Getting picky with my make up artist

It's your wedding and she is getting paid for a job. Tell her what you like. You can't work a job and just do what you want to do. Tell her since it was a make up trial and not the wedding hey can you go light on the foundation...... do you have hypoallergenic make up.....tell her that you are looking for a natural look. You wont sound controlling. I plan. On doing the same thing with my MUA

Also, you might want to let her know now that the products irritated your skin! So she has some time to make sure she has other products available to use for your big day. You might want to write down your feedback/changes now, so you have it to look at when your with her again on your wedding day. As the bride you’ll be pulled in so many different directions it can be hard to remember all of the things you want to tell people.

Thank you! The things I want to relay are that overall I want less make up, I want to try to use my products where she’s comfortable, and I want to use less overall products of hers. But I don’t know the best way to phrase it to her either before via email or when she arrived.

I would email her to voice your concerns now so she is prepared, and mention incorporating some of your own products so that you look and feel like yourself. I really don’t think it is abnormal for you to discuss changes, thats why she did the trial!

This sounds very stressful and I am sorry that this has happened to you.
Here are my thoughts:
Since you have taken the time to post in here, it means that you must have been thinking about this a lot since your trial. Not only were you not happy with your makeup look, but your skin got irritated. Definitely not something that you want to be dealing with on your wedding day! As written above, the makeup artist did the trial so that you could see her work and figure out what you want for your wedding day. I am pretty sure that the makeup artist will not be offended by your concerns. You could pitch it to her that the makeup irritated your face afterwards, and seemed a little heavy for what you were after overall when you looked in different light. Mention that you’re happy to have her use your products if that helps her to not have to go out and source new makeup, and to be safe. You don’t even have to mention that you want to pay full price - part of a makeup artists costs are related to the expensive products that they have to buy! So she may offer a discount anyway (well, I think she should if she does use your makeup).

It it seems like you are really sweet and are worried about her feelings more than your own - but at the end of the day, it’s going to be your wedding and you won’t want to have to remember not telling the makeup artist how you felt and having irritated skin. I suggest letting her know ASAP so that she can prepare and not bring her makeup that you didn’t like. I could see that being really awkward and leading to an unnecessary drama...

Btw, good luck on your wedding day - that’s so fun that it’s a day away!!

The whole point of the trial is to test it out and see what you like and don't like. I say tell her your concerns! You want to feel beautiful and confident on your day, and if you don't say anything, she won't know how to make you feel that way on your day.

I would contact her and explain your concerns. See if she thinks she can fix those issues with another trial!
