Hair and Make-up

Ulta, Sephora, or Mac. You could make an appt and let them know it's for your wedding. Some people do makeup on the side, maybe you could do a trial at the store and then ask them if they would be available for your wedding? Most of those stores typically will do makeup if you buy a certain amount of product. It used to be about $60. Not sure what it is now.

Find an artist through instagram and don't tell the artist its makeup for your wedding. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I sometimes wonder if prices are inflated one the tag wedding is put on it. Its worth a shot.

OMG! I would have never thought of that, Thank you so much!

View Quoted Comment No problem as far as hair. Maybe go to the hair school. Do a trial with a student or see if you can find some styles adding in like a hair clip or something cute.

I think Sephora will do makeup for $50 (you buy $50 worth of their product). Not sure about hair. I'd just Ulta. You could also go to a beauty college.

Ulta or Sephora are great options.

My youngest sister loves doing makeup, so I’m giving her 4 test runs to find a style we both like. It’s actually going great, so I’m going to pay and tip her!

As for hair, I’m saving a BUNCH by just going to DryBar and getting a $40 curled blowout. Super cute and easy!

Where do you live? Every artist here on weddingwire won’t be your match but I’m sure you can find someone willing to work with you . I would start with none reviewed and none spotlight/featured. You want the hungry, well skilled person who hasn’t found that first client yet.

Before contacting really review everything they have posted in their listing. A lot of prospective clients will automatically ask about prices which sets the wrong tone. If you look someone into a price without knowing it’s value you both loose out. Be upfront about your financial situation and tell them you are willing to write an honest review about your experience.

I wish you luck.
