Makeup in Salons - how good will it be?

A beautician will probably have been trained to apply makeup buy only as part of a beauticians course so it will just be one of the services they provide. Salons tend to use salon brand makeup which is normally quite cheap in quality and not designed to last for up to 15 hours (like bridal makeup should be) and it won't necessarilly photograph well. The main problem with salon makeup is that they will apply it under artificial lights not daylight. This makes it hard to colour match properly to your skintone and also makes it hard to see how much makeup is applied and the tendency is to apply too much. I would seriously recommend that you have a trained makeup artist come to you instead. It's the one day of your life that you'll be photographed all day and you want to look your best. Juliet

Thanks Juliet, I was just about to re-post as I didn't think anyone had replied!

Thank you!

My pleasure! I'd forgotten I'd replied to this as it was so long ago! Lol! Juliet x

I've ended up having mine done at a salon. Had the trial, was pleased with the results and went with them. I'm sure there are bad salons just as there can be bad MUAs, but from my experience, it's a bit rash to rule them out altogether.

I also had mine done in the hair salon i go to- and was very happy with it- i hardly ever wear make up anyhows- but it looked so natural and it lasted all day.. i go to the same place everytime i have a wedding or going to a party etc- and @ £8 it's a bargain
