There is a way to get it done for free, but not sure if you'll have the time

My friend is a make up artist. She is one of my BM aslo. She is doing my make up.

If you want it done for free go to like Macy's that day and ask them to do it at the counter...lol

My sister does hair and make-up... so she'll be doing my make-up and someone she works with will do my hair. I didn't want to make her work too too much on my wedding day

i wasnt going to bc i like the way i do my makeup but then i was thinking about it and i dont think it will last. . .and sometimes my make up just DOESNT work . ..

then my cousin broke out into hives for her wedding and the m/u artist covered them completely so i decided that i would definitely get it done just in case i break out or something!

If you're thinking of going to a makeup counter at the mall and getting it done, I would talk to someone and set something up before hand. One of my BM's does works at a makeup counter and she is really good, but not all of the girls that do makeup are. Some of them suck!!

aint that the truth...I went one time and they did the worst make up for me. I understand the smokey eyes thing is in and i like it but on me it seriously look horrendous...Another make up artist explained to me that my eye lids are too big and cant be done and thats why it looked bad...Well as a make up artist they should've known this, regardless they put on way too much, all around my eye even on top was a dark grey oh and with a fuschia lip color...Not to mention for my friend they did blue eye shadow and pink lipstick

Oh wow!! I can't even imagine having bad makeup for my wedding day!! I would cry if someone tried to put blue eyeshadow on me!! My friend is very good, but she has never had any professional training. Most of the girls that she works with are really young and they just need a job...they are not pros by any means!!

I hate people touching my face, doing my own, worked as makeup artist for years with Clinique, so am not worried, will get my hair done, though, I have uncooperative hair...

As of right now....I am going to do my own make-up...I have worked for Estee Lauder part-time for 8 yrs. Also...as for going into Macy's and getting your make-up done for free...not all the make-up counters do that. For most companies...the make-up application is free with a 3 product purchase. If it's a regular employee...and not a free-lance make-up artist...they also work on commission...so it's only fair to purchase something since they are taking the time to do your make-up.

i'm not 100% sure...i would like to have it done but don't know if that's in the budget.

I'm doing the same. For my FSIL wedding she gave us a choice to have our make-up done or not. When she told me it was $45 and we had to supply the make-up....I'll do it myself thank you!
