    I would like to but there far to expensive so I'll be doing my own but getting some decent foundation. Going for a trial at the french counter on friday.

    I've got my makeup artist booked already. I knew I wanted her as she did a fab job on us at my sisters wedding last year so booked her as soon as I could. She's amazing, she does London fashion week.

    I've booked for my hair & make up to be done as I don't want anything stressing me out on my big day. My friend got married on Friday and had the lady I booked so I got a preview of her work and I was very impressed. I even got to touch her face and couldn't believe how light it felt. It's one thing I don't mind splashing out on.

    I can't wait until 29/06/2013
    The day I marry the man of my dreams!

    I have booked a make-up artist and hair stylist (from the same shop) I certainly don't want to be worrying about doing my hair and make-up right when I'll be so excited and nervous. My H2B said it was worth the money for me to be pampered and spoilt on my wedding day and we're on a tight budget, but he insisted it was one of the important things on our list. Who was I to argue :))

    I am very fussy about my make-up so I will be getting my mum to do it on the day for me (as I will probably be too nervous to do it myself). This way I can get my mum to keep practicing it until it is perfect, and I wont have to pay for it everytime! I will be buying some better make up for it though xxx

    I dont normally wear make up to be honest what with 3 kids I dont have the time lol
    So yes on the day I shall be getting someone else to do it for me, I want to look like me still just more polished hehehe

    I was going to get one person to do hair and make up but was advised to get one for hair and another for make up as I have 4 bridesmaids and a flower girl to do to SO I am looking for qoutes for both as we speak :-)

    I am definitely considering having one. I would get waaaaay to stressed trying to do my own! One mascara smudge would result in bridal meltdown :/ lol. Haven't really looked into it though yet. Anyone know any good ones in the Buckinghamshire/Bedfordshire area? Xxx

    Ive booked one because I'll bent nervous on the day and if it didn't go how I wanted it I'd be stressing. She's quite expensive, £40 for trial and £50 on the day but she's got a degree unit and has done magazine, tv and film work so she's really good x

    was considering it as the makeup artist i would normally use is a bridesmaid so she cant be doing 6 people and herself on the day not really fair on her. xx

    Im getting someone to do hair but we will be doing our own make up at the moment due to cost. Might visit the D counters and get some new make up though to make sure I have the right tools for the job!

    i have booked ladys to do both my hair and make-up. i'm happy with my everyday make-up but i know i wouldn't be happy if i couldn't get it right on the day and it will be a lot less stress and easier to get someone in to do it. the lady i picked is amazing all her pictures look perfect hides all flaws and will make me look my best and she as some great feed back on book face from her brides.
