Need advice please

Tia_Fred, on August 8, 2018 at 7:36 PM Posted in Planning 0 17
Ok so I got my make up and hair trial done and I hated the make up it was packed on i wanted a natural look and I didnt get it, it looked real oily to and my hair fell out with in mins of leaving my hmua. So my question is do I need all that contour and cover up whatever it is on cause i hate it I don't want fake eyelashes either I want to look natural. The pics qbove are me on my normal days and the other one u can plainly see that's when she did my hair and make up. She made me look like i was fake and I don't want to look like that on my wedding day.

Need advice please 1

    Honestly, I love your make up look. I’d just lose the lashes. I cant see much of the hairstyle. But I think you look great (the lashes are a bit much).

    I think the makeup looks nice. When I first look at the picture, I thought it was a natural look. The only thing I would change would be a brighter lip color.

    I feel like the make up isn't that bad. Cant see the hair but just talk to her about what you want

    The makeup looks great she just did the brows uneven, one needs to come in closer to the nose to be more similar to the other. Lose the lashes if you dont like them. Theres so little makeup you can put on before you start to look a little different. Its to highlight your natural beauty and it looks like she did her job well. As far as the hair as pps said its not much of a style

    I like your makeup a lot actually. You have to think about what it will look like with professional photography not just your eyes or cell phone camera. I would do a little more color on your cheeks and make sure your brows are even. Other than that you looked very pretty.

    I thought the first pic was WITHOUT makeup Smiley smile

    Like others have said, lose the eyelashes and I'd have her do a little more brownish liner so your eyes stand out.

    If you feel oily maybe ask for a powder finish or a primer before hand?

    It actually looks pretty natural to me. I think it may be because you're not used to wearing make so it feels heavy on the skin. I think lashes are a nice addition, but see if she can go with some that are a bit more natural. Otherwise, I like the look. She might need to curly the hair on the sides a bit tighter and add spritz so they don't fall so quickly.

    I also thought the first picture was your "before" except the lashes clued me in. It doesn't look like she trimmed them to fit your natural eye curve. I think lashes in general look good for pictures but they have so many different types so if you don't like those you can have a different style. My HMUA used individual lashes which still helped accentuate my eyes but looked more natural - perhaps you'd like those better?

    I think you should have a bit more blush and a darker lipstick. If you felt the makeup was oily or looked oily, just use blotting papers or a loose setting powder to help with the oil/shine.

    Agree with others about the makeup- I don't think you look over done at all. I would do an actual lip color though. You can also have her trim the lashes or apply individual lashes like someone else suggested (my HMUA did this). I have oily skin and I oxidized after a couple of hours with my makeup trial so I just had her use my own personal primer the next time (Hourglass Mineral Veil). It's pricey but it worked amazing. I emailed my HMUA (per her request) the day after my trial to give her feedback. and the wedding day went amazing! I loved her!

    Yes this makeup looks great! If you’re not a daily makeup wearer I can see how you feel it’s to much but trust me this looks very natural apart from the lashes! Have them apply shorter lashes and I think you’ll look great on your wedding day! Be confident and rock it! This is the one day that you’ll regret if you’re not in makeup! Lots of photos!!

    I think your make look greats actually. It doesnt look fake at all. I'm a mascara/lip gloss only girl normally. You could just not wear fake eyelashes at all if you dont like them. I'd put on z teeny tiny bit of lip color but that is it really. I think you look great and not overly makeuped.

    I mean, you look really pretty. But if you're anything like me (and it sounds like you definitely are), you would definitely have to go with less. Just to make you feel comfortable. I'm just doing basic eye stuff, eye liner, mascara eye shadow, and maybe a tad bit of Blush just so I don't look washed out in my pictures. Nothing much, but definitely more than I have on on a daily basis which is no makeup. Lol. Just remember, you will want to feel comfortable on your big day so go with what you feel is best. ☺️

    I totally know how you feel. I went through the same situation where I hated the makeup and I ate the trial money and found someone else. Anyway as for your look i think you look fantastic. However, if you’re looking to make it a little more natural, you may want to lose the lashes. You could ask for mascara, or ask her to use less lashes and place them towards the end of your eyelids which will give a nice effect. Or if it’s in your budget you should look into lash extensions. They are really natural looking (just don’t get them too long -try a medium length). They also look more natural if they are made with mink rather than synthetic. Ps you can always find a groupon for eye lash extensions. I am getting extensions for my wedding. My best friend did it for hers and it looked perfect no mascara needed!

    Your concealer and highlights look perfect, just add some color to your lips and maybe ask the makeup artist to use a little less eyebrow pencil. If your not used to eyebrow makeup you might start to feel overwhelmed. Hope this helps. Your going to be a gorgeous bride. And good luck with everything
