I am getting married in June. Do you have any tips for flawless photographed makeup?

I would recommend getting a professional, they know what they're doing.

I agree with Becca! Your wedding day will be hectic enough, you shouldn't have to worry about doing your own makeup :) A professional will also have much more expertise in terms of correct makeup for the lighting you'll be in, the weather, humidity, etc.

@Ashley Awww, that's a cute pic 😊
I did my own makeup and haven't got any regrets, but it is true that pro makeup lasts longer.

I say it's better to get it done professionally. Remember your face and hair it's what people are going to see. The pictures will be with you forever and you need to get pampered as well.

Ashley you have a beautiful family!! Congrats! Airemix...I would advise having a MUA to cancel out the stress...at least some of it that is. There are too many variables involved when it comes to photography and if you use the wrong products it can come out in your pics.

I agree with grace and any way with the money you would spend on high quality makeup you might as well get a pro cuz it will get expensive.

I did my own makeup on my wedding day. I couldn't find myself paying someone to use products I already have and already tried and knowing that I will like what I see. But it is your day and would be one less thing to worry about! I, myself love doing my own makeup.

Congrats on your wedding! I know lots of people who do their own makeup and look gorgeous. For me, I hired a MUA because I wanted to sit for an hour and relax because wedding days can be hectic. It's your day and your choice. If you decide to use a MUA, make sure you do a test run before the big day and look at their portfolio. And be sure he or she "gets" the look you are wanting to achieve.

Thanks for all the input and great pics! It is hard to let go of the reigns but I think I will look for an MUA. Thanks everyone!
