Spray Tan???
Michelle, on November 6, 2021 at 11:55 AM

I’m pretty sure I know what y’alls answer will be but I thought I would ask anyway. I have gone back and forth on getting a spray tan before my wedding (which is this Friday). But time got away from...

Nail color for wedding day?
Alejandra, on October 28, 2021 at 6:49 PM

Hello all, what colors did/will you go with for your nails? I am debating between three looks and my wedding is next weekend. A solid nude color, ombré nude nails, and burgundy nails. If it matters,...

Was your photographer present for hair/makeup?
Michelle, on September 30, 2021 at 2:37 PM

Not that getting ready pictures are high priority but I was reading that for most weddings, they are 100% staged and photographers ask that all hair and makeup be completely done before they arrive....

mrswinteriscoming, on October 28, 2021 at 7:37 PM

On the day of the wedding, we will be picked up at 2:30pm for photos and thus are aiming to be finished with hair and makeup by 1:30pm so we can all be dressed and ready with enough time to spare....

Airbrush makeup?
Nicole, on July 8, 2021 at 4:30 PM

What’s your experience with it? Did you like it or no? I had my makeup trial with airbrush and it looked good, but not sure how it lasts throughout the day since I had my trial later in the day and...

What hair with my dress?!
Heather, on October 25, 2021 at 10:40 AM

I am having the hardest time deciding what hairstyle I should do. Our wedding is going to be in late March in the mountains, so getting too hot won’t be an issue. My hair is mid back length. Here is...

We're having a small destination wedding, and since I won't be able to do a hair or makeup trial I was planning on doing my hair and makeup myself. I'm pretty decent at both, and think it will work...

Smear proof lipstick?
Aleah, on September 16, 2019 at 12:50 AM

So I am doing my own makeup for my wedding, just can’t afford to have it done professionally and I don’t trust the cheap local makeup places nearby since they always recommend the wrong shade of...

When to get eyelashes done?
Alejandra, on October 23, 2021 at 10:18 AM

Hi all, My makeup package includes fake lashes, and while I love the look, I think they’re somewhat uncomfortable because I can see them. I’m also scared of them accidentally falling off, which I know...

diy makeup necessities?!
Elizabeth, on October 26, 2020 at 6:43 PM

So, hiring a professional makeup artist is kinda out of the question. Our destination is pretty remote and paying for someone to come out would be VERY pricey. SO. I’m doing it myself. I have a friend...

Make up trial
Gabby, on July 29, 2021 at 10:12 AM

So I had my makeup trial yesterday and I'm having serious doubts about it. She did airbrush even though I said I was a little concerned about it and wanted fuller coverage. She also didn't contour and...

I booked my makeup artist and paid a $200 deposit many many months ago. I did a trial in July. It went great. I had another trial scheduled for September but ended up canceling the trial...
