counter and let them show you how to do what you want. Then, you can play aroudn
with different colors and combinations to come up with the perfect look. They will
help you with what colors look best and how to apply them. Doing your own makeup
is really the way to go. You know it will be exactly what you want.

would normally wear it, but the photos are the best I've ever had taken. If
you're going to hire one, do a practice session -- you don't want to hire
someone only to find they make you look like a reject from some 1980's hair
band video on you wedding day.

I'd like. I was going to buy new and do my own, but buying the good stuff is so
expensive and I really don't wear makeup all that often so it seemed like a
waste. I found a salon that will do my hair and makeup for $50 so I'm going that
route. (There are no malls/department stores near where we are getting ready
where I could go and get the face done for free.)

I've not liked what I've seen.
I think part of the problem is that I have freckles. People keep trying
to match the skin tone of my neck, and I look like a clown with such
light foundation. I don't wear lots of makeup mormally, and I expected
to wear more during the wedding, but it's just been TOO much. I don't
mind doing it myself, but I'm afraid I'll be such a wreck that I'll end
up looking like Carol Burnett doing the aging silent screen actress bit.
The way to go, I think, is that one of my bm's will be there during the
pratice runs (it would be fun!), and then if I freak out, she'll know
what I want done.

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

the photos were terrific.
You have to make sure that the person will listen to you when you tell her what you
want the effect to be and definately do a trial run.
I don't normally wear more than eyeliner and blush and maybe a little lipstick on
special occasions, so I didn't feel qualified to to a "wedding day look" with
makeup on myself.

>professionally for your wedding day.
I am getting mine done professionally. I will, however, go for as many
practice runs as I need to before the wedding day so I can be happy with the
person, makeup, etc.

called Making Faces (the make up artist was featured on oprah last year
and I got inspired) - anyway - it has tons and tons of ideas for
different "looks" and exactly how to do them, step by step. It doesn't
require pricey makeup either. I've tried some "faces" that I
would've thought were too bold for me at a couple of parties I've been
to and other peoples' responses were overwhelming, my firends loved it
(unless they were lying to me, which i hope is not the case!). So - if
you're not having luck with real life make up artists, you might do
better just playing around yourself armed with a few tricks.

How experienced are you with doing your own make-up? If you wear make-up
regularly and know the various tricks for making your eyes look big and
so on, the only reason I can think of for using a make-up artist is that
you expect to be too nervous to put eyeliner on straight. (It is, by the
way, quite unnerving to let someone else near you with an eyeliner
pencil...)
If, on the other hand, you rarely or never wear make-up but really want
a polished look, you might be better off in the hands of a professional,
just because it's less trouble than learning how to do it right
yourself. Have a trial run, even if you have to pay for it! I will never
forget my one encounter with a make-up artist -- I had to cancel my
afternoon plans and go home to wash my face, she got so out-of-hand with
the eye shadow. There *are* good ones out there, but you need to work
out the desired look in advance.
You may have guessed from that story that I did my own make-up for the
wedding and was very happy with it -- but I wasted many an hour in grad
school reading the make-up tricks of top models, so I did have a clue.
(If only I'd read their *hair* tricks... I might not look like a
belligerent sheep today.)

I was having a tough time deciding on this. I wear make-up, but I wasn't
very confident that I could get "the look." So, I sat down w/ a friend who
sells Mary Kay. She helped me do a make-over and picked out colors, then
she said "you should have it professionally done...it's a special day, have
a little pampering." So I thought, maybe she's right and I started calling
around. Well, being that I'm getting married in "farm town," there was not
one place that did make-overs in a twenty five mile area!!!! Keeping in
mind, i'm not from this town & don't know *anybody*!
I figured that I'll just do my own again, and then I asked the salon (for my
hair) if they had any suggestions. My stylist said to bring the make-up
with me, and she'll do it. I figure that she went to school for
cosmetology, so she knows what she's doing, even though she's not a
practicing "make-up artist."

it, but you may hate her style. Even if you don't hate it, you don't
want your wedding day to be when you discuss particulars.

