Hair & Makeup Trial

Cristy, on July 15, 2019 at 11:15 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 14

So I had my hair and makeup trial yesterday. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good. There was a hiccup with my Amazon order, so I didn't have all of the extensions I wanted/needed. But my stylist made it work for the trial. On the actual day, I'll have even more hair to work with.

I'd like to see a little more definition in the cheekbone--maybe a darker contour blush would help, and a little darker lipstick. Otherwise, I think she did a really good job. What do you guys think?

    I think the added hair you'll have will be really nice because it'll give it some more volume. You look really pretty though!!! The crown is nice

    I think more hair will give you the look you want. Your makeup is very soft and pretty....maybe a bit of highlighting to bring out your cheeks.

    Beautiful makeup! I think it’s perfect but think a touch more blush will be ok. Wow, you have great hair without extensions.

    Thanks!! I got the tiara at a little store in the mall called Icing. They are a sister store to Claire's, but they have a lot more bridal stuff. It was a lot less expensive there than the tiara I was looking at when I went to David's Bridal!

    Yeah, that's what I thought too. She used a really light pink-colored blush. I think a slightly darker color will better define my cheekbones.

    You look very pretty, Cristy Smiley smile

    I think a darker lip will look awesome also!

    Thank you!!

    Yes, I think darker lipstick is the way to go. I told my makeup artist that I would be on the lookout for a good shade--we still have 10 months to the wedding, so plenty of time! I just don't wear full face very often, so I don't have any lipstick of my own. I mostly wear lip gloss, or a clear lip balm, just to keep my lips from drying out.

    You have loads of time to find something!

    Some day when you have time, you could pop into Sephora, Ulta Beauty or somewhere similar and try on loads of different shades and brands to find one you love!

    Personally, I'm a huge fan of MAC lipsticks. They are pricy, however, so long-lasting! My favorite medium-dark shade is twig! It makes your teeth look SO white!

    You look great, I second maybe a darker lip because I feel like that will really make your lips pop! Your hair is so pretty - I agree that the extra extensions will really give you that extra va-va-voom!

    Thank you so much!! That's really sweet! Yes, darker lips, and more hair!! I've kept the extensions in this week, just to see how they feel. I'm loving all this hair! Takes me back to when I was younger, and had more hair naturally. It's been fun playing with it.

    Very pretty! Definitely double what you have in extensions for volume purposes. I get the idea of what she was doing and she did a great job!

    Yes she did do a great job!! I feel like I got really lucky with my hair and makeup ladies. They were both so sweet, and they gave me exactly what I asked for. I was worried about this, because I didn't know anyone in this area, or have any connections. So, I just had to trust that I was getting professionals. They did my trial, and I couldn't be happier!!

    btw, I found them here on the WW vendor search!! Yay for Wedding Wire!
