Makeup Trial

Hi ladies,

I have my first makeup trial tonight and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to tell her (it's my aunt)

The wedding is at 3:30 and the reception is at night. Is the makeup supposed to be heavy? Do I tell her to make my eyes stand out?

I never never never wear makeup. If I go to a wedding I'll put on eyeliner and mascara but that is maybe once a year.

Please help!!!!

TIA

Since you don't wear make-up very often maybe you should ask her for a more natural look on you...and then she can do a more dramatic one and you can pick.

If you never wear makeup, I would tell her you want a NATURAL look!!! I don't wear a ton of makeup on a daily basis, either, and that's what we did. There are pics in my album. You don't want to be uncomfortable and you don't want to look 'unlike' you on your wedding day. That is the most important thing! Good luck!

I don't wear a ton of makeup either - I do wear it everyday, but I like a natural look. If you don't wear it a lot, you'll be uncomfortable and that's the last thing you want on your wedding day. Here are my pics from my makeup trial, is this too much for you?

My Makeup Trial

Just to give you an idea of what I consider 'natural.' She brushed on the foundation instead of applying it with a foam applicator, and I felt it looked much more natural that way. She used cream blush, too, which helps give a natural 'glow.' And we couldn't decide on a lip color, so I am going to order a bunch of samples I think from eyes lips face (someone on here said they were $1 a piece!) and find a peachy-nude color I like, cuz I never wear lipstick.

Good Luck!!!!

Melissa, I went for a very natural look for mine also (my pics are in an album) and you know that I don't wear make-up much either!
