Wedding Make-Up

There are many ways to save money and have fabulous wedding make-up for your big day. Even if you don’t have a clue about wedding make up salon or wedding make up or don’t normally wear any, there are still many bridal make-up options for you to play around with. Even if you are a complete minimalist and terrified of cosmetics, trying out some semi-sheer lip glosses would be fun.

If you want to hire someone to do your wedding make up salon or wedding make up or you want to do it yourself but need help, the #1 beauty tip i can give is to get yourself to a make-up counter with a skilled staff! For those of you lucky enough to have a mac counter at your nearest department store, their cosmetics staff come highly recommended by many. Their staff has to train for a long time before they do makeovers, so they know what they are doing and you (hopefully!) Won’t come out looking like a clown. The makeovers are free with a 4 product purchase, which usually comes out to around $60. I know quite a few girls who made appointments at the mac counter the morning of their wedding for super savings, however i've been informed by a mac artist that if they know it is for your wedding they will turn you away and not do your make-up. However, you can hire a mac artist for your wedding day make up salon for $150. In addition to mac, the sephora stores are also a great place to try out make-up and learn from the staff.

If you don’t have mac or sephora in your area, chances are you still do have some sort of a department store, and most of the major (fine) cosmetics brands will do makeovers (clinique, lancome, estee lauder to name a few) and these are generally free or free with a purchase. Another option is to ask around…everybody knows somebody who sells mary kay or avon and these consultants usually know a thing or two about make up and will give you a free consultation.

The benefits of going to a make-up counter to figure out your bridal make-up options are numerous. At the very least you’ll learn what not to do! If you are planning to do your own make-up you will likely learn a lot and even some new tips that you never though of. If you are clueless about make up, cosmetics staff will help you immensely with choosing colors that look right on you.

If you want to hire someone you can often ask the person doing your makeover (assuming you like the results) if they are willing to do your bridal make up salon the day of. Chances are they have already done this and their prices are generally way cheaper than someone labeled as a “bridal make up salon.” At the very least, they can generally recommend someone to you.

Another tip if you are doing your own bridal make-up on a budget is to check the cosmetic return policy of drugstores near you. Many drugstores have excellent return policies for cosmetics and let you return them with a receipt even if they’ve been opened and tried out! This is a wonderful thing to try the bridal make up salon out at home because we’ve all had the horror of something looking great in the store and awful once you get home. This way you can try out colors without breaking the bank.
