Chocolate Brides: Hair Question

[kenwedjam0902]

My FI doesn't like weaves either but he met me when I had one and didn't know the difference so I am still considering it.  But just this week I went to the hair store and found a line of lace front wigs that really look nice and human   I didn't glue it down, I just cut off the lace to the hair line and combed out some the hair around my hairline and presto it looks like I have long hair.  So I am now considering being natural while at the resort so I can go swimming and then put on the wig the day of the wedding to have the beautician at the resort style it.  That way I can get the best of both worlds... But right now it’s only one of the many options because I still have time.   And as for makeup I too love MAC and that’s all I wear but in the summer I can get really oily and my makeup seems to slide off.  Would you be able to suggest any foundations that give good coverage but won’t come off with sweat and not make me look like I just got splashed with baby oil…

I still have time between now and August of next year to decide on something...as far as makeup I use to work for Mac and can do my own..but that's not always fun...I have started pulling some looks that I like as far as makeup goes...but for hair styles...I'm lost....FH doesn't like weaves but I'm tempted to do a trial run to see how one would look and then let him see it...Hell he can't tell when someone is wearing one anyway!

I don't wear makeup often, but when I do, I use MAC.  I, too, have oily skin.  I am planning on using the MAC Fix +.  Have you tried this before?  It's supposed to set your makeup for the day and keep it fresh.

No, I haven't heard of it, is it new?  My MOH was telling me about a primer from another company that was supposed to work really well but I can't remember the name.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I will definitely stop by the MAC counter to see if they have it. My makeup is one of my biggest concerns for the wedding because I have dark marks from acne scars so I want to make sure I am “picture perfect†for the entire day…

Mac Fix works great I used it when I used it with my engagement pics and my makeup was flawless.

You live in TX, so I presume it was hot, right?

@ kenwedjam0902 ~ I really just got into wearing makeup a year ago.  I get eczema really bad in the winter and had an event to attend.  I had 3 large dark patches on my forehead.  MAC's concealer works great.  I can be very dramatic at times (but in a funny way).... I walked into the MAC store, begged for some help.  I walked out with a ton of crap, but my skin looked flawless and practically natural looking.

HI ladies

It's been awhile since I've made any post to this thread but my wedding is over and my split cap weave was a success....I got married in Mexico at Azul Sensatori hotel ....I took a chance and allowed them to do my hair and makeup and I was so glad I did, they did an AMAzzzZING job....I had to help the stylist out with straigtening my top a little but she did everything else and it was gorgeous...my photographer has really great shots of my hair and as soon as I get them I will post but for now this is all I have good luck and don't stress too much about the hair thing just make sure you have a good flat iron
