I don't wear or own any make up but do you think it is something i should try for my wedding? when I have worn it in the past I have not felt comfortable and feel like a bit of a clown any tips of what to do will be very appreciated.

maybe do a few make up trials and see how u feel, i done this by going into boots chemist and speaking to the no7 make up woman but its also fine for you to be your natural self without make up . i'm sure you will be a stunning bride either way x

I dont wear much either but having makeup professionally done feels miles different. If youre uncomfortable with foundation (like I am) try some tinted moisturizer or primer. Even just a bit of makeup will make the world of difference :)

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable as well as looking good. Most make up counters in big stores have a consultant who will be happy to make an appointment to give you a make over. Just be prepared that some are better at listening to what you want than others and if you get one that 'plasters' it on then still try others as there may be one you like. Vikky's idea of tinted moisturizer is good. No harm in trying any of it and experimenting and then you can make an informed choice.

I would talk to the make up artists n boots etc like other people have suggested. I dont wear much make up very often but found them very helpful x

maybe have a few trials. explain that you don't set make-up, the natural look is lovely so you can stay true to yourself with minimum make-up x

I'm the same - never wear any make-up. I'm having a trial with boots and with my daughter and see who's best :)

I'd say have a trial. You don't have to have it caked on go for the natural look xxx

Have a few trials and opt for a natural look. Bit of gloss and colour to your cheeks. But make sure you feel comfortable that’s key. With or without I’m sure you will look stunning. - unfortunately for myself I have to wear it as I am starting to get dark circles xxx

Im not a make up person at all but from what ive been researching a lot of other brides have natural make up done just for photos sake xx

I hate wearing make up, but I went to Debenhams and got some really light make up and I really didn't even notice it on. Looks much nicer on the photos xx

Get a make up artist that specialises in natural make up. You will regret it if don’t wear it as the pictures don’t come out as good. If you don’t wear any having make up on at all will make it feel caked on but I promise you from someone who only wears lip gloss and mascara you will be surprised how good it looks x

Visit a Clarins at John Lewis & ask for a natural look trial ...& ask for samples to take away .... Look at your girlfriends who wear make up if any look lovely & natural ask them if they can do you a trail with your new samples ...... If you like it book them to do you on the day ....will keep the costs down a lot !!

I never wear make up, and like you, thought I should try. I opted to do it myself and practice a few times. I just went with foundation, lip gloss and mascara. Just to keep myself looking as natural as possible with make up on. It did let me have an even skin tone :)

Edit: I did have a trial at Debenham with urban decay, and at boots with No. 7. I did buy what was used from no. 7 and used that on our wedding day

I dont wear make up, a friend did mine but made it very light it does make your pictures look better I think xx

I don’t wear make up everyday. But I own a lot and I have been used to wearing it in the past. And I still like to put it on when I dress up. However I think it takes a lot of time and practice to get it right on yourself. If you do get stuff yourself hen definitely ask at the shops for tips or something. If you get someone else to do t for you then I would explain you want a natural look.

If it's not something you wear stay minimal like neutral eyeshadow and some lip gloss x

I hate wearing make up unless I have an interview or a party which are both very rare but am wearing it for my wedding day x
