I've been toying with the idea of having someone come and do my makeup on the day.
Well today there was a wedding fayre on, so I popped along and talked to a few makeup artists.
The first stand I went to, well completely unorganised. Main person had popped for a cuppa (place had only been open 20 mins max!), and the assistant couldn't find any prices, and couldn't really remember anything wedding related. Helpful for a wedding fayre.
Second stand I went to, well they were all really friendly, and actually knew the prices lol
They also offered a free make over, a sample using normal makeup to give me an idea of how I might look, without using the actual longer lasting, blast it off with a blow torch stuff.
I was really happy with the outcome. I stood under some super bright lights and took pics, stood outside and took pics.
I then went back inside and popped to the first stand again, hoping to speak to the main person. The lady was there this time, but was flapping about with some A4 pad. Another lady was waiting to speak to her, so I spoke to the same assistant as before and asked if they were doing any free make overs (they did have some chairs set out). The assistant asked the main lady, who very quickly looked at me, and barked 15 minutes. I smiled nicely,nodded and backed away.... the other lady, was still waiting to speak to her... safe to say I didn't bother going back.
But I did go back to the second stand and I have provisionally booked the, for a proper makeup trial, and hair and makeup on the day.
They were so friendly.
Now for the funny bit... assuming you've made it this far.
Posted some pics on Instagram, like you do... did my food shop... went home and the other half saw me... first thing he said... what's that on your face? you look a bit like an old slapper! I had to howled with laughter..? Oh and then followed it up with... makes you look loads older.
Soooooo still going to go ahead with the trial, going to ask them to maybe not do my eyeliner to heavy, cos to be honest that's the only bit I could see that might have made me look older and slappery?!?! Bloody men!
Sat typing this, makeup free!?
