I did my trial for my wedding make up with a local MUA who a lot of girls I know use. I timed my trial for the day of a big event I was attending, and at the time I felt very ‘off’ – I had gotten a fake tan (trial for the wedding), I had contacts in instead of my usual glasses, and with the makeup as well I looked very different to my usual self. I didn’t love the makeup though, it felt very heavy and the eyebrows were pretty full on. A lot of people have told me that it’s normal for it to look more dramatic than it actually is (when looking at yourself in the mirror, given I’m not usually so dolled up) and that for photos it’ll all look muted down anyway.
I haven’t yet looked into other MUAs because I don’t want to spend the money on a trial until I have another fancy event to attend (wedding is Dec 2021 so we have time) but I don’t know – do I go with the one I found or look elsewhere? I liked the makeup but I didn’t love it as much as I’m hoping.
If I choose someone else, how do I tell her? She never asked me to pay a deposit but she otherwise knows she is booked for our wedding.
