Help with Make-up color choices - pics included w/ poll
Original post by KerriJohnS
I had an AWFUL MU trial experience... and ever since then i've been thinking about doing my own make-up. I'm still not sure I'm going to do that but I definitely want to select my own colors and look for it. So I took some pics of 2 occasions I did my MU. The lighting quality is not ideal... sorry for that.
My choices are from either a Blue or Purple family... bright cold colors... they can really make your eyes POP which I love. My BP colors are Royal Blue and I don't want to be too matchy matchy. So this color family is on the table...
Or
Bronze and Maroon colors. These ones have a more sedued (I can't figure out how to spell that word) effect.
I don't know which to go for. Which do you think would be better?
I will have a totally different color hair for the wedding.. it will be brown with LOTS of very blonde highlights. (I sooo miss my highlights!) And I didn't fill in my eyebrows for the bronze pics.
SCROLL DOWN FOR PICS....

the really pathetic part is that I DELETED Their first comment! that's the second comment! The first one said that they would send me pics. Then they left that second one after I deleted the 1st one. I never got any pics from them. But I did just post a whole bunch more. how is it that my pores are actually much more visible AFTER the make-up is on? I put my b4 pics on there too! yea that vendor is nuts. Sad too because I thought they were sweet... even after I didn't like the makeup.... but the more little things they do the worse they come across.

I TOTALLY agree! the same thing happened to me. if i wanted a vendor comment I would have posted the pics on the vendor board and not on the BRIDES board! It is unprofessional. And for the record... so is insulting any bride who paid for your services! I got an FM about another bride with horrible insults in it. If someone is paying you and they still paid you after your job was done... then get over it and stop harrasing them! Not everyone is going to like what you do. That's just the way it is. Even the BEST of the BEST MU artists will not have 100% satisfaction with every single customer! but honestly... let the pics speak for themselves.

how do you do that????? your eyes look so nice!!!! I wish I could figure out how to do my eyeshadow like that!!!
I really can't get a good sense of what the blues/purples look like because of the lighting. I like the bronze/maroon shadow on you, but remembering what you said about us brown eyed chicas, I really want to see what the purple looks like on you!
Aww thanks! years of practice! I've always been into make-up. I use a base though and a brush instead of the wand thing that usually comes with the shadow. And I use all MAC products. Also, I like very thin eyeliner - like ultra thin.
I'm going to get better pics of other make-up as I do it and I'll post them when i get a good collection. I'm leaning towards the blue and purple. It's hard though. This one day i did this blue color and I loved it... my MOH and I agreed that's what I should do for the wedding. then this other day I did the bronze/maroon colors and my MOH and I were like.. hmmm no maybe I should use these colors. I took some pics. The next time I did a bright color (which was last night) I took more pics. I need better pics and better lighting. I'm going to get this right! ha ha ha! For now I voted for the blue/purple colors. Ahh the saga continues.
Oh and I added more pics to the MU trial. Please take notice that my eyes and eyebrows don't match eachother. I even tried as hard as I could to look somewhat pretty in the pics... I was trying to smile and stuff. Nothing worked too well though. ha ha ha LOL!

HA HA HA!!! YES IT WAS!!!!!!!! if you look at my left eye (which in the pic would be the eye on the right) the lashes were attached to my eyelid instead of my real lashes. I had to take them off bc they were hurting me sooo bad! Everytime I blinked they were pulling my eyelid skin. I can see EXACTLY what was wrong from this pics. I also know what to look for. But if you look at one of the pics where I'm looking straight into the camera you can see how it was attached to my lid instead. Also the liner was just a mess all around. Probably bc she tried to cover up the lash marks bc they were on my lid so she had to draw the line above that and fill in the dots.

Re: Help with Make-up color choices - pics included w/ poll
You know.. they say they sent me pics... and made a point about a month ago to tell me they were sending pics... and then on the 5th they wrote a comment that they sent me pics.. i never got anything from them. I think she is just insane! And wanted to leave a comment for all to see. Should I delete this comment too or just leave it? I'm leaning towards leaving it becuase it just makes them look foolish. What do you think?
Ha ha ha.. they are probably reading all this right now and FUMING! I'm probably going to get more commetns and FM from them now!

Ha ha ha... so far I'm leaving it. You are right though. Why delete it if they left it? They obviously want to have a comment on my album for some reason.
