My wedding picture
Good day everyone
Wedding are regarded as the most important event in one's life. is a once in a life time celebration, Everyone want to look to their best that day especially the celebrants and I am not exception to that, I love make-up. one of my dream desire is to become a make-up artist but since my husband was not comfortable with it I decided to let ago of that dream but even at that I still love looking good and simple always. In school I do practice make-up on students I carve eyebrows in hostel at cheaper rate.
Anytime I'm alone I imagine how my wedding will look alike how beautiful I will look with my makeup and wedding gown. I wanted everything to be special because it is my unique day. I tried putting a smile in that photo Even though I'm not happy, I never like heavy makeups I prefer it simple and amazing, when I started planning for my wedding I never wanted any makeup artist I wanted doing my own makeup myself but unfortunately family and friends won't let me decide on my own without interfering with my decisions....I kept hearing brides don't do makeup for themselves. My sister who stays in Dubai with her husband kept telling me on phone not to try making myself up on my wedding day so I harken to her words because I love and respect her so much, my husband never had any problem with makeups apart from eyelashes he detest it so much. I talked to him about the makeup artist for my white wedding he agreed and he was willing to pay but for the services but I didn't know of any makeup artist because where the wedding will take place is at my husband's place, so I started looking for one i got the makeup artist number through the wedding dresser though the price for the makeup was expensive 30 thousand naira (Nigeria currency) she was among the people who encourage me not to do my makeup myself.
On my traditional marriage I decided to make myself up and I was looking good and happy but my friends were not happy with me because of that, they frown at it but my mom and aunties were happy about it. My mom never like heavy makeup she prefers me doing it myself and she advice me not to allow any makeup artist to make me up.
Unfortunately I went with the advice of my big sister, the wedding dresser and my friends. The day of my white wedding the makeup artist came very early to the hotel room where I Lodge he started the makeup and finished up about 3 to 4 hours at a time I got so tired of everything especially the too much applying of different cosmetic in my face with different foundation, powder, eyeshadows...my friends were so happy with my look and I thought everything was perfect after the makeup I looked myself on the mirror what I saw wasn't really my face but another different person I looked bad, it was bad than what is in the photo I display up there. I felt so disappointed and the time for the wedding was against us, My husband was calling on phone for me to start coming. We were warned by the priest that will wed us of late coming if not the wedding will be cancelled, so there was no time for me to change the whole makeup to me desire I felt bad after wasting so much time and money this is what I got I mumbled. I remembered my mom warned me against it...I was so unhappy with my looks I yelled and complained bitterly even my husband and mom was not happy with my look but my friends kept telling me it was good even when it wasn't.
On my big day i ended up pleasing them and displeasing myself just for them to be happy and for what they will say, I feel unhappy anytime I remembered my wedding, till date I feel bad and I hate to look at my wedding pictures just because of the makeup... i regretted why I listen to them even my sister regretted the advice she gave me.
What happened taught me a lesson not to listen or mind what people will say. Now I only do what makes me happy and comfortable regardless of what people think or say, moreover you can't please everyone.
