Makeup Question
Random question:
Are you ladies having your makeup redone for the reception or just having it done once, in the morning, prior to ceremony and then just coasting through the day with touch ups, etc?
I am not a big makeup person to begin with, but I am concerned that after the "rigors" of the Hindu ceremony my makeup will look like a hot mess and I don't want that for the reception...
What are you ladies doing?

Re: Makeup Question
I didn't think about the kumkum that will be put on my forehead during the Hindu ceremony...I don't know if people usually leave it on for the reception? We're having the Jewish ceremony half an hour after the Hindu one.
Kavita, the kumkum was exactly was I was thinking of! Maybe the priest will go light with it since I am sure it's not the first time they have come across it...I will ask my sister-in-law how it went for her (although that was almost 10 years ago now!) since I know she didn't get her makeup redone for the reception.
Any other ladies out there who can share?

I am doing two different eye makeup looks to go with each outfit so I will be getting makeup done for morning and separately for reception by same makeup artist ofcourse. Foundation and lipstick will remain same colors, just eye makeup will change from ceremony to reception, she will touch up my lipstick and foundation for reception and I know between the crying after the ceremony (parting from fam) and the running around for getting ready for reception I will def. need a touch up! Also, I will having a updo for morning and having hair down for evening reception
It's very expensive.
[QUOTE]The two looks thing is also not really in my budget either, so it looks like I will have to coast through the day with touch ups here and there. Plus, time is always a factor, too!

</div><div>What about doing a lighter look for the ceremony, and then darkening it up for the reception (ie. more kajal and bolder lips)? That would be a really easy fix that you could do yourself. Just an idea....</div>
hey how about buying a really good foundation in matt finish for the non oil-slick look, and powder that suits your complexion, along with a few other touch up essentials like lipstick and kajal by yourself- and hav your beautician use those products while doing your makeup, esp th foundation so if yu need to do some touch-ups later (which you will because foundation clogs the pores which in protest produce tank-fulls of oil!!) that way yu won't have a different color foundation mark wher yu touch-up. also ask your beautician to teach you a few touch-up tricks that wont spoil the rest of the makeup.
but DO use the makeup yure gonna wear on yr wedding day atleast once before! so yu know exactly how long it can stay without melting off or sweating off your face.
a good compact,lipstick and kajal/mascara are your best friends and shud stay in your clutch. try and find some oil blotters. theyre great!!
I thought about the MAC counter too - they always do a good job! (except that FI thinks then I have too much on, but that's only because I wear powder and macara for everyday!)
Thanks again ladies, you gals are awesome!
ive bought some fake eye lashes and m practicing different styles of wearing it. yu wont believe how much difference just one teeny tiny change cn bring to yr face!! after wearing them straight out of the pack a couple of times (to get used to th idea of having super long thick lashes n how i look in them) i trimmed them a little (vertically, so all the hairs are not the same length) to make them look more natural and re-shaped with a mascara wand and curlers. now thy look fab n dont yell out fake!
yu cn easily change yr entire look by yrself with this. wear some cute coral lipstick and blush during th ceremony for a simple look and lighten the lips at reception and put on some grey eyeshadow blending with yr eyeliner n extending upwards and outwards, highlight the browbone for a dramatic look. i like LORAC'S ON SCREEN DUO in FAME AND FORTUNE (black) its an eyeliner/shadow combo and the results are great!!
