I have found a girl based in Galway who is extremely popular and has excellent testemonials but one of my bridesmaids wasn't sure when she looked at her Facebook. I think she felt her looks weren't 'dramatic' enough. I'm in two minds now what to do as I believe she will be the best for the job on the day. I think I spend too long trying to make sure other people are happy!

rougegal wrote: » I've seen Malvina's work and she's good, has lots of experience, likewise with Siobhan McDonnell - you won't go far wrong with either of those. I'm not familiar with the others you mentioned so can't comment on them. A good makeup artist will be versatile enough to adapt to what you want and if you like they will also be able to advise you on skincare in the run up to your big day.

If everyone else has the same make up and tan she will stick out like a sore thumb. If you're ok with that fine. If not say it to her.

I think there are certain things bridesmaids will adopt but if someone isn't comfortable with eye shadow I really wouldn't push it.

It's more I'm shocked with the stream of..I guess negativity. She won't wear certain types of shoes either and wants a particular type which means the other bridesmaids will prob have to go with her pick (they are choosing together) She wants her hair in an extremely specific way too. I think I'm just a bit shocked. I would wear black lipstick and roll in glitter if a bride asked me

Keane2baMused wrote: » That's what I thought also. I'm not in any way a bridezilla but I kinda foolishly figured my bridesmaids would be pretty happy to go with my picks (within reason obv!). And I'm consulting them on everything, asking their opinions and really taking them into consideration. But I feel like I'm meeting with a brick wall. Not to mention I had said I was doing a half up/ half down style with beach waves and she said today she wants the same? with the addition of flowers! I think that's what I will do good thinking. I will give the MUA a buzz before the trial and explain the situation and hopefully she can show her that you can use extremely neutral shadows and makeup that looks beautiful!
Shybride2016 wrote: » Exactly! To paraphrase my MUA, she'll still look like herself just the best version of herself. Honestly just as a heads up you'll probably have to pay for the trial but I think it would be worth it to put your mind at ease for the big day. I had my own trial a few weeks ago and it was great because I could say straight up what I liked and what I didn't like and also kept it on all day to see how it lasted throughout. I'd ignore what she said about the hair for now as you'll have yourself in knots over her. Again, hairdressers are pros, have seen and heard all bride/bridesmaid issues and can and will navigate through tensions so that everyone is happy. Have you got your dress/bridesmaid dresses yet?
Keane2baMused wrote: » Yep I think the trial s 60 euro, eeek! But you're right it will definitely be worth it. How did you find your makeup lasted throughout the day? Haha that's very true. It's just so alien to me because this is a very chilled out informal wedding so to that in the background is a bit...weird lol. I'm starting my own dress shopping next weekend The wedding is 15 months away so still have a good bit of time to go but I want to get cracking! For the bridesmaids we are getting multiway dresses, just have to finalise the colour! How about you is your wedding soon?
Shybride2016 wrote: » Ah fab, enjoy the dress shopping! You've plenty of time definitely so enjoy the planning & try not to let her get to you. My makeup was lovely, was really pleased with how it lasted the day. Changed the lipstick colour to a lighter one after she'd done it first as it was way out of my comfort zone but was so much better with a pinker colour. Our wedding is two weeks tomorrow! Can't believe it, I've loved the planning and organising but I'm ready for it to be here now as I can't fit anymore planning in my brain haha!

Keane2baMused wrote: » I haven't gotten them yet but I am going to order them from thedaintyyard on etsy! They work out at about 55 euro each in comparison to 150-200 in stores. The quality isn't as amazing as the store ones but they're still good quality and beautiful! A friend of mine recommended them after ordering. You can order colour swatches from them too for free, you just pay 3 dollars something for shipping
