waterproof. So if you cry and dab instead of wipe, you'll be okay. My make up artist is also using waterproof eyeliner along with the waterproof mascara!

Maybe you should start making a list of hysterical things that will keep you from crying that day! Although I'm a sucker for weddings like everyone else!
