Is it me, or do most of the makeup trial pics people post look the same?

Im SURE people are going to hate on me for this post.. but everytime I see 'Makeup trial, pics included' post I get excited to see the girls... they all look GORGEOUS. Definitely. But I feel like 98% of them got the same makeup from their artist. Frosty pinkish reddish brown eyeshadow up to their eyebrows, some with fake lashes and natural looking blush.

I wear makeup but I dont know much about it. Is this just a general look that looks good on everyone?

Im just bitter about the prices they charge for makeup and none of them seem extremely tailored to the brides.

IMO, these ladies who have booked who they did were happy with the work, so in that case I think it is an individual choice.

We have to remember, when these ladies go for make-up trials I am sure they walk in and say what they want and if they are not happy, they don't book them.

With Weddings, most want to look natural and I think this 'Person' we are all referring to has done exactly that. Yes, there are so many with brown, pinks, etc..., but then again I don't know who I have seen come back from a make-up trail yet with blues, purples or anything else for that matter with any trial.
I could be mistaken, but I think every make-up artist has been using the same colors.

JMO but, I think this 'Person' is extremely talented from what I have seen.

Oh I dont doubt the talent. And I honestly wasn't referring to a specific vendor, though when someone pointed out the trend for that vendor it was hard to disagree.

It never hit me that most of the girls here bring pics of other girls and it escalates, that could definitely be the reason alot of them are similar.

You girls are so smart!

I didn't bring any pictures either. I just said that I don't want to look like I have tons of makeup on and unrecognizable but I still want to look like I have some makeup on and look pretty and voila!

When I went for my trial , I was very very very vocal about what I wanted.. I dont really wear much make up . I dont even own a bottle of foundation, so when I say i dont wear much I dont. A lil bronzer & lips ,, Thats it for me,,

So when I went I expalied that to her & made it clear i didnt want a glam, made over look..

I prob could have done it myself as well, but to be honest , afetr all the year of planning , i wanted someone to cater to me for that day.. LOL

But i think i know who you guys are refereing to. She does really do great work,, If you tell her pink, she does pink, if u tell her orange, heck she will do orange too.. I think that most the pics weve seen are of girls like me , who didnt want alot of makeup & wanted that natural look, thats why the colors look the same,,

JMO,,

I totally agree, I booked her. When I went I told her that I really did not know what I wanted since I don't really wear that much makeup. But I said that I did not want people to say 'Who is that bride' I wanted to look like myself, not a clown., She did what she thought was best and it looked great. I think the browns and pinks are very neutral. If you know what you want, make sure your vocal.
