From the day I began wedding planning with my fiancé, I was firm on two things:

1. I would be doing my own makeup, aka my everyday “no makeup” look
2. I’d wear a traditional wedding dress from my culture, which is not white (white is typically the color of mourning)

I’ve spoken to a handful of friends and family members who’ve asked how wedding planning is going and are very surprised that I won’t have a MUA…the “oh okay…” sort of surprised. I explain that I want to look like myself on my wedding day: no eyeshadow, no false lashes, etc.

Though I won’t be changing my mind and trying to find a MUA at the last min, it definitely makes me feel like I’m doing something “wrong” or something that I’ll regret. Any other brides here who are doing their everyday makeup look for their wedding day?

EDIT: to add more context, I have very clear skin and I try to do my everyday makeup in a very conservative way to enhances that (aka light coverage foundation, color corrector, concealer, setting powder, blush, and mascara)
