to turn up at Bobbi Brown counter, on the morning of wedding, in my wedding dress?

[erinscupcake]

Its just that I won't have time to change and its a lot better value than getting mua, all of whom have been booked up.

Is this a crazy idea? Will wear a hairdresser cloak to stop spills.

I will have a trial with same person first.

you are joking?

Are you trying to get the make up lady to do it for free?

If so, yes, unreasonable. If you're paying her, on you go.

I think as long as you book it's a clever idea! I think I'd change into my dress in the dept. store loo though, jic.

ha ha, I thought of doing this, what I am going to do instead though is get the wedding makeover at the counter beforehand (free) and get the MUA to teach me how to do it myself, I will buy the products so I can still use them afterwards, and then practice on my own in the run up to the wedding. It can't be that hard is my reasoning!

I will be paying for product. Apparently its common practice. Its the bit about the wedding dress I'm concerned about

When I was a bridesmaid buying makeup the Clinique lady offered to do it on the morning of the wedding, for free. I would have done it if I had time.

Not joking!

YABU.
How do you know they will do your make up? You are hardly there as a potential customer are you if you rock up in a wedding dress.

If you are going to do a piss take like this then go in normal clothes. Be prepared to be made up in a way you really don't like.

cantbelieve I said this is common practise. I discussed with make up counter first. I will need to buy products of course.

I went to John Lewis on the morning of my wedding, I was booked in with Benefit but ended up with Chanel as Benefit girl missed her train.

I wasn't in my dress though, I got changed in the hotel afterwards.

I did buy the products so not totally cheeky.

I did what maggiethemagpie is planning. Worked great. I am now a Bobbi Brown convert so I spend a lot more on make-up than I used to, however.

I was typing my comment when you posted erin
If it's common practice why are you asking then?

I've done similar. I've had an appointment at Bobbi Brown and then gone to the hotel to change and within the hour been sat at a restaurant on a do.
I have told the MUA what the do is, what clothes I'm going to be wearing and what style I would like my make up. I've also told her hat stuff I've already got in the range so I'm not buying similar twice.

I don't buy everything just a few key pieces.

Think rocking up in a dress and veil might be a bit extreme though!

Its the dress bit! Like in a full gown. I don't know if I'm being unreasonable about that! Silky, I know. Just wondered if anyone has heard of such a thing.

I think jeans would be safer.

I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and doing this as I'm a bit crap at more than the basics! Benefit do it for free when you buy two products and I need mascara anyway

I think it would be too much on the day in your dress even if nothing was spilt on it, but I do think it would be ok to go and have it done before getting changed. Make and appt though.

God, some people are just incredibly cheap and tacky.

I have an appointment. Have discussed it with counter. Am not a pisstaker as I will need to buy product.

YABU.

What if they make you up to look like a clown?

Just hire someone or do it yourself.

Never heard of anyone doing this. How embarrassing.

Definitely wouldn't go in dress unless it's not very wedding dressy I have images of you looking like your lost! Surely you put your dress on at the last minute! Can you not book an early slot then go back to hotel/home to get dressed.

I would be more worried about something dropping onto the dress, foundation etc

Thanks sue would you care to explain, which part?

You will get filthy, don't be daft.
