Well, more and more ladies are opting to do just that! And I have to say, after some not so great experiences after having my make-up 'profesionally' done - I'm starting to see why it can be a good idea.
Firstly - you know yourself. You might already know the tricks to make your eyes look bigger, what colour works for your lips and when it comes to hair - I'm sure you know all the quirks of your stubborn strands!
Of course it's a great way to save money - but remember these tips before you attempt the big 'do' on the big night!
- Look at magazines and online articles. Find the picture you love - it's easier to get the look of something that's been done before and one that you can reference. Especially when it comes to hair - don't think "I'll just put my hair up" - there are so many different ways of doing each and every look.
- Practice makes perfect! Try it again and again until you get it right! You'll figure out the shortcuts and know exactly how much hair spray to use, or figure out the perfect blend of eyeshadow.
- What is a carpenter without his saw? Make sure you have all the right tools - from make-up remover to the right brushes, line it all up on your dressing table to you won't have to dig through messy bags and drawers to find it.
- Don't rush! Make sure you have enough time, and then a little more. How many times has your hand slipped and you end up with a little bit more Gothic eyeliner than you wished for? If something does go wrong, you won't need to stress as you plenty of time to fix it or start over!
- Emergency! I never leave home without my make-up bag! You don't need to take everything with you, but the essentials like lipgloss, maybe some concealer and some boppy pins are a must. You need to keep your loop picture perfect throughout the night :)
I bet you that after this - you'll be able to do your make-up and hair in no time!
Good luck girls!
