    It'll be bold for me considering I don't ever wear makeup.

    More on the side of barely there. Bold makeup makes me look very harsh!

    Bold, I wear glasses so, it needs to be a bit bolder to stand out. Also, I wear a full face almost every day and want to look extra glam for my big day.

    I am doing my own makeup and I am going for a more bold vintage 40s glam look.

    I'm doing barely there. I only wear makeup for work meetings or special occasions and my fh hates it so I want to look natural and not have any bags under my eyes

    I never appreciated my glasses until I figured out that I could go bolder with my makeup to make my eyes pop under the granny-strength prescription lenses! Smiley xd

    Here’s my barely-there look from the trial! I don’t wear heavy makeup ever, so I don’t think I would look like me on the wedding day. I told my HMUA to put on enough makeup to make my skin look smooth (I have minor acne) but not so much that my eyes will be black.
