When you need to go for a formal party or a important date, do you do make up and dressing all by yourself or go to the place to have somebody do that for you? Can you do a well done make up by yourself without like long-short eye brow, thick-thin eyeline etc? Please share your experience:-)

I always do my own makeup. Maybe the hair I would get it done by a professional. And when it comes to makeup, I would like to think that I am better than the pros hehe. I have no problem applying the mascara or eyeliners. Unless it is a really good professional I wouldn't trust them to do my makeup lol. I even do my own eyebrows and I can do it better than them anyway. Have a nice day!

I do make up by myself. The only time I went for professional make up was my wedding day. When going for dinner functions, I would make up myself. It's very simple only with face powder, eyeshadow, a bit of blusher and with lipstick that's all. No mascara is used as my eyes are extremely sensitive. Actually even putting some eyeshadow will cause my eyes to water and itch. But for a dinner function which last about 3 to 4 hours, I can stand it. Sensitive eyes I have.

I have at the very least my hair done because that's really the area where I'm all thumbs. I usually can do my make-up so that it looks pretty good but I need help with my hair. The last part I went to I just went to the local salon where I get my hair cut and had the hairdresser style it a bit for me so it will look nice throughout the evening. For more formal affairs such as weddings I have makeup done also. I hope this helps!
