First makeup trial vs. actual wedding day look

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.

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! ❤️

First picture is makeup trial

Last 3 are my actual wedding look!

    Oops, I just realized you asked someone else to post their pics, sorry for hijacking that thread!

    I’m reeeaaally tempted to have her copy your complete eye look, including the shadow. It’s just stunning.

    Girl don't apologize! I love seeing hair and makeup trials and then the finished product! You can totally steal my look if you want! The eyeshadow would look lovely on you because you seem to have fair skin and light eyes like me! Smiley heart

    How did you end up liking your hair down? Did it stay the entire night? I’m really undecided between an updo and my hair down.

    My hair was not completely down. It would have driven me nuts pushing it out of my face all night. This is how it was at the hair and makeup trial and I will post a few pictures of how we changed it a bit. I only have some "sneak peek pics" from my photographer but I will post a few of those too. Anyways....the only thing I would ask you to consider is if you are having an outdoor or indoor wedding. Mine was in a barn (originally I wanted an outdoor ceremony) because it rained so hard. I wasn't expecting the rain to be much of a problem but it was literally 90% humidity all day. So with my natural curly hair that frizzes when I walk outside in the humidity, it could have gone better. She had to recurl my hair about 3 times because they just turned to frizz. Before deciding on an updo or a half up half down look, just take those things into consideration. I am not a big fan of updos on myself which is why I just went ahead and did the style I liked but if you like updos and you are having an outdoor wedding, I would highly recommend doing an updo.

    Here are some pics of my hair trial:

    Thanks for the pics and the insight! I do have the ceremony outside but the reception is inside. I as well have naturally curly hair, but won’t have anyone to recurl if need be. Thank you!

    This is a great idea for a post! I've been in a few weddings and have gone to the makeup trial and nothing was ever changed and I've been nervous about mine because I don't even know what I really want! You're makeup for the wedding day is on point!

    Thank you! I hoped it would be helpful! I would highly recommend going on Pinterest and showing your HMA some inspo pics and letting her go off of those. Then after the trial is over, have her take notes of things you like and things you want to change/don't like about it. That was VERY helpful when my HMA did that for me! And she was very thorough! Smiley heart

    NARS liquid matte lipstick color “Under my thumb”. It’s kissable! You can get it at Sephora! 😊
