I’m trying to put together a really cool look from head to toe for when I get my bachelor’s degree this winter, and in doing so I realized I wanted to put together a makeup look as well. I have a general idea of what I want it to look like, but I’ve never really worn makeup outside of my mom doing it for me maybe less than once a year. I was thinking of going to a professional with the look I had in mind, but I also thought about buying everything I need and trying to do it at home because it might be cheaper. I figure you guys would be a lot more knowledgeable about this stuff than me and could give me some advice? What’s the process of working with a professional like? Or is that not a good idea?
If you’re only going to do it once and not continue to wear makeup, I would recommend hiring a MUA. Look up their portfolios online and find one whose style matches what you like.
Practice in advance
You will probably think it looks weird if you’re not used to it even if you apply it correctly
If you have the money go to a professional
Go for a very natural look. No glam. No heavy eyes or lips.
