Hot take: The 'natural' look at my sister's wedding in Charleston was definitely not natural.

I was a bridesmaid and the makeup artist did this thing where she injected a tiny bit of filler into everyone's lips before applying color, calling it a 'prep step'. My lips felt huge for two days but honestly looked amazing in photos. Has anyone else had a pro sneak a mini procedure into a regular makeup session?

Wow, that's honestly shocking they just did filler without asking. @the_mason is totally right about crossing a line, it's way past that. It's one thing to use a strong product, but injecting something is a whole different level that needs clear permission. These pros are playing doctor without a license and banking on us being too polite to complain in the moment. Makes you wonder what else they're doing that we don't know about.

Wait, they just did that without asking first? That's wild. I had a makeup artist for a work event add some kind of strong acid peel to my skincare step, called it a "glow activator." My face was bright red and stung for an hour, but I did look airbrushed later. It feels like they cross a line when they don't tell you what's really happening.
