Help! Makeup trial gone wrong!

Pictures?

If you post photos we could probably see what "went wrong" or if it was actually fine. Makeup tends to look heavier in person than in photos.

It's easier to help you if you post pictures :/

Don't forget you have to cake on makeup for the pictures or it'll look like you have no makeup on. Did your MUA mention that to you?? The artist could've made the makeup to where it would've looked natural when photographed

Here's what I looked like.

I would like to see a straight on picture. But you do not look like you should be in a drag show at all

@Rachel i actually really love your make up! I think it looks very bridal and natural. Sometimes to get the natural look you have to wear a lot of make up. This will photograph really well too. What part is drag show to you?

You look beautiful! As a woman that only wears foundation powder & eye liner typically, I'm sure I'm going to feel the same as you; but I keep reading that you really need more makeup on your wedding day for the pro pics to be their best.

Personally, I think it looks as natural as it can be (maybe a little dark on the eyes; but again...that's normal for wedding pics).

I love your makeup!! If the eyes are too heavy take off the lashes

It's just way too much. I look yellow and just too different. My fiance was shocked when I came home.... and sadly not in a good way.

I think it looks really good and a slightly darker lip and cheek would look even better.

I actually think it looks good. lol but if you're unhappy I would Schedule another trial

Oh, OP. I seriously thought/was hoping that when you said "drag show" that you would have bright pink/orange cheeks, gold glitter eyelids, blue lipstick and some stilettos.

You are a BEAUTIFUL girl. Wedding makeup is similar to stage makeup, it is going to be very heavy for photos. Honestly, the photos of your makeup do NOT look bad at all!!! But...if you don't like it, then there's always another trial and makeup style! You'll find the look that is right for you.

I think you look great! Do you normally wear much makeup? I think the drag show vibe is common. I don't wear much makeup and felt like it was waaaaay too much but the MUA talked me down and the pictures turned out great. Try to find a happy medium.

It just looks too far from what I usually look like. My to-be father-in-law didn't recognize me

Eyebrows were filled in a lot.

Pictures and lights will wash you out like if you were in a show onstage. So even though the makeup is heavier than normal, you look beautiful! I think you're just not used to it. That said, you do need to feel comfortable with it on your big day, so be sure to convey your thoughts to the artist.

Thanks. I'm trying airbrush makeup this week. Anyone have thoughts on that being different/better?

I actually think it looks great! Remember though, if you go with too much of a natural look you will look washed out in your photos!

I do agree foundation is too yellow. I think what's making you look "different" is the brows. I think they were filled in too thick/heavy compared to your regular brows. But this is far from drag queen!! And all very fixable. You'll be a beautiful bride!!
