Light on Make Up?

Hello! I just booked my hair appointment and also tentatively scheduled make up with it too for the day of my wedding. I say tentatively because usually I do not wear any make up. Make up has never sat well with my skin (rashes, acne, general redness) and even mascara irratates my eyes after a couple hours (although I recently found one that seems to be OK if I wear it for a full day).

I figured that when I go in for my hair trial I'll also try make up, but I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar position or had any suggestions. I'm fair and have blue eyes, if that info helps. Any tips or things that worked (or didn't!) for you would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't usually wear makeup either. It tends to irritate my skin and eyes as well, but then again, I gave up looking after a couple I didn't like. I make my own natural soaps and rarely use commercial beauty products. I'm curious if anyone has gone makeup-free on their wedding day? I'd also love suggestions for natural products. OP: Natural products may help you as well, since the chemicals are usually what causes a reaction. Would you mind sharing what brand of mascara you liked?

    I would definitely go with the trial, but let your hair/makeup artist know about your reactions. It sounds like you're using the drug-store brands which tend to contain high levels of ingredients that cause irritation, like talc and mica. Higher end brands contain smaller amounts of it or none at all.  But be sure to let the artist know in advance!
