Makeup

If you have a bridesmaid or friend that's good at make up then you could always ask them too

I would start by looking on instagram honestly using #yourcitywedding and that helped me a lot. From there, start reaching out and asking for portfolios

I like the idea of asking a friend to do it if you have someone that you feel might do a good job. Another idea is to go on websites for local makeup people and look at their work. I’m not a big makeup person either and I certainly didn’t want it to look thick of heavy so I found someone that did airbrush makeup and it looked amazing. Each time she would put it on I could tell her if I wanted more or if that was enough because it went on in layers. It stayed all night in the Florida heat and was super light too. Good luck.

View Quoted Comment I'll try that, thank you!

View Quoted Comment I've been thinking about having someone airbrush me. I've never even seen it done Irl so I'll Google and see if I can come watch or if I can afford it, maybe have them do a quickie on me. Thanks!!

Don't get overwhelmed, just make one decision at a time! I've been there! As for makeup, ask your friends if they can recommend someone. I was able to book a guy who does makeup as a side job and because he was a good friend of my maid of honor, all he wanted for payment was gas money for travel and a bottle of liquor. Lol!

I'd plan on spending at least $70 on your makeup before trial, travel, or tip.
