Hair/Makeup!
As a hairstylist, of course this is my favourite wedding topic!
What do you all have planned for your wedding hair/makeup? Professional? Do it yourself? Any pictures?

Re: Hair/Makeup!
I forgot to add, I just booked my makeup artist! Yay! And for my hair, I have the stylist who did my hair for my grad seven years ago coming up for my wedding. She says I have no say in the matter. She is the only stylist in the world I would trust to do my hair...especially if I don't have a say!
From a stylist's point of view, it's usually the bridesmaids or the MOB who are more stressful to deal with than the bride, but you get brides who are doozies as well. I hope I'm not one of those!
As for makeup I think I will do it myself with ID-bare minearls makeup. I was made up once by a professional makeup artist, it was for my sisters wedding, and I was so unhappy with the results I really dont wanna take that chance for my wedding. I am not one for wearing lots of makeup, I never wear makeup during the week, so dont want to go over the top for the wedding either.
I do think however that I have to hire an extra hair dresser and makeup artist for the BMs and other wedding guests. As we will all be "stuck" at the same hotel in a small village where there is nowhere else to go they willl all have to rely on what I can manage to book, so that is an extra thing to organise. Think I have to get an idea of how many people actually want a hair dresser or make up artist in advance just to be sure that one of each would be enough...
[QUOTE]I'm going to my normal hair salon and getting everything done. My hair never cooperates when I do it and need it to look good and I'm awful at makeup. It's my treat to myself for my wedding! Plus my hairstylist is amazing and she always makes it look awesome!

It is a nice treat! Plus it will be much more relaxing :)
But this is my inspiration pic
And makeup, I will be using the same girl who did our airbrush makeup for one of my BFF's weddings...looking at something similar to this...dramatic eye but romantic

This is my inspiration
The actual one I made
ETA: This is a little off topic, but if you're planning on asking your BMs if they'd like to get hair and/or makeup done professionally (not requiring them to, but giving them the option) how far in advance are you contacting them about this?
[QUOTE]I'm using Captivate by Aleigha -- a privately owned local business. The owner (Aleigha, of course) is fantastic and is actually now my regular hairstylist. I can't wait for the trial for hair and makeup (she does both) and the pictures I've seen are gorgeous. If she can make me look half as pretty as she made her past clients, I'll be more than happy:D ETA: This is a little off topic, but if you're planning on asking your BMs if they'd like to get hair and/or makeup done professionally (not requiring them to, but giving them the option) how far in advance are you contacting them about this?

I think if you've booked already booked a person for makeup, you can ask your BM now. It doesn't hurt, I asked my girls and told them the cost ($40 each). I might just pay for it in the end if they want it, but it's totally up to them.
As for my makeup, I will likely do it myself. I find it stupid expensive to have a makeup artist come in. I looked into it and they charge 100 for the bride only or 65 each for 4+ people. I'm not comfortably to ask my girls to get their make up done professionally and its really not in the budget to pay for everyone.
My photographer put me at ease about doing my own makeup when we did our engagement photos. When we booked him he highly reccomended using a MUA so when we were getting ready to do our Eshoot, I was stressing out over whether or not to pay for a MUA for our photos. I ended up doing it myself to save some money and near the end of my shoot he asked who did my makeup (i think he was curious to know if it was the MUA he reccomended) When I told him I did it myself, he said it looked great and it was well done.
So I feel confident I can do my own makeup for the wedding.
For me: This hair stlye
Makeup:
Yea, my MUA was $100 for bride, $40 for bridesmaids. $100 included a trial and lashes, it seemed like a lot but makeup tends to melt off my face so I thought I'd have a running chance if it were done by a professional.
As for my hair, my regular hairdresser has offered to do my hair, but because I have naturally curly hair I am frightened to let anyone touch it but myself. Soo, I'm wearing mine down and putting something fancy in my hair as an accent.
I'm excited. I can't wait for the pampering experience and mimosas!! :-)
I asked them all recently as I needed a head count in order to book these services. Since we need them to travel to me, I needed to know I would at least have 4 people for each.
