Am I mad to consider doing my own make up?

I did my own hair and make up.

I'm doing my own make up, partly because I am a control freak and partly because it seems way too expensive to have someone do it for me. x

Not mad at all. I also considered doing my own but figured it would be nice for a change to be pampered & to let someone else worry about it. The benefit of doing your own is that you will have the make-up for any retouching throughout the day.

I'm doing my own hair and make up, I dont like the idea of someone else doing it, control freak/anxiety issues!

Thanks all. Glad I am not the only control freak! Xxx

I'm doing my own.

I was bridesmaid for my friend and she wanted a MUA, which she booked for herself and the other bridesmaid whilst I did my own. I then fixed both of them once the pro left.

Another control freak here! I'm doing my own makeup and my sister is helping me with my hair.

I did my own make up!

I'm doing my own too, I know what I like.

I've had make up done professionally when I was a bridesmaid and I hated it ?

I think I'll be doing my own too. I'm quite into makeup anyway and there are plenty of tutorials and blogs to use for practice

I thought about doing my own, but then I'd have ended up doing my sisters and Mum's too, decided I probably wouldn't want that, plus I'm rubbish at hair so needed someone for that. Found a fab lady to do both.

Certainly not mad for doing your own though! Especially as you already have your stuff. I think I'm going to get a couple of the key pieces from my trial so I can top up later on.

I did my own and very glad I did as I am also a bit control freaky and don't like being handled too much by other people. I did a 'smoky eyes' course with a company in London (a bargain, courtesy of Wowcher) to get some ideas and invested in a Bare Minerals kit after a recommendation on here, as I don't like heavy, creamy foundation. My friend lent me her Dior eye palette as my something borrowed and with a good waterproof mascara I was all set! It was a nice relaxing part of the morning, doing it my own way in my own time.

Im doing my own, i am going to treat myself to some lovely cosmetics nearer the time.

I'm doing my own...even gave myself a trial at the wknd! I've bought some lovely Chanel makeup, along with the smashbox makeup I already use so all set! I'm funny with people messing with my face!

Ive succumbed to pressure from bm's though & have booked a hairdresser for us all...I was all up for us all doing each others, they had different ideas!!

I'm doing my own too. I've never liked it when I've had my makeup done & end up fixing it plus I did the makeup for my friend's wedding so if I can handle 9 of them, I can manage my own.
