I have done my own makeup before when I was a BM, for my wedding day I think one of my BMs might do mine. I've heard MAC is very good and lasts a long time. You'll def want to wear a spot concealer, foundation, powder, and maybe bronzer too. I would suggest going to the MAC counter at Macys or something and have them do your makeup, tell them its for your wedding and what look you want to go for. You could also go for a makeup lesson where they teach you how to get the look you want. Good luck!!

I did my own make-up and used mostly MAC products. I used Estee Lauder mascara and Clinque lipstick. I had to reapply my lipstick throughout the day, but other than that everything looked great the rest of the day, no touch ups needed.

MAC has really good makeup that stays on for a long time. Make sure you set the foundation with powder. Also use a base eyeshadow before you apply the colored ones. It makes a difference.

My other advice is don't use too much shimmery stuff for the day of your wedding. It doesn't look really nice in pictures (JMO).
