When I got married I had the dilemma of doing my own makeup or getting a proffesional to do it.
There are pros and cons of doing either. A professional may not know what you like, and I find some of them tend to push their products on you that they are trying to sell, but the advantage is that you can feel pampered and relax on your big day and not worry about applying your makeup and know that you look stunning.
On the other hand, up till the run up of the wedding I found it better to shop around and test different products until I found what I was happy with, and apply my own makeup. After I came back from the hairdressers me and my chief bridesmaid just sat in my bedroom smoking and chatting, and just applying our makeup, I feel that it was better than having someone to my house or going to a store, as we felt more relaxed
I feel that my makeup looked very nice, but whilst I am sitting here typing this, I am starting to think that maybe I could have had a professional to apply my make up as it could have been nicer.
I think it is personal choice and also depends on how confident you are with applying your own makeup
