Hello date twin! Okay, not to bum you out, or freak you out for that matter...but I thought I had plenty of time to do this...so I called a whole bunch of makeup people...Mia is booked on our day, so is Jacqueline Nicole, and Oksana. I am using Melinda Makeup. I also called Elena's bridals, she was very nice on the phone, but I already booked Melinda by the time she got back to me. Don't wait any longer, make some calls. Like I said, I thought I had time, but all the makeup artists that get high recommendations on here were already booked.

I actually had the same problem too. sorry...I would def. jump on it. I always thought I would do my makeup and hair trial 2 weeks before the wedding...but...everyone would be booked. I was lucky to get Jacqueline Nicole becuase my date twin's wedding was calle off.

OH NO!! lol. And here I thought I was on top of things! Whats even more difficult is that I am planning my wedding from out of state. Do I need to do a hair and makeup trial before I book them?
LOL....now what am I going to do?! Maybe I could run into macy's in the a.m on my wedding day for a free makeover...hahaha. j/k

LOL...there's a good attitude...

Seriously though...you never know...I'm just saying you may want to start calling around. ...and to answer your question....you don't have to do a hair and makeup trial before you book them.

HAhaha.. thats funny .. Hey you could give that a try.. I don;t know. this was my second trial becuase I wasn't really crazy about everyhting on my first one.. so Me myself being a type A personality - needing everyhting to be just so.. would go on a trial.. but if you feel comfortable booking over the phone.. you can look in my album.. actually I will post you some pics of the work she did on me.. she did exactly what I wanted.. Ok I am having trouble posting them.. I will try later

Our reception is at Brentwood Country Club.

I strongly recommend that you do a trial before you book someone. A friend of mine wasn't going to, and all of my friends and I convinced her to and it was a good thing she did because she hated the way the girl did her makeup.
I was going to do my own makeup too, but I was concerned about it lasting and looking good in pics, so I decided to splurge a little and have my makeup done by someone who does brides. That is they key, because anyone can do a nice makeup job, but you want someone who has done brides before b/c they know how it needs to look. Hope that is helpful...can you schedule a trial during a visit to your family or something?
