Micki,
I'm not sure if I agree but it does depend on where you plan to go when the makeup has been applied .
Professional makeup girls tend to be too heavy handed when they do wedding makeup , too much makeup doesn't photograph well in daylight but it is marginally better than no makeup at all .
The best solution is learn to do it yourself , I've finally struck a happy medium between applying it for everyday and a night out . The art is how little not how much .
