Makeup Magic

So it's come down to this: either your guests have to bring their own napkins to your wedding, or you hire that awesome air-brushing makeup artist to do your wedding day face. Yeah, that's what I thought too, Grandma MiMi can wipe her mouth on the table cloth.

I kid. But truly, budget is an issue for a ton of brides and grooms out there. Sometimes you can't have it all! So if you've decided to skip out on the spa-like treatments of hair, makeup, and nails in favour of chairs so your guests don't have to squat at dinner-- then you're a DIY-er and Makeup Geek can help!

This website is pro, I kid you not. They have tutorial videos for almost any type of makeup you want to learn how to achieve. Their wedding-day video is really great. Take a gander!

Here are a few other tutorials that aren't specifically wedding related, but still appropriate for nuptials!

A Little Artistry

Time to sneak some home-grown prairie love into your Friday, ladies and gents! I love doing features on local Winnipeg wedding vendors. I live vicariously through not only the epic services they have to offer, but the knowledge that they are the sweet hidden gems in my hometown.

TEARS, SNIFF. Moving swiftly onward, because we have just the person for you today!

Though it's often one of the things many brides tend to 'leave to the last', having a makeup artist on site for your wedding (as well as the photography session afterward) can be a super-godsend! Touch ups will be required, and smudgings/smearings will occur a lot more often than you think. (Especially if it's a hot outdoor wedding.) And there is definitely one person I can recommend to have on your team. Yes, it sounds like a movie set, but it basically is on your wedding!)

The Artistry of Makeup

Some of us are... less than talented when it comes to applying makeup. Unless of course, you were going for that 'just-woke-up-in-a-bath-tub' type feel. For those of you, congratulations! Now brush your teeth with a bottle of Jack, 'cause when you leave for the night, you ain't comin' back.

For the rest of us who need a little help (okay a lot, who am I kidding), don't worry-- you're not alone. And you know what? Lavish Artistry in Winnipeg can help you through the horrors of wedding-day makeup application!
