I hired Lindsay to do hair and makeup for my wedding, along with both moms and my bridal party of three. Lindsay did all the hair and it was awesome - everyone was happy. However, she brought someone along to do the makeup whom I had not met, and this is where I had some issues:
1. Why did I pay $40 plus tip for a make-up trial with Lindsay if she wasn't going to be the one doing my makeup on the day of the wedding, and clearly had not consulted with the makeup artist she brought about what we had discussed? I had to find some photos to show the makeup artist.
2. The makeup artist was 5 minutes into my makeup when she asked, "Oh, are you the BRIDE?!" She clearly wasn't paying attention. Also another reason I had the makeup trial - so the makeup artist would know me.
3. The air brushing. Oh boy. I paid $25 extra for air brushing that was supposed to last 12-ish hours. Mine lasted four. The problem was it has been applied much darker than my fair skin (which I didn't ask for) so when it came off I had a big tiger stripe across my breasts above my strapless gown. They did not leave behind anything for touch-ups and I had no makeup in that dark color so I had to mix blush with powder to blend the line in. I had a nice "rosy glow" on my décolletage for the rest of the evening. I would have done better to get matched primer and concealer at Sephora for my body than pay more for the air brushing.
A bit of a disappointment, especially for how much I spent. Lindsay would have gotten 5 stars but for the fiasco with the makeup artist, whom she hired and brought.
