Make Up

When I booked mine it was on a recommendation from my photographer. He had worked with her on a number of weddings. I looked at her website, plus she has a facebook page and lots of videos on you tube. I really liked the look of the previous jobs she had done.

What area are you in? Perhaps its worth asking for recommendations from other hitchers or hibs?

Hi,

Give the lady a ring and explain you have got her number from your hairdresser. Ask if she has a website so you can look at her portfolio or if she doesn't if she can email you some pictures of brides she has done.

You don't have to wait to have a trial a few weeks before your wedding you can have one as soon as you want too.

If you look at other makeup artists then look at their portfolio and see if you like what they do. Email them or talk to them. You will get a feel if you would feel comfortable with them doing your makeup and if you would trust them.

Hope this helps

Try doing a google search in your area for people who do bridal makeup. A lot of salons/ beauty rooms have professional makeup artists and will have examples of their work on their websites along with prices which might help too

Very interesting

Thanks everyone, I have already googled and found a couple of others incase I don't think this lady that the hairdresser has recommended is right for me, it was just the idea of booking somebody without seeing what they can do that was worrying me because she doesn't have a website.

As you all quite rightly said though, I should just ask to see her portfolio or some pictures of brides she has previously made up.

I think whats throwing me is that she has no webpage or email address (that I know of) and I always make first contact via email- I hate making initial enquiries by phone but I guess I just need to bite the bullet. I'll do it this week.

Thanks all
