Alternative covid Wedding - diy H&mu??

YouTube videos to help with hair and make up. Use the time you have now to practice.
I find a makeup style I like and practice it before I go to work. If someone says something I tell them I’m practicing my HMU

Do you wear makeup at all now?


To keep makeup in place I’d do a primer and setting spray when all is done.
I have used Estée Lauder double wear forever and swear by it. You have to try makeup and see what works best for you. Mascara - better than sex waterproof or regular (this has been my go to for a couple years)
Hair products - anything redken but definitely pillow proof hair primer

View Quoted Comment I don’t really like to wear any makeup

View Quoted Comment Find a light tinted moisturizer, that can be a good alternative to foundation

View Quoted Comment Well my face is clear I don’t need any of that!!!

I’m doing my own hair and makeup too. I’ve been watching YouTube videos and just trying things out. I’ve bought sone travel and sample sizes. Normally I’d say go somewhere like Sephora yo get samples and advice in colors and things, but that depends on if they’re open and I’m not sure how they’ve adjusted due to Covid. Give yourself plenty of time to practice! My biggest issue is I’ll life how I look on camera but in person I feel like it’s too much, of I’ll like it in person but it doesn’t come across on camera, I’m working on finding a good balance.
If you’re thinking about wearing falsies, I’m TERRIBLE at applying them and just found Silly George LinerBond. I love it. Makes it so easy.
Good luck!

I love this! Thank you! For some reason I never thought of YouTube....writing that falsies brand down!

Check out youtube for make tutorials as PP said. Go in person to choose any concealers/foundation/tinted moisturizers. Foundation and tinted moisturizer/BB cream should match you neck not your face. Don't go heavy on bronzer/blush. I find that you can get good make up at TJMaxx for less then half the cost sometimes (not sure what it's like now since it's been closed)

Definitely agree!

Yes I am definitely in the same boat. Our ceremony is 10/30/20 and we are holding off on the reception until next year. I’ve been testing doing my own makeup (hair to come next) and so far for long lasting makeup I’m swearing by a lot of Huda beauty products. I use Rhianna’s foundation but the huda resting boss face (I think that’s what it’s called) will keep your makeup on so well it’s actually a bit difficult to remove lol. I totally recommend it though!
