Weddingbee boards

I'm a hairstylist and a makeup artist, a current trend I'm seeing is that most of the women LOVE their eye makeup, but hate the rest of the face.  Well, you guys know you can just get the eyes done by your makeup artist right?  I don't get offended at all, and I rather just do the eyes if they're not comfortable with the rest of the face.  I mean, there's only so much we can do...we're no magicians!  I hope you keep that in mind...so that way you can still have your beautiful eye makeup...and get it done cheaper than having a full face done!  At least, that's what I do if someone just wants their eyes done.  But do note that MINERAL makeup is NOT MEANT for photography!  It doesn't hold up well, and you'll either be too dark, too light or blotchy looking.  Try it on your face, and take pictures with SEVERAL lighting options and different settings...see how it holds up well in all of the pictures.  Because with wedding photography, you're not on a 'set'...you're outside, inside, in the light or in the dark...so...be wise if you're gonna go bare minerals!  PS.  LAURA MERCIER (LOVE, LOVE IT! COVERAGE IS GREAT!), MAKEUP FOREVER HD and SMASHBOX HD are the BEST foundations for wedding...and try not to use foundations with SPF...the spf will reflect light, causing a whitish cast.  GOOD LUCK!

@stylistSU: After years of being a makeup artist. The rule stands true. There are no rules to makeup, only rules of thumb. Nothing called "too anything".I disagree with telling anyone how to wear their foundation/blush/powder/eyeliner/eyeshadow. Makeup is subjective. Everyone has their own makeup style. Many light people tend to go light/lighter or mix it with a luminzer to make themselves brighter/radiant/porcelin like. A great example of this would be dita von teese, who even stays out the sun to maintain her light skintone and wears light foundation. Others prefer to be dark/darker and darken in the sun or use bronzer all over their skintone. Different people have different preferences. If I spelled "Horse" "Howrse" than there is no "ifs" "and" or "buts" because grammar isnt subjective. What is wrong is wrong!However. Makeup is subjective. I hate nude lips. Does that mean its right to say "dont wear nude lips" ? No.
I might not like it but someone else might. There is no rule to makeup. Thats the beauty of being a makeup artist. There are soo many different styles.
 I hate bronzer. But maybe there is someone who loves that deep bronzed look. I cant go to them and say "dont go soo deep in the bronzer" and say its "constructive". There are soo many different styles.who is anyone to tell someone theyre wearing a too light or too dark foundation, because there is no such thing. Nicole and Sam from pixiwoo(huge makeupartists in Britain) sometimes wear paler or darker foundation and it looks gorgeous! as long as people blend it to the neck its fine....some people prefer to look bright and radiant.
If they like to look darker,etc..thats their wedding day and their preference.
