August 2012 Weddings

makeup...ughhh

I need to make a choice between the mary kay lady and one of my bm to do makeup…..they are both charging 30 bucks per person…my bm lowered her price from 75 per bm and 125 for the bride….i was told don’t hire a friend…but at one point she was my bff….i keep going back and forth in my head….maybe I should just do a trial with both

Re: makeup...ughhh

  • Yeah I would do a trial with both and then make a decision based off of those trials.
  • Trial first, then make a decision. From my perspective, your friend sounds like a good choice. Her prices are usually higher, which means she's probably high quality, you get what you pay for, and not to mention she's super sweet for giving such a giant discount. That'd be enough for me to hire her, friend or not.
  • Is she doing just yours or everyone? My only worry would be that since she's a bridesmaid she might be busy getting ready with you. I agree with the trials though.
  • I think it depends.  For me, I wouldn't mess with the friend thing because I get way too worried about hurting people's feelings, and I'd end up hiring her even if I liked the other person better, just to not ruffle feathers.  If you can be honest with her and it won't hurt your friendship, go for the trial.

  • I'd skip using a friend because I wouldn't say anything if I didn't like it and then I'd be pissed.  She also might just want to relax with you and get ready that day. 
    8/12 March Siggy- reception venue!
