As promised--2 Makeup Trials with Pics!

I had one trial yesterday with Maureen Pedala. She is so fantastic. She airbrushed my foundation and put on the individual false eyelashes. It stayed on all night and was still going strong when I woke up this morning (I was a bad girl and fell asleep with it on). Maureen is such a sweetie--she not only turned down my tip but also did a quick makeover on one of my BMs who came with me. The makeup looked great but it was a little weird to be out in the daytime with false eyelashes and lots of eyeshadow. My BM said I looked like a high price escort--at least I'm high price, not standing outside the Lincoln Tunnel

Today, I had a trial with Chante at the Bobbi Brown counter at Barney's. She'd been recommended by a LIW gal and an attorney I worked with. Funny enough, she has worked on a lot of the brides who've picked Perceptions Photography. I liked that the makeup was something I'd feel comfortable wearing even during the day, but I'm not sure if it's 'dramatic' enough for the wedding.

Let me know what you think:

FH said he also liked Maureen's better, but he said that he thinks both of them 'have too much going on with the eyes.' I find this funny since I don't even have on false eyelashes today. Does he get an opinion on this? I want him to think I'm pretty but I know I won't think I look my best without a strong eye.

Either way, you'll be in good hands. I can't decide which one I like better but you look gorgeous in both.

I've got 2 more trials tomorrow (I couldn't schedule it any other way unfortunately). I'll be sure to post more pics. I might even get fancy and add a poll or something

I agree with the others, #2, but then again the picture is much clearer than #3, so maybe that is making everyone's decision easier..
Either way, you look great in both

You look pretty on both but your makeup with Maureen Pedalla is more dramatic. The second one is a more natural look. It depends the look you are going for. I like the one with Maureen Pedalla

So pretty!!! I like #2 the best... it's like the way you do yours, but glammed up a few notches... it looks great!

I think the trial with Maureen looks very similar to your normal makeup look, so that's probably the best one for you so far. The second trial looks a bit too natural for the wedding day. Your eyes look really good in the second picture.
