Wedding Make Up

[rumrunnergirl]

How far in advance do you book your hair/makeup person? And is it best to have hair/makeup done by the same person?

My wedding is next July and we already have Ana booked! I figured if we know how many and the time why not! We are having her do hair and makeup just to make it easier not having to worry about one overlapping the other!

Did you have to give a deposit this far out??

I went with the same person for hair and make-up. I also booked it about 8 or 9 months out.
The sooner the better.

Wow, all of the brides on this thread look so beautiful! What a great lookin' bunch
I used Heather Brinkman. She was awesome and managed to make my "faux hair" (my home stylist cut my hair too short 2 weeks before the wedding) look like it belonged to me. Nobody could believe it wasn't my hair! After reading Carrie's suggestion, I also bought myself a "model in a bottle" and my make-up lasted from 7 A.M until 3:30 the next morning (don't ask lol) She did my MOH and I and touched up my BM's. She even managed to get to me on-time during a hurricane. She was AWESOME....and my kids were thrilled that she had worked on the Disney Channel stars for the Disney Channel games a few weeks earlier. Can't say that I came out looking like Adreinne Bailon but I looked like a much better version of me She charged me 175.00 for my hair and make-up and my MOH's hair. She was a BARGAIN!
If anyone is interested in getting in touch with her, PM me good luck!

NOT my HAIR!
But, it looks like it is

I had Ana and Lilli from Beaute Speciale. They performed nothing short of a miracle. I wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation. I was so pleased with the way I looked that I asked them to come and do my make up and hair several other times whilst I was on honeymoon too! They even did my bachelorette hair and make up after my rehearsal. They are just amazing.

I just want to clear something up for Ana. She wants to make clear that she WILL do airbrush make up, and that she is NOT against it. She just doesn't believe that it is needed for bridal make up and that it is best to use in a controlled environment, like a studio. She asked me to explain that once the airbrush make up is on, it is very hard to touch up and so if you cry, sweat, blow your nose, etc then you will automatically take some of the make up layers off and the only way to touch it up is to remove that little area and re-airbrush it again. She said that you can't even powder your face for touch ups once it's on. She also said that since she cares about her job she doesn't recommend it for her brides, but that is just her personal opinion. She does offer it, and if it is wanted, she will do it. She also added that she believes that doing airbrush is the lazy way of applying make up as there is no blending, it is just sprayed on, and there are so many foundations on the market that get you the "airbrush" look without it being airbrushed. She said she is still very old school

Well, I have to say that whatever she did worked for me and she was fantastic. I generally look awful but after Ana and Lilli I have beautiful (IMO) wedding pictures to treasure.
