BM Make Up

ExcitedBride.com, 6 October, 2011 at 13:35 Posted on Planning 0 6

Hi everyone,

Im paying for the BM's make up on the day - do I therefore decide what they should wear - i.e eyeshadow colours etc?? Surely one colour for one bridesmaid might look good and not on another??

If its different - do you just go for a universal colour?? .i.e - the natural look???

    My bridesmaids all opted for a natural look, but then they were wearing oyster colour dresses so it looked lovely.

    I'd say that you probably don't entirely choose the make up, as you say different things look good/bad on different people! However, you can suggest what sort of look you want them to go for - ie natural or smoky eyes. Or maybe let them choose but if they want something you really don't then intervene with your suggestion?

    That's what I'm doing anyway ?

    Thanks for this! I think they are wearing a peachy/pinky coloured dress. What is the natural look?? Is it soft pinks and creams?? I dont think the photos will pick up the differences, Ill just make sure they dont have completely ' out there' colours ?

    Just no dramatic colours really, muted tones like cream, browns, pinky. That sort of stuff! Basically colours to make their eyes look nice without looking like they've got loads of make up on!

    Goodness me, no. Different people suit entirely different colours and styles of makeup (based on eye shape etc). I wouldn't have dreamed of picking for my girls.

    Don't worry about "far out" colours. I doubt very much that a reputable makeup artist is going to go wild on colours for a wedding, unless specifically requested by the bride.
