Wedding Makeup

Some How To Guides

If you’re like me, you will be asking a makeup artist to do your makeup. I’ve posted before about questions for your makeup artist, but what if you want to do your own makeup?

You could pop to a salon in the morning to have your hair done and then return home to apply your own makeup. It would save a few pennies at an expensive time and give a personal touch to your day.

Or maybe you’re a bridesmaid and you would like to help your bride to look her best on your wedding day. I’ve Googled the internet and searched You Tube for the best guides on how to apply wedding make up!

How To on You Tube

You Tube has long since been used for cookery lessons, learning how to play the guitar, painting guides and so many other things. It’s also fantastic for how to do wedding makeup.

I’ve searched for the best ones I can find and listed them below.

I think nothing beats following a person who is putting the make up on before your very eyes. You can pause and rewind the videos as you please and copy what they’re doing.

The ladies I’ve highlighted for you here were fabulous in their clear instructions and were very popular with lots of hits.
