DIY Wedding Make Up

Do you think the charges of a wedding make up artist (MUA) are over priced? My MUA charged me RM600 for a day and night session. If I were to do a make-over for an event/function, the charges are only less than half of it. Although weddings are important affairs but expenses like these can often prove to be budget busters.

Other than relying on professional make up artists, why not indulge in the following tips to get an “extreme” makeover at a fraction of the price?

If you are on a tight budget and if you have more than one wedding dinner at different locations, finding a reliable make up artist can prove to be an impossible task. Consider the may self-help guides available on the internet. There are many helpful make up tutorials online and I’ve linked a few videos below for your perusal.

For those who can’t doll up to save their lives, fret not, here’s another alternative – Take up a beauty make up course. After surveying the market for the fees on make up courses, I realise that it’s probably more economical and practical in the long run to pick up a set of life skills which could prove to be a lifesaver for me and my girlfriends! There’s an abundance of make up courses in the market and it is worth exploring this option, seeing that the fees is probably only a couple of hundreds more than what you have to pay for just one full day wedding session (i.e. day and night make up). Go for the reputable brands and survey the schools for their training facilities and credentials before you make a decision. Who knows, you might even decide to venture into your own business of providing make up!

Last but not least, dig up your address book for contacts in the fashion industry! They are probably more in tuned with the latest make up tricks and trends, plus I’m sure your friends will not mind to help you out in your hour of need!
