Your wedding day is a sensory experience that represents your unique style and shared aesthetic as a
couple. Choosing the venue, music, food, and other details can be overwhelming, so some try to simplify or save
money by doing it themselves. Bridal makeup is one of the few tasks that should be left to the professionals. Even if
you’re a “no makeup” person, doing your own wedding makeup can cause more trouble than it’s worth.
