First makeup trial vs. actual wedding day look

Mrs. C, on May 13, 2019 at 11:06 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 33
Hello everyone! Not many people do these sort of posts and I thought it would be helpful to see a beforehand and after of the changes that we
made based on what I did and didn’t like in my makeup trial and how the final product turned out. I know it can be confusing in your makeup trial to even know what ask for if you want something changed. I wanted more of a shimmery eyeshadow and more golds and browns than what was used in the trial. Also I chose different eyelashes because I wanted them to look more natural. These are just a few of the things we changed. It’s also ok to not know what you want. That’s what the makeup artist is for. She helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and it’s ok to be picky as well! It’s your wedding day after all and you want to look your best! Just wanted to give you brides some encouragement and for you to know you won’t seem like bridezilla to be specific and ask for what you want. I feel like that is something I struggled with during the first hair and makeup trial until I realized I am paying for this so it should be exactly what I want! Don’t be afraid to tell them if you aren’t happy with your look! Anyways, good luck to all you upcoming brides! I hope your wedding look is exactly what you dreamed of! ❤️

    What a great idea and a great post! I love the changes you made to your eyeshadow. The shimmery eyeshadow softened the whole look and made it feel more bridal. You look beautiful! Congrats!

    Girl I understand! I was like “why am I paying for this twice?” But I realize now how worth it a trial was to help me figure out exactly how I wanted to look! Can’t wait to see how your look turns out! ❤️

    Aw, thanks! I actually want to ask, do you know how long the eyelashes you ended up with are? At my trial, the makeup artist put pretty long ones on, which I think look really unnatural, so she agreed to bring a shorter length the day of, which is this Saturday.

    Since you asked, first pic was the initial makeup look, third pic was when I asked her to give me slightly more natural eyeliner (and after she did my hair). We’ll see what happens on Saturday! I hope we can do something a little more natural because FH really hated how much makeup I had on. He’s not used to it. 🙄

    So I think she ended up trimming mine up a bit. Also she changed the brand of eyelashes she used on me. Other than having individual lashes glued on (which would take probably hours) the most natural looking brand of eyelashes is called Kiss! Maybe ask if she can try those!! You look gorgeous by the way! 😍
