I feel like she would know that was important.

So for the purpose of this answer, I'm going to assume she's either in her home city.

And she would say, oh my gosh, it's in the middle of nowhere and blah, blah.

So we're assuming you can get to a department store.

Well, I am anyway.

So I want you to find some reference pictures of makeup you like on Pinterest and start a Pinterest board.

Now is not the time to go wild trying a completely different look.

If you are not a bold lip, don't try it for this.

I have made that mistake many times going somewhere important.

And then I didn't feel like myself

you know, touching up a lip, for example, just no, we're going to go with what makes you feel good.

Maybe that's a smoky eye or a winged eye or a lip.

So make a Pinterest board with lots of pictures because if you just go with one reference and sometimes like, you know, people you see like Jennifer Aniston or whatever, you know, your features are totally different.

So a whole bunch of picks so the makeup artist can kind of pick the theme.

Then I would do this.

I do this all the time for myself.

Book an appointment at a beauty counter within a department store.

They will do your makeup and then the cost is redeemable on product.

So it's absolutely genius.

I sent my bridesmaids to the MAC counter.
