I recently had the pleasure of working with a makeup artist for my vow renewal, and overall, it was a positive experience. I had booked her services for myself and six others, incl...uding four bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law, at a total cost of $1200. I also had a bridal trial, which was an additional $140. It’s important to note that I was running late to the trial, so I tipped her an extra $20 to compensate for any inconvenience.
During the trial, we came up with a look that I was very pleased with. However, on the day of the vow renewal, I felt that she was slightly rushed. Unfortunately, this left me feeling a bit shortchanged in terms of receiving the full bridal experience that I had hoped for. It seemed as though the makeup application was swift, almost as if it was put on and they took off in a hurry.
Despite this, I cannot deny the quality of the makeup itself. It was beautifully done, and I was delighted with how it turned out. The makeup lasted throughout the entire event, staying flawless all night long. 3 of bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law were also very happy with their looks, which added to the overall experience.
In summary, while I wished for a more leisurely and indulgent experience on the day of the vow renewal, the results were stunning. If you're considering her services, rest assured that the end result is impressive, but a gentle reminder for a relaxed pace might enhance the experience.
