Can u not go for trials at places see what they like and if do good job etc go from there?

I would like to do mine but don't always like mine even when nothing wrong with it so know how u feel x

Depends how calm you think you will feel on the wedding morning hun? I couldnt have done my own to the same standard of a makeup artist as I'm not that confident with makeup. I'm glad I paid someone to come to the house and do it for me so I could relax with the champers and be pampered with no stress. You should treat yourself if you can :) You can really tell the difference in the wedding pics to how I normally look, it was still really natural just enhanced and lasted the whole day xx

That true about the photos indeed.

I know what u mean about funny what they use but just pop long to department store or something and see if they can try stuff out x

U can only ask u never know xx or have u got a beauty college near u??

You can always ask them to use your foundation if that's what your after, they can then use there own products to do the rest of the face xx

Well speak to people they maybe happy to use ur foundation and their products for rest of stuff xxx

Get a trial done at a dept store for free n if u like it,buy some of the products and ask how to apply them x

Why not have a go at doing your own trials? You've got plenty of time to practice doin it yourself. Plus you could into a department store and get a make over done at different counters and see if you like those, if you do you can buy the stuff, practice doing it yourself, then At least you can use all the stuff again after the wedding.

yeah i might book in to mac in wolvo and see what they can suggest! im worried ill be too nervous and make a right pigs ear of it!! less stress the better right! if anyone does come across make up artist in west mids let me know xx

I plan on having my done theres no way i'd be able to control the nerves enough to be able to apply it. If you don't like how they do it just tell them and I'm sure they'll do it again for you I mean it is your wedding you should expect it to be no less than perfect

I've booked a make up artist. No way would i trust myself on the morning of the wedding, i'd be too nervous lol. But it's entirely up to you, if you think you can do it then go for it. What would you prefer to do?

Make up artists are expensive unfortunately :( See if any of your suppliers can reccommend one that they often work with? My make up artist is my photographer's wife lol
Also, try mobile beauticians? A lot of them do wedding make up and are so much cheaper
