now really worried about MUA- advice needed!

I've been a bit sad..If people have left reviews on Facebook - I stalk there photos to get an idea (shame.)

Maybe worth seeing if theres any examples of their wedding photos? I'll be honest, I'd of never known about photo ready foundation...I just shove what i've got on lol

Did you take any photos after the make-up trial? How did they come out? Could you use a compact powder during the day to get rid of any shininess?

I'm very surprised your mua uses nothing but double wear as it's a base that me and other artists I know would never use for bridal work as it's terrible on camera.

I'm also surprised it's the only foundation she uses on everyone as it's not suitable for dry or nature skins. Most mua's carry lots of different types of foundations for different skin types.

What skintype are you? Maybe I can suggest a good foundation that could be used instead.

To be honest, lots of the foundations that you're not supposed to wear for photos actually look fine on camera, as professionals wont be using direct flash (which is what generally causes the issues) Unless your TOG will be using direct flash, I genuinely don't think it'll be an issue.

Thanks for the replies, yes I did take photos but just on my phone, I didn't even think about flash photography being an issue. I have looked at pictures on her Facebook page but again I think they are just taken on peoples phones. Would using powder on top help to minimise the problem? If so could I just get my MUA to use lots of powder?

If you are happy with your make up artist but not with the foundation, would she be happy if you bought your own foundation and she used that? My make up artist was brilliant and we used all her stuff for the wedding but she did say bring your own make up on the off chance you have a wobble and want me to use some. I am sure people on here or someone on a make up counter who knows make up could suggest a few foundation that may be good for your particular skin and for the camera!

Powder will not make any difference to the flashback at all.. It will just make your skin look worse in the flesh

Thanks Juliet, as a MUA yourself, what would you recommend I buy? Would you be happy if one if your clients bought their own and asked you to use it? Where do you stand on double wear?

This has me worried as we have the same MUA booked...

Sorry :-( I'm still really happy with her and the trial was great I just worry about the foundation she uses as so many people have advised against it.

I would highly recommend you look at Dior Forever foundation - it's their version of Doublewear but it's shearer and camera friendly. Look at shades ending with a zero as these are yellow toned. Try a few shades on your collarbone and check them in daylight - look for the shade that's disappeared. I've had this base in my kit for years and it's beautiful.

Thanks for the reply Juliet, I will mention to my MUA and see what she says.

No problem xx
