Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

had my hair and makeup trials today!

i really wanted a chignon-type look, so my hairstylist tried 2 different ones. as for the makeup, i plan on having much more color at the wedding, so the light, shimmery pinks will look much better then... i think...

please excuse the dumb faces, especially the one where i'm squeezing my eyes shut!

thoughts or opinions? thanks!!

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

I like hairstyle number 1 better. Your makeup came out really great IMO I would go w/ a lighter shade of blush but that is b/c I don't wear alot of makeup but otherwise it looks really great.

Who did your trial?

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

Both are very pretty, but I think I like the 2nd one a little bit better. You look beautiful.

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

I love hair style # 2. It is very similar to the one I am doing so I guess I am a little bias

. Your make up looks great!! Maybe a little less blush.

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

i agree, the blush looks excessive and maybe too pink in the pictures... which is interesting, because it didn't look like too much of either in person. isn't it strange how pictures pick up different things?

the trials were with denise from angel eyes and angela from racine.

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

I think the makeup looks great and the hair as well. I happen to like the 2nd chignon better. It all looks very pretty and very becoming.

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

It looks terrific! I love the shade of lipstick but I think I agree maybe less blush. I really like both hairstyles alot but if I had to choose I'd go with #1.

I like the make-up a lot, and I don't think the blush will be a problem in pictures. They won't be so close up, so it shouldn't be a problem. I like the hairstyles. I like number one best.

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

I trhink the makeup looks great...and I like the fullness of hair style #2, but I think that the chignon should be a little lower, like in hair style #1....

Re: Hair and makeup trial pics - HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

I like hairstyle #2. In the first hairstyle pictures you can see the black booby pins, probably not a big deal, but I think brown bobby pins would look better because they would blend in with your hair.

I agree with lightening up the blush. Otherwise, I really like the makeup.

thanks, that's reassuring

i'm also thinking that there won't be as much blush to begin with, since i will be tan. maybe i will go back to her for a second trial when i've tanned...

it is airbrush makeup, but applied by hand, not with the gun

the bobby pins are also more apparent because the style was done quickly, just to get the idea... but i think i like #2 better too, as of now...
