no wayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

I never wear make up... So I think I will most likely go for like 5 million trials.

I didn't but I took a HUGE chance! She was a friend of my mom's and works for MAC, Christain Dior and a few others. Luckly, she did an awesome job.

I think it's pretty risky. While I loved some things about my makeup trial, I didn't like some of the colors or brand of makeup the woman used for other parts of my face. Having a trial allows you to experiment with several colors or looks on a day when you're not rushed for time or stressed out. I wouldn't want to wait until my wedding day to find out how good my makeup artist is, but if she charges a lot for a trial and you're happy with the examples you've seen of her work, then forego the trial.

go for a trial if you can... it also helps with picking out colors that work with your coloring. at the elizabeth arden counter, i picked out what looked like beautiful purple eyeshadow, but on me i looked like a tramp. it would have been scary to have worn that on the big day.

I know of a few on here who didn't have a trial first and they were fine.

but personally, I definitely wanted a trial!!

Yes, I am not having a trial. My best friend is doing my make up and she works for a very reputable make up company. I totally trust her.

I didn't have a trial. I don't live on Long Island, so I was trying to down extra trips whenever I could. I saw a picture of my mom's hairdresser's daughter & all teh hairdressers in the salon vouched for her so I took a chance. She did me, my mother, MIL, aunt/reader & 2 bridesmaids. Everyone looked great.
