    it depends if you are able to get the look you want yourself or not :) and if you are incredibly fussy about how you want to look!

    i am a beauty therapist and will be getting someone to do my hair for me cos whatever i do wont stay after i step out the door, but nobody could come up to my standards on make up!

    As I normally put make up on and look like I've do it in the dark, its a fairly big MUST for me LOL.

    The lighting in our new place isn't as good as the old place, I always go out with loads more blusher than I need these days, we could make a coco double act.. downlighters are great however they need to be in the right place, and they aint!

    I'm going to get someone to do it as I wouldn't trust myself to get it right on the day. Not sure how to find someone though. Personal recommendation? I worry as well that they'll make me look a bit too artificial but if the alternative is stressing that I can't get it right I know which is the lesser of two evils!

    I'm doing my own make up but I'm getting my nails done the day before and hair done on the day.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    Hi,

    Where abouts in the North West are you based? I would recommend the lady I had. She has several different ladies that come round and they will do a trial before for the Bride. She was really good and she also did one of the ladies make up who was on Four Weddings (I watched the episode but couldnt really tell :rolleyes:)
    Im in Liverpool btw
