    Where do people get their make up done for free for different events? i need it for senior school yearbook pictures? (i need a photo ready face, its called).

    I heard that at mac you have to make an appointment and also spend at least $90. Also where do you get your make up done for graduation night?

    Does anyone know?

    It is menschlich to buy something. I don’t know where you live, maybe there’s a dept. store that does this knowing the girls will not spend big or become regular customers but that they will spend something.

    And caveat emptor: you may not like how it’s done. You really want to go for something subtle.

    sometimes deaprtment stores have special make up events. keep an eye on the papers or websites for that. it may cost a bit , but not as much as when there is no special running.

    another option is to get a makeup person to do a few girls in one location, could be a group rate.

    check around.

    why can’t you do your own makeup???? I did my own for graduation pix and for graduation! I think it’s a waste of $$, but if you want to blow it, you can go to any department store and spend I think a minimum of $50 in order to get your face done. I like Mac, although make sure you get a good person! Sephora also does faces

    I don’t know of any place that’s for free…sorry!

    Sephora does it for free but I think it’s very wrong to have it done without the intention of buying anything.

    Go to any makeup store and use their free samples. Bring someone along who knows what they are doing.

    don’t know where you live but the bare escentuals store in queens center mall will do your makeup for free. (its the company that makes bare minerals makeup). they’re more than happy to do it, cuz its good free advertising for them (your face) and you don’t have to buy anything- but their makeup is really good so you’ll probably end up buying stuff anyways! probably any bare escentuals store will do it also, just give them a call

    red head- i know how to do my make up fairly well but i want to make sure i look good for the picture and not like a clown. i also know that for pictures you have to do your make up a little different to show in the pictures otherwise you look pale. i would like to have some one who knows what they are doing so ill be happy when i look back at my pictures a couple of years from now.

    youre right, you shouldnt spend big bucks on this, therefore im trying to find some where that its done for free or not for a big amount.

    honestly, when i look at the yearbook, i cant tell who got their makeup done. so if you cant find anyone for free, dont waste your money. and if you say you can do your makeup fairly well, u wont look like a clown:) just in order to not looke pale – go for the bronzer!! (or extra blush) but i totaly hear you if you dont want to look pale being that i’m pale ghost myself:)

    and just a last thought – in a year or 2 your anyways going to laugh at how you looked! your face changes and so does your style

    just dont overdue the blush – and you can always edit the picture and put on more blush in Adobe Photoshop. I corrected my picture….