That means make-up artists who have experience doing make-up for photos ( not
someone who works at the make-up counter in the local department store ) because
it can make a huge difference in pictures.
But always have a test session with them first and TIME them to see how fast they
work so you'll know what time they'll have to start working on you to have you on
time for photos, then add twenty minutes to that time to allow for little things
holding things up and getting your dress on. If your also having MOH and Mom done,
factor that in too. Nothing screws up the day more than having make-up or hair
people running late ( I've had them hold things up for an hour or more recently on
a couple of weddings and we spent all of the cocktail hour and half the reception
catching up). If they're not coming to the location where your getting dressed do
a dry run on the travel time too. Also the week before the wedding CONFIRM,
CONFIRM, CONFIRM times, addresses, and if the day your getting married is the day
we change the clocks back or ahead remind them of that too.

I know what will look good on me, but not what I should be doing
specifically for photos...
I'd like to wear makeup that will look as good face-to-face as in the
pictures; I don't want to be TOO made up just for the pics.

the same with a base/foundation. If you dont wear foundation on a normal
basis, and your skin is pretty clear, try a tinted moisturizer. For skin
that tends to be oily, get an oil absorbing or oil control base/foundation.
Make sure you have powder. This is very important to "set" you base and as a
shine control for the rest of the day. I would reccomend loose powder the
best, but of course a compact pressed powder is smaller to tote around and
you dont have to worry about carrying a brush. Never apply powder in a
"wiping" or sweeping motion. This might cause streaks and ruin your base. If
you opt for blush, get a colour that is similar to the color when you blush
naturally.For darker skinned, try a bronzer. Its best to apply blush with a
cotton ball, rather than the brush that it comes with. The brush will tend
to make "streaks" and you dont want just a line of blush on your cheeks.
Overall, the makeup you will apply on your wedding day should be a bit more
than what you would normally wear, so you dont look "washed out" in your
pictures. Also, take into consideration if you are getting all colored
photographs or all black and white ones, or a little of both. If the photos
will be colored, you would want a more neutral color, if black and white,
you would want a slightly darker lipstick..etc. I hope this helps, of course
people have different skin and different needs, so go with what you are most
comfortable with. If anyone else wants a free consultation, please dont
hesitate to email me, i'm a professional make up artist and a bride to be :)
Good Luck!

me to the Bobbi Brown website. Unfortunately, I don't have the addy
anymore, but if you do an internet search for "bobbi brown makeup," I'm
sure you can come up w/ it. Once there, do a website search for "bridal
beauty."
Hope that helps,

You don't really have to be. (When I was in plays when I was
younger, our stage makeup was lighter than some things i've seen people
wearing on the street. Eep.)
Anyway, what I would suggest doing is getting a camera and
some film like you'll be using on the day (colour or b&w is most
critical here, really) and then try out taking photos of different
types of makeup/colours of makeup in lighting which approximates
the lighting conditions where you'll be having your photos taken
(outside vs. inside vs. candlelit, etc.) You won't get a 100% perfect
idea, but it should show you if your favourite lipstick colour makes
you look like you have no lips in b&w or makes you look like you're
wearing black lipstick (as bright red does), that sort of thing.
(Also, sometimes shimmery stuff makes you look sweaty.)
Also, make sure you blend well. I get the impression that
sharp edges of colour show up more in photos than in real life.

If you have a Mary Kay Consultant in your area you might try scheduling
a makeup trial with the consultant. Many consultants will do before
and after pictures so you can see how you look after the makeup is applied
and compare it to how you looked before. If you don't like the look you
can try something else.

I'm not remotely affiliated with Mary Kay, but I do want to let you
know that their consultants are not supposed to apply the makeup to
your face-you do that yourself. So you're in control of how made-up
you look.
