Why are weddings so flippin' expensive??!!

Have you noticed that whenever you mention you need a product or service for a wedding - the prices get hiked up?

People know your wedding is *the* biggest day in your life - surrounded by your family, his family, friends and on a life-changing occasion - and they know you just 'have to have' what they supply.

It's true is every industry. Including the beauty profession. Prices for hair and makeup services can quickly go into the hundreds or THOUSANDS for you and the bridal party.

Have you considered doing your own makeup on the big day?

What?!  That can't be right?  Isn't this a makeup artist's blog!

Yes, this is my blog and I'm a professional makeup artist, and I don't usually recommend brides do their own makeup on their big day. But this is also the blog of a personal makeup coach.  Women of all ages in the Bay of Plenty take advantage of my makeup expertise, personalised advice and to discover how to use professional techniques in their everyday makeup.

Did you know you can enjoy an interactive makeup lesson by yourself or with your girlfriends and get the smarts to use cosmetics with confidence?  Let me teach you how to use your best products, colours and techniques so you can apply your own, professionally inspired makeup - for your wedding or any occasion. If you get your bridesmaids together for an interactive workshop, you can all get leave makeup mistakes behind and get the skills to do your own makeup on the wedding day.  It makes a great hen's night or girls' night in, plus you'll not only save the costs of booking a makeup artist on your wedding day, you'll also have the experience to look amazing the day after the wedding and beyond.
