I had my trial nearly 2 weeks ago and before we left she said she'd send through a timetable for the day so we knew what time we'd need to all be in my hotel room for. She still hasn't sent it through, even after chasing her up last week. I need to know more for the photographer so he knows what time he needs to arrive etc. Surely it shouldn't take so long to work out what time we need to start?

I'm starting to get a little bit worried about her actually... she was really weird with me about where I had to have my veil, then she made me look really orange even though I'm quite fair skinned. When I told her I didn't like it she said "don't be silly, the browner the better". Errr, no!! I just hope she doesn't mess me around!

Thats the point of a trial, if you dont like it, go elsewhere. Sorry to be so blunt. Im very fair skinned so if my make-up ends up thick and orange I would look silly. Having said that, can you not take the intiative, work out the timings yourself and just send her them and say you want her there at XXX time? Id just say as I hadnt heard from her ive gone ahead and sorted it myself. Although if shes not responding not sure id want to use her anyway. That put me off a photographer as he never emailed back and when he did it was weeks later!

What time are you getting married?

When I was MOH for my friend the makeup lady was ace and said I'm here to do whatever you want if you want champagne ill get you champagne! Just remember you are paying her to do a job so she should do it how you want, be brave and tell her you don't like being too dark! X

please dont ask her if the timings ""if I tell the photographer XX time, will that be ok" " .....you are employing her therefore she needs to be there when you want her not when she feels is right

Sounds like a nightmare x

I agree with the other's hun, she should be doing everything she can for you as 1:you're paying her and 2: you're the one who's going to give good or bad reviews to your family and friends, good luck xx

I would valentina, but as I said above - already paid her and can't afford to lose the money. Hopefully it just turns out that I'm fretting for nothing
