Make Up Critique

The make up artist that I was planning to use stood me up. I also just got the proofs from imagine and kind of like the way my make up was done there and appeared in the pictures.

I am posting a link to the shutterfly so you guys can critique the make up. Keep in mind that I am having a semiformal day wedding, and so far the only change I plan to make is to have somewhat brighter lip color in a mauvy/pinky shade.

Thank you all for the honest replies.engagement pix

Re: Make Up Critique

Alina, do you have a close-up? It looks really nice, but I can't tell too much from the pics.

Re: Make Up Critique

I think it looks great - but without a closeup its hard to tell....

Re: Make Up Critique

You look nice but I agree with the others. You can't really see the makeup.Do you have something closer?

Re: Make Up Critique

those were the 'close ups' I don't think Lia took anything that was more close up than those!!!

Re: Make Up Critique

I agree with everyone else, you can't see the makeup in those pictures.

Re: Make Up Critique

I think it looks good, if you're going for a natural kind of look. You look polished, but not over done. I agree with using a darker lip color, it will make you look a bit dressier.

Re: Make Up Critique

You look nice. But it is heard to offer a honest critique of the makeup. You can't really see your face close-up.

Re: Make Up Critique

Re: Make Up Critique

Alina...all of these photos were taken with a fuzzy lens or something similiar so its virtually impossible to tell how the makeup looked. (The fuzzy lens will even out everyones skin tone.)

I think you looked pretty but I dont think that has anything to do with the makeup.

Re: Make Up Critique

I am sorry girls, but we didn't have any real close ups taken and scanned.

I am trying to go for a natural look. Normally I don't wear any make up at all.

Re: Make Up Critique

Stef, what's a fuzzy lens? The actual proofs don't look 'fuzzy' Is there a way for me to manipulate the image so you guys can see it better?

Re: Make Up Critique

Alina,
Your pictures came out great but it's so hard to see your makeup. Do you have any other picture?

Re: Make Up Critique

The fuzzy looks comes from a soft focus lens or filter.

See how everything looks a little bit soft and hazy in this photo. That effects makes skin tones more even, teeth look a bit whiter, the background look a little more dreamy. Its a very flattering photography technique but not a good idea if you are looking for accruate photographs and details.

I very rarely wear makeup but I think if you are being photographed (like on your wedding day) you need to wear what I would consider a lot. Unless you are adept at doing it yourself, its worth hiring someone.
