Hi! For info, I don't usually wear makeup, but sometimes I put on mascara or lip gloss. I don't really know how to do makeup so I'm more confident without it. I like wearing it when my friends have done it for me in the past though. I will have my makeup done for the wedding, and I had the trial at the salon yesterday.
I felt uncomfortable with full coverage makeup. The artist did foundation and light contouring and prominent eye makeup. She also penciled in my already defined/dark eyebrows and they looked too perfect. The foundation also made me look slightly tanner - I'm a pale person. I didn't feel like it looked like my face anymore. (I am fine when other people wear full makeup. It's just when it was on me that I felt not confident). I didn't think looking like that would make me feel good on my wedding day. I want to look more like my style in the wedding photos, but I do still want to get my makeup done.
I really want the partial fake eyelashes, some eyeliner, light eye shadow, and mascara on my eyes. Then the color on my lips - the stylist did that really nicely. I'm hoping for some minimal coverage where I potentially have acne on the day of the wedding. My question is if I can have those things done without getting full face coverage and the contouring? Is that possible? For people who know more about makeup, what do you recommend? Or how can I ask the stylist to do "less"? I really appreciate the advice!
