Advice for make-up on the BIG DAY

I just got engaged last week and I've already started thinking about things I need to do early on so I don't get overwhelmed at the last minute. Someone asked, 'will I be using a make up artist?' Hmmmm.... I'm not an elaborate make-up wearer, nor do I like to look pancakey and overdone.

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a GOOD make-up artist that does make-up that will look very natural.

THANKS ALL!!

-Chelle

Yes, Elizabeth her salon is in Hewlett its called Elizabeth Drucker Skin Care Salon. Me too, I dont like that unnatural look and she did an amazing job. Having your makeup done is really important for the pictures too.

I just had a trial with Jacqueline Nicole and I booked her on the spot! I'm not a huge make-up person either and she made me look completely natural with a nice glow!

She's a vendor on here and is in Suffolk.

Re: Advice for make-up on the BIG DAY

I might be doing mine myself. I have had 3 makeup trials, bought tons of stuff and got advice from all 3. I liked the products that they picked for me, but I like my way of applying it better--plus I don';t know if I can sit still for very long for someone else to apply it that day. I'm practicing a lot and some of my new makeup makeup is almost gone! Also, because I want to practice, I have bene wearing more makeup than usual.

Re: Advice for make-up on the BIG DAY

I wanted something more natural looking/ a 'pink look' Denise from Angel Eyes (vendor here) did mine and I loved it! She did my sisters too and they loved theirs as well.

The airbrushing IMO looked more natural than the traditional makeup trials I had.

Re: Advice for make-up on the BIG DAY

I heard jaqueline nicole is excellent. I have a mu trial with her next weekend so I will post pics after.

PS: any good makeup artist will make sure you do not look 'cakey' on your big day. They can do a very natural make up application
