Hi BTBs,
How have you been? Think you guys are the newer batch of brides that I have seen on this website in a year. I was carefully following thru the advice from the earlier (mow married) batch of brides. But you guys are equally interesting!
Just my two cents' worth after reading your posts:
- When you go for make up trial, they tend to do you up in lighter tones, less powder and foundation. But on the actual day, they up that volume by at least three times. I had one such experience with an MUA discussed here in this forum during my ROM. When i did the trial, I thought it was quite nice. But on the A.D, it was waaaay toooo much. People did not recognise me. When i saw my photos, I was white on the face and dark from neck down (from this, i think u can tell i am dark-skinned person). So when you go for the make-up trial, tell the MUA to stick closely to the way you would look like on the A.D.
- Your MUA should tie the saree for you. Dun waste money getting an extra person to do it. Not only is it costly, it is too much of a hassle, because your saree-tying helper will be waiting for your MUA to finish and vice versa, and you know at these wedding events, time is very, very important.
Hope this helps!
