Bridesmaid Doing Makeup Separately?

I don't think that is rude at all. Some people aren't good at makeup and want to look their best as a bridesmaid. The bride may be on a tight budget and can't hire a makeup artist, while the bridesmaid may have the money to get their makeup done.

I don't think it is rude as long as the bridesmaid is there when the bride requests for any photos.

Not rude or weird. Many women do not feel comfortable applying their own makeup. Also no one owns makeup designed for HD photography.

Not rude or weird. I’m in the opposite boat. I’m paying for mine, my MOH & 1 bridesmaid both hair & makeup. My 3rd is wants to do her own.

Yes, it is called a standard traditional wedding.
A lot of people do not realize that the celebrity and her entourage model for a bride and her attendants to 1. get ready together, and 2. share professional Hair and makeup, sometimes mani and pedi and 3. for all to be chosen wat before the previous usual 8 months ado things like go as a group for bride's gown ...
All have come in stages over 16 years , along with modern registries and bachelorette parties. Highly promoted by TV and the wedding industry to increase the money made from weddings, a lot of people do not realize that what they see does not happen except in resorts and cities ( if there) in many states. And where it does happen at least 1/3 to 1/2 the time happens most when the bride side travels , least in local weddings. Still the majority of people are more traditional, and the bride gets ready either with family or maybe 1 attendant. With or without professional services. And the attendants each do what they want. Self, friend, local salon, hotel salon; one at a time or a few. Or they do each other. I live in one of the states where WE and the knot do not list anyone not working for a hotel who comes to the wedding party for 60-80 mile stretches, or more. So yes, a bridesmaid most certainly can and does find her own services, separate from the bride, very, very often. TV and people on WW, the knot, and other sites, do not represent te majority of brides, still, when it comes to getting ready ( and a whole lot of other things.)

Not weird! I hired hair/makeup for myself and two of my bridesmaids - my third is very particular about products (sensitive skin, allergies, etc.) and wanted to use people she's worked with before, so she's getting her hair/makeup done by them and joining us later.

Not at all! There have been weddings where I would do my own makeup, or go get it done somewhere else. It's not rude at all. If you want your girls to have similar looks make sure you let them know and provide examples so the makeup artist knows what they will be working with.

Agree with this

I did my own hair and makeup in a wedding I wa sin and the rest of the bridal party got theirs professionally done! I was trying g to save some money since they got married in an expensive time for us. It was totally fine. I did mine at home and then picked up bagels for everyone on the way there! When I got there, the other bridesmaids already had their hair and makeup done and the MOH and bride were having theirs done. It was perfect! Not rude or awkward at all!

Having everyone do their own hair and makeup is much more common than not. We simply don’t hear about it because that’s not what sells! Having everyone be responsible for their own hair and makeup is economical, reduces stress, saves time the day of, and is convenient for all.

Why would that be rude?

Why would it be rude for her to get her makeup done? Maybe I’m missing something. What’s the concern?

I don't think it's rude or weird. I am having everyone get their hair done for mine but I left it up to everyone whether they wanted to get their make up done or do their own. I know that people are particular with what does on their face and I'm not going to make someone pay for their make up to get done if they do a good job on their make up themselves.

I had a pretty decent bridal party-- 6 ladies. I only paid for MOH and my mom. I let them do what they liked. The day of the wedding, the MOH and I left half my bridesmaids to do their own thing (we all stayed together). I think it's normal

View Quoted Comment I’m actually the bridesmaid in the situation. I just don’t want to cause any upset feelings if I get mine done separately when the rest of the party agreed to do their own makeup
