For the brides who did their own makeup...

Did you find it super stressful?

I'm experienced with makeup, and did my own for my engagement photos, which came out great. However, I do think it'd be nice to be pampered and not have to worry about messing something up on the big day. I'm also super picky and a lot of the pictures I see of local makeup artists aren't very satisfying. It's a bit pricey so don't really want to spend the money when I know I can do it just as good myself.

So, I wanted to know if you were really stressed doing your makeup on the day of, if you're a control freak like me? Or is it just better to let someone take over and be stress-free? TIA Smiley smile

    I did my own hair and makeup. The one thing that I would suggest is getting lash extensions as that automatically enhances your look regardless of how light your make up application may be!

    I did mine and let me tell you it took me about an hour doing it. My makeup came out great! I would've been more stressed if someone did mine just for the fact it may not turn out how I invisioned it .

    This is one of my top stresses deciding to use a make up artist or not I have been going back and forth with the idea for a few weeks and it is pricey.... and my bridesmaids are causing me extra stress because they are picky but I'm going to go with the person I want to go with and they can either use that person or not. I don't care about anyone's make up getting done but me and my moms at this point.

    I personally love doing my makeup, so for me it wasn't stressful. If anything, it helped me slow down and just take everything in before all of the craziness. I took about an hour to my makeup, and one of my bridesmaids did my hair, which took about 30 minutes. My makeup lasted all day and night (setting spray ftw!). I personally would've been more stressed having someone do my makeup because 1. that would've been one more person/vendor to rely on getting to the hotel on time and 2. I personally like to be able to control what goes on my face and how it goes on lol
