Going the Professional Route

Going the Professional Route

In the beginning of our engagement, I decided that I might attempt to do my own makeup on our wedding day.

This is a pretty funny notion if you know me, considering that I very rarely wear makeup. And I’m going to attempt to do it myself on what will likely be the most photographed day of my life? Perhaps not the brightest idea. I had Googled a few makeup artists in Vancouver but I wasn’t in love with their portfolios, so I figured I’d just do it myself. I really want to look natural, to look just like me! But maybe with some false eyelashes?

Thank goodness for my photographer who asked if I needed a makeup recommendation. She really has been a great resource for advice and recommendations. She suggested ML Makeup Artistry. I pored over her portfolio, and everyone looks so naturally beautiful. Plus, not only is she good, but apparently she is wonderful to be around. Luckily she was free on our wedding day, so I booked her right away. She’ll come to the house to do my makeup, along with my MOH and BM as well. I imagine our photographer will come by just as I’m getting my makeup done.

This will allow for amazing pictures like this…

Does anyone else see pictures like this and think, “Wow, I need a cute robe to wear while getting ready.”?

Or is that just me?

I was going to do my own makeup also but am so glad my friend did it instead. She did such a great job!

Yessss to the robe. I really want one from Anthro, but it is so expensive and I’m going to a salon, so I’m thinking clothes might be needed. If you get a robe I am going to live vicariously through you!

I can’t decide if I want to go with robes or zip jackets for myself and the wedding party to get ready.

I’m leaning more toward zip jackets because I think I’ll use it WAY more after they wedding. And I’m hoping to find 3/4 length sleeves on a zip hoodie. If anyone knows of any, PM me!

I’m doing my own makeup, but I think I do pretty good when I actually make the effort, so I’m not gonna worry.

Oh no, I had actually never thought about the cute robe… But now I am thinking “Oh no I NEED a cute robe, where will I find one, what material should it be, how much can I spend on it”. Argh I have to stop that
