Hair/makeup Trial Feedback...kinda hate it

Hi everyone! I had my hair/makeup trial tonight at 7pm (couldn’t coordinate our schedules to work any better...which sucks bc I paid for the trial just to go home and wash it all off). Anyway....I kinda don’t like it. I like the hair, and I am also pinning flowers (small roses) into my hair, so try...
Hi everyone!

I had my hair/makeup trial tonight at 7pm (couldn’t coordinate our schedules to work any better...which sucks bc I paid for the trial just to go home and wash it all off).

Anyway....I kinda don’t like it. I like the hair, and I am also pinning flowers (small roses) into my hair, so try and imagine that. But the makeup.....maybe I’m just not used to wearing this much makeup? It just feels cakey and flat (it is airbrush, but I have dry skin).

Im not a very confrontational person, so I didn’t say anything negative really. But here’s what I’m going to text her to tell her I want changed for the real day:

1) More blush...I feel like my face is very flat
2) More highlighter...again, flat
3) More sparkle on eyelids
4) More color on lips
5) Different lashes??? Idk. They are from Morphe but I feel like they are super long and plastic-y looking. Maybe I’ll buy my own and bring them?
6) Nose contour? I feel like the airbrush foundation color was a little too light and makes my nose look super wide
7) Eyeliner kind of looks wonky? Or is that too picky?

Also keep in mind that it was around 9pm when I took these pictures, so the lighting isn’t the greatest! Please send all and any feedback! I have tough skin, no need to sugar coat anything!

    Hey mmbrake28! I honestly think you look wonderful! Your make up takes on a nice combination of soft glow with a touch of glam! 😍 I certainly agree that additional blush and sparkle on the lids would really help, but everything looks good!! The soft waves and sideswept style with your hair is also so pretty! Relax; everything looks lovely! Smiley shame

    The eyelashes definitely look off esp with the way the eyeliner is like half of them are just missing if that makes sense. The eyeliner is just way too harsh looking...maybe it's just tooo far out?

    A couple of tweeks and it will be perfect. You are absolutely gorgeous though!

    LOVE the hair.

    I think everything does look great- the only area I would agree on that stood out to me was the eyeliner looking a little wonky- could have been a straighter line. But otherwise you look fantastic Smiley smile

    I think it looks good, I wouldnt say flat but i think more blush would help, or maybe more of a highligter? You seem to have a good skin tone so more eye sparkle would look great as well!!

    Omg your hair is perfect! And I think your makeup looks great, but I could see where you'd want a little more "pop" on your cheeks and eyes. Overall though, you look (& are) beautiful!

    I love your hair! I do agree, the eyeliner isn't straight. My fear would be that is as straight as she could make it, so fixing it would be hard. I can't really see your skin in the pictures but it looks flawless! I do understand the airbrush problems though. I have dry/oily combination skin with scarring and airbrush looks AWFUL on me. It makes my scars stand out and clings to my dry skin. I like the lashes and lip color though. I think you could do more blush if you wanted!

    I am really not big on make-up so this whole bridal look where we have to wear a lot so it comes through better in photos - this is hard for me to get the hang of. So I am going to try my best here Smiley smile

    I think your hair looks great. I love this look and it looks so good on you.
    I also think that your make up looks great but this isn't everyday make-up, this is bridal so some adjustments might be needed. And I totally understand not wanting to be confrontational BUT this is why you do a trial.

    1 & 2 - I think a little more highlighter and blush might be better
    3 - If you want sparkle in the eyes, go for it. It seems to be a trend lately that I don't fully understand. But if that is your style, do you girl!
    4 - I think the lip color is perfect as is. It looks great!
    5 & 6 - I like the lashes and you are nuts about your nose. It does not at all look wide. I think you are being way too hard on yourself there.
    7 - The eyeliner does look a little odd, it is not being too picky. It needs to be perfect!

    Honey you look gorgeous! Your face doesn’t look flat at all! The only thing I didn’t like was the lashes and liner so I agree with you there. Maybe get a softer pair of lashes? Or do individual ones?

    I think you are right that the eyeliner looks funny but only when you close your eyes...it looks great when your eyes are open and bright. If you plan lots of those "romantic" photos where your eyes are closed then maybe ask for a slight change there otherwise I think you look great!

    Your hair looks beautiful. Your eyeliner seems...off? And your lashes are very dramatic but they may look fine on your wedding day in pictures

    I think everything looks amazing but you are right about the eyeliner, it is angled down and isnt a clean line. Maybe do a slightly more peachy blush on the apples of your cheeks to make it pop, and maybe a darker color on the outside corner of your crease and pull it down onto the lower lash line slightly? As for highlighter, maybe a small dusting of an illuminating powder on your cheekbones and add a sparkly to the eyelid.


    Aside from that, your skin looks wonderful and the hair is Phenomenal. I hated my trial too, but mine was ACTUALLY bad, you look great!

    Mmbrake28, I think you look absolutely beautiful!!! Your hair is beautiful to begin with so I can't even imagine how extraordinary it looked on your wedding day! Did you end up keeping this look or did you change it? What did you do differently?

    I would love to see the final product and hear about your wedding!!

    Hair is gorgeous and overall makeup too.

    I agree with you about the eyelashes though, they look too long and I don't like the eyeliner at all

    That being said you still look amazing

    Honestly, I think you look absolutely stunning.

    Your hair is amazing.

    I think that all of the things that you listed are valid - but that's just a personal choice of wanting more.

    1) More blush...I feel like my face is very flat - I don't think it looks flat. Maybe more blush or a darker color to make your cheeks pop
    2) More highlighter...again, flat - Again, it looks good but a little more would look nice.
    3) More sparkle on eyelids - Yes, I agree with that.
    4) More color on lips - I love that color on you.
    5) Different lashes??? Idk. They are from Morphe but I feel like they are super long and plastic-y looking. Maybe I’ll buy my own and bring them? - I think they look good.
    6) Nose contour? I feel like the airbrush foundation color was a little too light and makes my nose look super wide - I don't think your nose looks bad.
    7) Eyeliner kind of looks wonky? Or is that too picky?

    I think you look beautiful! However, we are our own worst critics AND you don't want to be paying for something you're not comfortable with. If your face is dry, I'd ask her if she could use a different primer or a primer (if she didn't use one) to hydrate your skin. You don't want your skin to feel tight, especially when you'll be smiling most of the day. Smiley smile

    I agree to have a bit more shimmer on your eye lids and maybe a tad more blush but you look gorgeous. The eyeliner looks right when your eyes are open but can always look different when your eyes are closed.

    I think its SO beautiful. The only thing I would be concerned about is the uneven liner
