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.
