Makeup in Playa del Carmen

[Yzzel]

Hello girls, 

 

I am getting married in a month and I still don't have a makeup artist!. I didn't expect it to be this expensive (500 usd upwards)! Does anyone has any suggestions of more affordable make up but still good? I have good quotes of Tania Tagle and Angie Velasquez but I haven't found any reviews about them! I'm stressing out and although I know Fernando is amazing I don't know if I can afford him or Styling Trio and MVP is asking me for 2 extra services from my guests (and I cannot commit to it). Any recommendations will be great! Thank you!!!

sara tamargo is about 250 dollars i think, and 150 bridemsaids. and she can do normal or airbrush makeup and she seems great. i ended up booking another stylist at a wedding expo (so got a discount) or i would have gone with her

Thank you Jessi, Sara is unavailable on my wedding day. Any more suggestions? How good it is to have airbrush? Can I just get normal 100% MAC? The airbrush prices are way more expensive and I don't even know if it is worth it!!

I recommend Fernando from The Makeup Pros.  themakeuppros@hotmail.com

 

His team did the hair and makeup for the August wedding I photographed, if you click the link you can see their pictures to see how it looked... and also see who Fernando is!: Gran Bahia Principe Tulum

 

He uses MAC and was fabulous.

oh that sucks. hows your spanish? bodaclick.com.mx is a good website if you can read spanish and write to the vendors - it has vendors, offers etc

 

this is for hair and makeup in the whole cancun area (it does have a catergory specifically for playa del carmen, but a lot of the others will travel)

Costs in pesos are nearly always better than costs in dollars

 

this is the link specifically for playa del carmen 

 

i think normal makeup will look great too if you cant find airbrush. style me (one of the vendors on that website) does hair/makeup for 2200 pesos (160 dollars ish)

Hi Yzzel. I would suggest contacting Aida Tantadell. She did my makeup in May, and was really great. She has a salon in downtown PDC, but will also come to you for weddings. it was $200, and she didn't require any other people to get there makeup done. She is really sweet, though the only challenge is that her English is pretty limited. That said, we had no problem between her English and my broken Spanish. She's a real pro and knows what she's doing. She uses MAC makeup, and I know she does airbrush as well. ( that might cost more than the $200, but I didn't get that.) Her number is: (52) 984 873 3910 Her salon is constitutuyentes and Ave. 10 Good luck!

I'm also looking for a make-up artist, but I wanted to see some pictures of Chinese/Asian brides. I'm Chinese and I know I normally need different style for the make-up to look good, but I haven't been able to find any. Any past brides' suggestions?
