I am very anti 'professional make-up person for wedding', HOWEVER my experience with Lou at the Prescriptives counter in the Macy's on 34th has given me a different perspective.
I still won't spend the money for a professional on the big day, BUT Lou gave me a quick makeover and excellent tips. She picked fantastic colors and explained everything as she applied. For kicks I asked her how much she charges normally, and she responded $250 for bride, $100 everyone else.
I personally won't spend that kind of money for makeup application, but for anyone who needs tips, likes Prescriptives, and can get to the 34th street Macys, IMO she really does a good job...
