I always see recommendations on these forums to wear heavier makeup for the wedding so you don’t look washed out in photos. I never wear makeup, and when I do it’s just mascara. I plan to wear a little extra on our wedding day to look more dressy than usual, but not too much. I’ve been slowly practicing natural minimal makeup looks.
FH has been commenting when I’ve been experimenting with new makeup. “Why are you suddenly wearing more makeup?”. I explained I’m practicing for the wedding where I don’t want to look washed out in photos. His response was “Well, I won’t be wearing makeup, and I don’t think I’ll be washed out. That sounds like something people tell brides to convince them they need to hire a MUA.”
I didn’t really have an answer to that. Anyone have any insight on this? I still plan to wear a little more for my own confidence, but he’s kind of convinced me it’s not worth wearing heavy makeup.
