I’ve don’t multiple makeup trials and honestly, I don’t like the way I look after any of them. I don’t really wear makeup daily and keep it light for events. The makeup after trials feels heavy and I don’t feel like myself. I’m debating doing my own makeup—has anyone done this? Did you regret it?

It’s important to consider that professional makeup is done for two reasons: to last 12+ hours, and to look great in photos. . Most makeup done at home won’t do these things - that being said you should absolutely feel beautiful and comfortable

I suggest you show them a photo of yourself with your own makeup, and have them recreate it as closely as possible.

As above mentioned, the benefit of a makeup artist isn’t just the look itself. It’s how it will photograph, and how it will stay put through the entire day. Finally and most importantly to me, it’s one less thing to think about on the day. You get to sit and go through your other items, practice vows, talk to bridesmaids, or just plain relax and enjoy!!

I am the same way! Never really do my own makeup, and didn’t like how heavy and unnatural bridal makeup trials were looking. Ended up having my MOH who is a master at makeup do mine. We went shopping at Sephora and did a couple trials, it was perfect!

Ask people you trust for their opinion. Take some photos and compare.

There are definitely some brides who would’ve looked better doing their own makeup. Some people look older and less pretty with the heavy makeup that artists use. So you have to figure it out for yourself.

Go with your gut! I wear heavy makeup and even i’ve seen some wedding makeup that i consider heavy and overdone. I’d do my own makeup in a heartbeat

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
