Makeup artist Referral for women of color!

  I'm having trouble finding a makeup artist that knows how to do makeup on dark skin. My complexion color is a tad darker than Halle Berry. I wear Nars and YSL for personal use but I dont want to do my makeup for my Dec 5th wedding.  I want a smokey eye and nude lip but interviewing artists is getting to be a pain. They dont have foundation to match me or dont show up for the interview. Please no flakes ha!   Thank you! Stephanie

    Definitely Natalie Buketov.   She has photos of an African American (and Asian, Indian and Anglo) bride(s) on her vendor page at Project Wedding dot com.  She mixes her own foundations.Project Wedding.com/vendors/nataliebuketov

    There's a bride on the LA boards that might be able to help you out- she just had her trial and it looks amazing- kcliveoutloud.  Page her, she might be able to guide you in the right direction!

    What about providing your favorite makeup artist with your own makeup and having them apply your own foundation that you know works for you and have them do the rest (eyes, lips etc...)?
