Alright you beautiful brides out there…… let’s talk wedding makeup!
So many brides are intimidated about their wedding day makeup. Whether they wear makeup on a day to day basis or not, they are still anxious about deciding between attempting to do it themselves and hiring a professional artist. There are many talented makeup artists in the Portland area, so it’s generally not hard to find a pro. However, it can be costly and some brides just don’t have room in the budget. But don’t despair….help can be just a hop, skip and a freeway ride away
.
If you have never worn makeup or have no idea where to start, NO PROBLEM! Next time you are wandering around the mall, stop by the MAC counter at Nordstrom or Macy’s and have them show you a trick or two. You don’t have to purchase anything; just let them know that your wedding is coming up and that you want to try and do your own makeup. They will be super excited to help and can show you a face template, teach you different application techniques and write down all of the colors and products they used. It’s really is easy! If you want to find out more about M*A*C Cosmetics, just go to their website, www.MACCosmetics.com. You can view their new collections and get pricing information before you go for your consultation.
If doing it yourself just sounds crazy and pretty much out of the question…..ask around for referrals for local makeup artists. Your hairdresser most likely knows someone or you can do some Google searching for artists that advertise on the web. From my experience, I would definitely recommend the girls from Event Cosmetics. They specialize in bridal parties and do hair and makeup artistry all in one. They are located inside The Bridal Loft in S.E. Portland. Check them out on the web at: www.eventcosmetics.com.
Don’t let your wedding makeup get the best of you! You want to look amazing on your big day so take advantage of all the resources available to help you get there!
