i feel as though i HAVE to get my makeup professionally done-but i really think id rather do it myself. is that cheesy? id rather save the money and my mother keeps telling me that i do it wonderfully myself.i dont know....
My sister is doing mine, it does not HAVE TO BE done professionally.
I will be doing my own make up...I def. agree with the saving the money part..I cant see myself paying 100+ dollars on make up for one day. But a lot of girls say that they dont want to deal with doing their own make up..they rather just be pampered that day..it depends..if you feel you can do it then go for it.

just make sure you use stuff that will last all day.....
I've been doing the make-up purchasing becuase my friend is doing my make-up on the big day...
I discovered smashbox primer and make-up.... I've done several test runs with it..... it works WONDERFULLY and lasts all day! (you can get it at sephora...)
Lancome is the best mascara, according to LIW girls![]()
good luck!
I like the way that I do my own makeup, but I figured since it's the one day I am going to be photographed the most, I amy as well have makeup that will stay on and look perfect!
great advice-and im definately going to look into that makeup because thats basically the one thing im worried about with doing my own makeup, is that it may not last as long as i would like to.thanks.
I have an appointment with Lancome for makeup suggestions, but I am really leaning towards doing my own makeup. Since FH & I are paying for everything except our invitations, I really don't want to spend $100 for makeup.
What about Macy's, Bloomingdales, or ulta3.
do whatever will make you happy...i know i was spazzing out getting nervous doing my own makeup for our e-pics..i thought it was so silly, since it was just e-pics... so i am glad someone else will be doing it my wedding day so i can relax and not freak out again...haha
I do my own makeup great as well, always get compliments. I was going to do it myself for the wedding, but then a few people mentioned how nervous I'll be that day and I figured I really shouldn't add to the list of things I have to stress over that day. Plus I want to make sure it lasts. So I ultimately decided to have mine done, but if you think you'll be comfortable enough to do it yourself, go for it! Saving money is always a good thing!
I also do my own makeup and love it, but I wanted to wear some false eyelashes and really do up my eyes for the day. I want the pictures to come out great. I'm just worried about the makeup being too heavy.

its not cheesy at all if you can pull it off yourself then why not?? No one would ever even know the differance if you know what youre doing...i stink at putting on makeup so ill be getting mine done.
