My diy hmu “trial”

Stephanie, on July 15, 2019 at 1:01 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 29
Did my DIY HMU trial for a friends wedding that we attended on Saturday! I wanted to see how both would hold up during a long, outdoor event, and I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the results! My Makeup didn’t melt, and my hair stayed put. I think we found a winning style! (This MU look was pre-lipstick application lol. But everything else was on! What do you all think?

    I've never seen an updo like that! Very creative. Make-up is beautifully natural.

    Thank you! There were a couple Pinterest posts that inspired it, but i threw it together a few weeks ago and just love it! It’s simple, pretty, and quick to do!

    Love the updo! I would personally add some top eyeliner, but you look great so whatever feels the most you! Smiley smile Happy planning!

    Your hair looks absolutely beautiful! Great job!
    For MU I would try to cancel out redness & blend the whole face more, maybe with a different foundation or more of it, or maybe a color correcting product underneath foundation. It might be just bad lighting, but cheeks look red, while forehead does not. I’d also fill in brows, just a bit, but that is personal preference & definitely not a must if you’re going for natural look.

    Thank you!!

    I think a lot of the red was a mix of heat and the fact that this was at the end of the day, but I definitely need a different shade of foundation because this was too light since I’ve tanned a bit this summer! So that is still on my list to search for a better, longer lasting foundation. My brows were filled in a little, but I prefer them to be a little more natural and not too bold!

    If you’re looking for foundation, try Tarte Shape Tape - it’s very long lasting & can build to full coverage. I’ll be using that for my DIY MU & I’ve tested it in all day heat & it holds up great (with a finishing powder on top, of course).
