Did anyone do there own make up for their wedding?

If you did how did it go. I have had a trial, and didn't like what they did. It was uncomfortable, and kinda sloppy.These were the best the the knot had to offer, I like the way i do my own make up, but not sure what to do, that day i will have lots to do already.


Did your pics turn out okay, or was it to light...Did anyone do there own make up for their wedding?
I am 60, and have been married twice, each time for about 10 years give or take a month or two. First time at age 20, the second time at age 40. Both women did their own makeup for the ceremony. Both did a wonderful job and were stunning in appearance. Both also were instrumental in the design and construction of their respective wedding dresses. Both were advised a little by one of their friends when they needed an extra hand while getting dressed for the occasion. Even though eventually my marriages ended, these are both are good women, we just grew apart, probably as a result of my being in the military causing a strain they could not overcome from my regular deployments overseas for 6 months at a time... Sigh... I'm just saying that ladies can and will do their own makeup if they feel they have the skill set. My suggestion is to practice. Try something different maybe. I know both women experimented with differing looks before settling on the final. Both women I married practiced for a couple of weeks before and worked with some friends to achieve the desired effect. And it worked. Very subtle, light color with a hint of eye shadow.. Both also worked with the photographer and did test shots to see what shading and coloring would look best in the photographs. One caveat, use lipstick which will NOT come off. There is nothing worse than leaving lipstick on the lip of a champagne glass, or worse, someone's cheek. You should NOT wait until the last minute or you will not get the results you desire. Hence, the advice to practice. Best wishes for the day...Did anyone do there own make up for their wedding?
I did my own make up and it looked just great. Had a friend help me with my hair because I was very uncomfortable about how to do that and she did a fabulous job. The pictures were good.





If you do not feel good about the trial, find someone else or do it yourself.





And ask your friends for help with the ';lots to do already';. I had friends who opened the door so my friend and I could focus on getting my gorgeous looks to show and getting dressed. Another friend helped me with the guest book at the reception. Her two little girls were her assistants and they were very persistent in getting every single guest to sign it. Everyone loves to help out, especially on weddings :)





Hope you will have a wonderful day and a blessed marriage.
Hey! Yes I did my own make up for my wedding. The photos turned out really good. If you know how to do your own make up then I would definitely recommend it. You will have a lot to do on the day but you'll still be able to find the time....!





What I would recommend is if you do decide to do it yourself, practice a few times before hand. Pick the colours that you decide to have and keep doing it till it becomes easy. That's what I did, and I didn't have any problems!! Have fun %26amp; congrats for your wedding.






I did the brides make up when she got married last year and she loved it.





However im going to enlist a mark up artist for my big day :)
