I enjoy speaking to all the ladies on LIW, but just want to see what are some of the African American brides are doing for their weddings. Let's talk about what music we want, what traditions are we incorporating into our ceremonies, reception, just anything!!! Looking forward to hearing from all of you ladies. It's been hard finding infomation talored for African American brides so let's get this going!!!

What do you ladies think of M*I*A. I heard that she does great work......
ive heard great and bad reviews about her she is a lil on the expensive side

Wow, that is kinda pricey....but then again you get what you pay for. I wonder if you book with her whether she does free makeup/hair trials?

I was thnking about doing that also. I didnt know that MAC could come to your home though. If they can, that would be great. I'm really interested in airbrush makeup. I wonder if they do it there at MAC.

I dont think MAC uses airbrush

I have pics in my album of my make up trial with airbrush....the woman is a bit expensive but you get what you pay for.

I didnt wash my face for 3day and it remained flawless (I also wore it to a funeral and cried my eyes out...it did not run!!!!)

It was done by Lilly from Bridalgal
bridalgal.com she is in the city but she will travel to you

Im going to check her out. Your makeup trial was pretty. I know I really want to do airbrush makeup because i heard that it does not rub off or smear.

Thank You
The makeup did not move at all!!!!
Esp with all the crying I knew my face was going to look horrible but I was shocked it didnt!!!!!
It was still flawless and what sold me on her was the fact that my TRIAL lasted, so theres no doubt in my mind that my Wedding Day make up wouldnt!!

Lilly is very nice and she listens to what you want and will try her hardest to make you happy
