Confused with my makeup look

Meghan, on November 3, 2020 at 12:06 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 38
I had my makeup trial and loved how it looked but so confused with how I look in pics! I rarely wear makeup so everyone was thrown off when I saw them. Not that it was bad but I just looked different. They thought the eyes were dark but I’m the pics I took in the car I LOVED how much lighter in looked then when we went to take save the date pics. Know it probably has to do with lighting but do you think I should redo the trial (for $140) or just ask the makeup artist to go a bit lighter day of wedding?

Thank you! 💓

    I think you look lovely and I personally wouldn't waste money on another trial if all you want is one minor change.

    Honestly i think you better without makeup!! you are so beautiful! all i saw i was fake eyelashes in the car pic.. like that's where my eyes were drawn too. instead of your face as a whole... but that's just my opinion

    I think your makeup looks great! I don’t think you need to waste your money doing another trial. If you want your shadow a little lighter, just tell your MUA. But again, I think it looks great as is.

    My sister and I tried on different lashes and totally agree that I should go with a less dramatic look! Thank you so much 🤗🤗

    Overall, I think it looks nice, but agree the eyelashes seem a bit bold, even for a wedding look, and the brows seem a bit dark and overpowering in the engagement photo. You are gorgeous, with beautiful natural features, so I think if you can ask her to tone it down a little, you'll still have a lovely "wedding look" while not going too far from your natural beauty. Congrats!

    I think it looks good but you are a natural beauty so maybe just telling her to go lighter on the eyes and less dramatic lashes.

    I think because your engagement picture is a bit on the darker side, it makes your eyes look a bit darker than in the car picture where you have a lot of natural light. I actually think your makeup artist did an amazing job! Maybe with a thinner line of eyeliner and less "glam" eyelashes it would be more of what you're looking for. Either way, I think you look great!

    I think you look so beautiful, with and without makeup!
    In my opinion the lighting does have an effect of how your makeup looks, so I would say don't spend your money to do another trial, but do agree to mention to your artist the day of stick with the same look that was done only to do it a bit lighter.

    Woah you look completely different. I wouldn't spend more money on a trial. Just tell him/her that you want a more natrual look

    You look gorgeous both with and without makeup! If you loved how it looked in the car then I think just lightening the lashes (which is probably where the darker bit is coming from - it can create a black line at the base) should do the trick.

    Looking at the actual color of your eyeshadow, the highlights already look pretty light, so I think your assessment in person is accurate that it is a good pick!!

    I totally agree with Jessica! Beautiful in both...I don't think you need to change the eyeshadow - just a tad less dramatic lashes, and you'll be fine. I think the photo lighting is a bit darker anyway, and that's probably what's happening. I think the MUA did a great job of accentuating your natural features, and i don't think you look completely different....just a bridal version of the same beautiful lady!

    I love the makeup look, you look great! I think it’s very up to par for bridal makeup, which is usually slightly more dramatic for photography purposes. I definitely wouldn’t do another trial if anything I would just ask for a tad lighter the day of!

    I like the look but maybe just do eyeliner on the top water line? I think the liner on the bottom made your eye too dark? I dont think you spend more money. Maybe play around with your makeup at home to see.
