Makeup the day of Poll

I am on the fence with this one. I do my makeup everyday so awesome and it lasts from 6am to 8pm. My friends all told me that they wish they could do it like I do. But I am wondering if I should just bite the bullet and have airbrush done so I don't stress out if something doesn't turn out right.
So what are you all doing?

I would definitely suggest that you get it professionally done on your wedding day.

I am not going professional but I am also not doing it myself.. one of my maid of honors is really great at makeup and she offered to do if for me as one of her gifts to me so that way i dont have to stress but i also dont have to pay!

I would have it professionally done as well. I do my own makeup and love the way I do it, but when it comes to my Wedding Day, the last thing I want to do is anything but have a good time.

I think you should totally do it yourself if you are good at it. Why spend the extra money if you don't have to?

Maybe you should at least go for a trial just to see how it looks and how much you like it. That may help you decide if you should do it yourself or hire someone.

I would go to a trial and see if you like it better. If you do a good job, and love the way you do it - then maybe you feel more comfortable the day of.

I am having it done professionally.
Its one less thing I have to mess with.

Also, I do my make up very well. But having it done professionally, by someone else, gives it a different element and makes it look a little different than how you would have done it.

And you want to look a little different and extra special on your day.

If you can do your own makeup and do if really well, then I say do it your self. With all the money that you are putting out for the wedding if you can save in any area go for it!!!

I am having my makeup done cause the best I can do it apply some mascara and lipgloss (and sometimes i wonder if the child in me applied it )

For the wedding day I would recommend having it done professionally. I definitley will be having a pro do my make-up. Regardless of how well you do it day-to-day, you will need something extra for your photos. My photographer said that he can always tell when a bride does it herself and when it's applied professionally.

I am getting it professionally done.... you can do the touch ups during the day.. but I would have the professional do it.

I'm lucky...my MOH is a make-up artist. So not only will she do my make-up, she'll be with me the whole day for touch ups and moral support.

Re: Makeup the day of Poll

I am having two of my friends apply (and re-apply throughout the day) my makeup.

They are practically experts in this field and I am confident in their ability.

I'd say even knowing your working on a budget.. treat yourself to hair and makeup.. you want to look your utmost best in the pics that you'll be looking at for the rest of your life...

Go for it!! Or if your uncertain, get a trial.. i totally recommend Oksana... then go from there!!
