I like your make-up except that she needs to tone down the color of your eyes a bit. JMO

I'm not sure if it is the light but i think she chose the wrong foundation color. the makeup looks too ruddy. I think you are a beautiful girl and she should have enhanced your natural features. A little overdone IMHO!

yes, the eyes are a little too much.

The makeup looks flawless, but with your skin tone, I would go with more neutral colors that will emphasis your natural beauty. Maybe you can go with a smokey look around the eyes. That's always a dramatic look. The blush and lipstick look great.

I love the lipstick color, but I think the color of the eyeshadow is not right for your skin and there is too much of it going all the way up to the brow bone. If you like the color maybe she can keep in on the lids only and a little less heavy on the lids.

Eyes are def too over done, you can still emphasize your eyes and not be so dramatic!

Hey Nadia-

I love the lip color but I think the eye shadow is a bit much.

Read that you closed on your house - congrats!

i think you are a beautiful girl
i think they were off on the foundation color- doesnt match your skin tone- also they did a little too much eyes

not trying ot be harsh- just honest

good luck!

I'm with the other gals. The foundation is a little pink. And, the eyes are a little too Britney Spears pop. You are a beautiful girl, and no doubt you will be a beautiful bride. Let your natural beauty show.

Honestly, the eyeshadow is not flattering at all. It's too high up on the brow, and there's not contrast. The foundation color is not for your skintone.

Everything else is beautiful.

I would recm'd going to a Bobby Brown, MAC or other counter that caters to women of varying skin tones.

Definately thanks girls....I thought it was too much on my eyes. I'm just a chapstick kind of girl. I wanted neutral colors.....I don't know what happened!!!!
My mom hated it!!! Just wanted some other opinions thanks for being honest!!!!

I agree. Vera Moore is also a great makeup counter located in Green Acres Mall. She deals only with varying skin tones also.

Best of Luck

Yes, the foundation is not a good match to your skin tone. Looking at your shoulders and neck, you have a beautiful chocolate tone. This foundation makes your face way to red.

You are definitely a beautiful girl - even without makeup. However, I feel that the makeup used in this trial distracts from your natural beauty. You want your makeup to enhance your features.

I would do a completely different foundation color - this one is way too red. You should use a peach or pink blush on your cheeks to give you a little color, but the rest of your face should be more brown. If you want to use purple on your eyes, maybe have that color in the crease and more natural colors on the lid or by the brow bone. Your lipstick looks great - and you have such straight white teeth!

just my honest opinion: I feel your face looks red and your eye shadow looks way too much.

ETA: I like the lip color though!

I completely agree.

I agree with everyone above. You are a beautiful girl and do not need so much make-up to bring it out.

Good luck!! I tried 4 different artists before I decided.

I agree as well. It's a little too much for a wedding day, I would try to stay away from too trendy of colors.

You are gorgeous and she made you look like you have
sun poisoning! That's the wrong foundation or blush or something....but you WILL be a gorgeous bride; just go to a different makeup person!
