Has anyone done/will do their own hair and makeup on their wedding day? I feel fairly confident in doing it myself. I am always watching beauty tutorials, and love trying new products so I am always buying the hottest, newest pallets and trying new things. I’m attaching two photos, one of my normal face/eyebrows and the second is how I want my eyes (I ran out of brow product so please ignore how bad they look in the second one AND used a too orange bronzer, so focus on the eyes lol)

Also, any constructive criticism is welcome as long as foundation, primer, and concealer suggestions for dry skin!!

They're beautiful, I especially love the eyes in the second picture! I think you're in great hands, your own 🙂 wish I had your skills

Every time I let someone else do my makeup I have never liked it so on my wedding day I am also going to be doing it myself so I don’t have to worry about paying someone for an okay job

I'm doing my own makeup also, u look super and surely u can do your own makeup even better than some mua , i have dry skin too and it took a bit of time to finally get products that work perfectly , try to buy skin care products specifically for dry skin, a good primer ofc like mac prep + prime or smashbox photo ready, and estee lauder double wear foundation works super, as for concealer i find Nars concealer amazing and works perfect everytime , also iluvsarahii has amazing makeup tutorials those really helped me .

You are SO pretty, I love the makeup in both photos. Like PP's said, your eyes really pop in that second photo. I'm doing my own makeup for the wedding, but I'm just doing eye makeup and something for the lips

I ended up doing my own makeup for my wedding since two different makeup artists claimed to be double booked after I already booked them. Luckily for me, I've been dabbling in makeup technique and skills for several years. I think your makeup looks really good! If you have dry skin, moisturizing and/or cream based foundations work best on your skin. Powdery foundations appear more cakey on dry skin. My go to is MAC Studio Fix foundation. It finishes great and doesn't oxidize to make the skin look orange.

I did my own makeup, but not my own hair. I actually went to Great Clips for my hair. I don't wear makeup on a regular basis at all but have done my own makeup when performing on stage in productions so felt confident in it. A MUA is definitely not a necessity!

I will be doing my own makeup more than likely but I won’t be doing my own hair

I am getting married May 9, 2020, and plan on doing my own makeup. I’m getting my hair done, and the bridesmaids hair done. What should I do about their makeup?

I'm planning to do my own makeup but will probably resort to having my hair professionally styled. I'm definitely not as skilled as you with makeup but have been watching YouTube videos and figure I still have almost 7 months left to practice. I rarely wear makeup day to day so am usually horrified but how much product others put on my face (and how heavy it feels) and feel like professional MUAs have a very different idea of "natural" makeup than I do. I want to be an authentic representation of myself on my wedding day, and would much prefer to do my own makeup and have it not be perfect than pay someone to do it and still have it not be right.
