Wedding Makeup: FREELANCE WORK!

Hello!! lovely ladies so i know its been awhile right? if you keep up with me on Facebook you would know i just got done for the year at uni and so I have been SUPER busy+stressful these past couple of months thankfully im all done for the year and ready to dive back into updating my pages for you all woohoo!!, so moving on today I wanted to do a write up on my first hand experience as a Makeup Freelance as i did promise to give feedback on this on my Youtube Page.

This makeup was done about 2 months ago, when i was asked to do a job for a cousin of mines friend  that was getting married, at the time i was super nervous because it was my first ever proper attempt at professional makeup and i dont know about you ladies but to me a wedding is like a HUGE deal and being a NEWBE i really did feel a tiny ounce in the deep end, needless to say i am a girl who loves challenges and so I agreed to doing the job, in total i had to do a bride and 5 bridesmaids makeup a total of 6 ladies and WOW! it was full on from start to finish!, leading up to the job i did have a lot of practice and preparation for it which i might add is really helpful specially if your new to it all, on the day of the wedding i only managed to grab a couple of pictures of the bride and the matron of honor as you will see below, I  will also try to put as much info on products used that i can remember below the images.
