If all goes as planned, I'm going to be getting married in a small town. A VERY small town - a good two hundred miles away from any major city and even quite a drive from a minor city.
I'd love to be able to find a great MA to do my makeup for the big day, but I don't think it's in my budget as I'll have to pay for a LOT of travel expenses in addition to the normal fees.
But, I was wondering if it's possible to perhaps get a lesson from an MA on how to do my makeup myself? I'm ok at makeup application (I'm getting better thanks to specktra!), but not nearly to the skill level that I'd like. I would really like a sit down to learn about what products I would need to buy, areas of application, lighting to consider, color coordination, how to best cover blemishes... there's so much I need to know! I'd of course be willing to pay for the MA's time.
Would asking for something like this be unreasonable? Would MAs feel like they are giving away trade secrets? I'm a research scientist by profession and am definitely not looking to get into the makeup business, I just want to look good in my wedding pictures!
I couldn't find anything like this in a quick search, but if this has been discussed before please link me! TIA!
