Getting Make-up Done Professionally

I'm in a wedding on October 8 and I want to have my make-up professionally done. The only person I have ever trusted to give me a full face of make-up is the bride, and I don't think she'll be available that day. :-)

Do any of you have reccomendations?

  • Sephora? I love that place!
  • The girls name I gave you for hair also does make up. Heres her scheduling website again. https://www.flashappointments.com/client/lgn/launch.cfm?busId=4964
  • I've gotten mine done at the MAC counter @ Valley West Mall a few times for special occasions.  They charge $50 but you can use that towards product if you'd like.

  • I got my wedding makeup done at Bella in Valleywest mall. I don't remember exactly what it cost but you could put that toward makeup which was nice. I think it was around $30 but that was 2 years ago

  • I'm almost positive my salon does professional make up.  It's Salon 86.  I recommend Dawn or Jennifer.

  • For my wedding, I got it done at Sahar's.  Can't remember the price.  It was all right - nothing stellar.

    This guy, Patrick, is in the east village. He's awesome! He also has a hand in the manufacturing of the products he uses, the prices are really reasonable, and he will make you look amazing, plus he's really fun and I just had a great overall experience. PLUS it's local, so you can support a local resident/artist :) Also, I know some of the pictures on the website are over the top, but he did my makeup and the makeup of a couple of friends, and he is very good at lower-key makeup too.

    Patrick is awesome!  He used to work at MAC at Valley West Mall and was friends with my ex.  I didn't realize he had his own place, but I've seen the work he does for weddings and such and he's just amazing.

  • I had my wedding makeup done at MAC, and loved the way it turned out.  I don't wear a ton of makeup, so natural-looking was important to me.

    I scheduled with Patrick today! His portfolio is awesome and he sounded super nice on the phone. I cannot wait!

    I think you already picked someone, but Dawn did my make-up for my wedding, you can see the pictures on FB, but she did a wonderful job!
