Honest opinion

Okay, not dont just say the first thing that comes to mind.....

Do i need to wear make-up on my wedding? I dont wear it.... at alll...... i only own mascara and it lasts until well, until is is empty, and i buy what is on sale. I wear it when i run a work meeting or on interviews, but thats that.

Never-ever foundation, lip stuff or blush
Wouldnt know how to attempt eye shadow..

I know it looks nice, but im afraid it wont look like me...

Why don't you at least get a trial, take some pictures with a camera so you can really see yourself and see if you will feel comfortable looking at pics of you with makeup on.

Your pictures last forever, and if you do not like how you look it could be a big problem

I def think you should do a trial!! And be honest with the person who does it!! A lot of times it looks better in the pictures with some color in your skin!

hmm i dont wear much make up either...i dont even own foundation! lol..i wear eyeshadow..lipgloss..and mascara..but not everyday...just somedays when i feel like it...

however, i definitely want more makeup on my wedding day, but im definitely not doing it myself either..

id say..take a picture with no make up---get a trial done and take a picture..see what you like more & which way you feel more comfortable...and if you got natural beauty then let it shine! lol

well, imo, if you are comfortable enough with yourself to not wear makeup everyday..then you must have something going on!

or maybe you can just tell her you want a veryyyyy 'natural look' idk..i say take before and after pics!

Re: Honest opinion

u should go to at least onee trial.. and ask them to do something very basic... u knwo what..dont even go for a trial..

go to a place that charges like 30$ for make up application..dont even tell them you're getting married. once they hear wedding prices get jacked up 500%.

so just go to a salon and get a reg make up applicaiton..tell them u never wear make up and u want something basic. then when u get home take pix.. and to get ur moneys worth.. schedule it when u have somewhere to go at night...

see if u get any compliments. or if any1 notices.

Re: Honest opinion

I think that you def. should get some makeup on only because when you get professional pictures taken you don't want to look washed out, you should always add some color to your face to avoid this. Just because you say the word make-up doesn't mean that it has to be caked on, you could make it look natural but I wouldn't go without at least adding a little something, def. go and get a trial done, whats the worst that could happen? But first take before and after pics!

Re: Honest opinion

I think its fine if you don't wear makeup on your wedding day. This is a day all about you and you should be as comfortable as possible. If you feel like it would bother and not look right since you don't usually wear it, then skip it.

Re: Honest opinion

I don't wear makeup either, but I will do my eyes a few times a week {that's because I get no sleep..lol}

I'm actually scared of foundation and powders and all those things because knock on wood, I have fairly clear skin and I don't want any products breaking me out.

With that being said, I do want a more enhanced look on my wedding day, so I will be getting my makeup done, but for the most part, I still want to look like myself.

I agree with the other girls about getting a trail, and sticking to a natural makeup look, that makes you look and feel like yourself!

Re: Honest opinion

try it out at a trial or a few and see how you feel

Re: Honest opinion

I think if you were to ever wear makeup, your wedding is the one day you would. Like you, I usually just wear some mascara and maybe sometimes some eyeshadow BUT that's it.

Go for a trial, and really express to them how natural you want to look. I am sure you can find someone you'll like.

I agree with just about everyone do a trial and then have someone take your pic before and after of the same day.. The worst case scenario....you wasted a few hours and a few $$ getting makeup done that you can take off right away instead of not doing it and looking at your wedding pics that I'm sure your paying good money for and regretting it. I would definately stress when you go however to tell them you don't usually wear makeup and you want to look Natural.

Re: Honest opinion

i would wear makeup but ask for a more 'natural look'

Re: Honest opinion

I don't wear make up everyday, on special occasions I do. I am planning on going to a few trials and asking them to do the more natural look. Whatever you decide I'm sure you'll be beautiful.

I say do whatever you want. But wearing make up will help you look more polished. If you don't want to have your make up done by someone professional (I hate having it done because every single one I've ever gone to has pounded on the make-up) have one of your bridesmaids who you trust do it for you. I'm not a big make up person either and that's what I did.

When I do wear make up I wear mineral make-up (Bare Escentuals) because it's light and looks really natural. It looked great and my skin looks really even in all of the pictures.

Re: Honest opinion

I think you should def. wear makeup because in pictures it will look so much nicer and plus it is your special day you should look special, I agree with the other girls go for a trial and explain you don't wear a lot of makeup and you want it very natural.
