She's not exactly in your area, but she's willing to travel. (She's a lil pricey, but she quite professional - fashion shoots, magazines, weddings, etc.)
Her name is Nam Vo and her website is www.makeupnv.co. Please let her know that Phannie sent you! :)
gluck!
by the way, I would also use Yelp - that's how I'm finding my makeup peeps (I would use Nam, but she'd have to travel to Cali, and that's more $$
)
how about going to your local dept store, getting a makeover from someone whose makeup you admire at the store - then asking them if they do weddings on the side? most do.
Make sure you take pictures of yourself after the trial! I think wedding make up is always a little heavy because of the photographs. You want to find that balance of looking great in pictures and in person.
As for a make up artist, I would check out theknot and project wedding and find people that got married in your area that are asian and ask them about their make up.

I'm getting married in May 2010 next year and I'm looking for an good makeup artist who is asian and understand the complexity of asian featuresa, skin and beauty.
I recently did a bridal trial and was a little disappointed and felt like the artist didn't really listen to me. As much as I was expressing how I didn't want a "heavy" hand when it comes to makeup, the look after she was done very much felt like so. I don't wear makeup but I wanted to look nature and beautiful on camera as well as normal in person.
I thought I looked to much like a drag-queen, too shining/irresdescent/glowing...I know she was trying to acheive the dewy look but honestly I felt like I looked to oil or shiny.
If you have any reccommendations of a good asian makeup artist locally in VA/DC/MD please please help.
