I’ve caved to the idea of having our makeup done for the wedding. Even though it’s not in the budget, people have been offering to pay for it! My cousin let me know that he has a friend who does makeup for weddings, and since it’s not her “real” job, she doesn’t charge as much as she could.

When I asked him for her info, I was surprised to see that her email address ended in bareescentuals.com. For not wearing makeup most of the time, even I know of Bare Escentuals! Seeing that in her email address scared me a bit, of course she’s going to be soo expensive. Then I got a quote: for a face trial it is $100.00, for the actual wedding day it’s $150.00, with an additional $90.00 for anyone else.

Well, that’s not that expensive–especially for someone in Los Angeles, who actually is a regional manager for Bare Escentuals. Perhaps that’s her “family of her friend” price. Either way, it sounds good to me! And get this–her last name is Miracle. Sign from above? You bet your bippy. Since my hair is being done by a friend of the family, I am actually saving money. I can get a hair-do for about $50.00, and with the makeup, it’s a good amount for how I’ll look in pictures forever.

So, I’ve called my Miracle Worker and we’re currently setting up a day for my makeup trial. I’m actually kind of excited; I’ve never had my makeup done before! I’ve also heard great things about Bare Escentuals, and my sensitive skin should be okay.
