Re: My 1st Makeup Trial with pics

I love it...and i love it bc it looks just above everyday. DO you wear makup like that everyday? I know u want a hint more of that somethig...that glam....but u dont want to go overboard where it doesnt look like urself.

I think thisi s a happy medium!

you look beautiful, but I agree, it looks too everyday...unfortunately, i'm having the same problem...it's hard to find a MU artist that knows how to make my eyes more dramatic while not making me look overdone with the foundation...I just look like regular old me with a load of makeup on...when all I really want is to look like a prettier me....very frustrating

This is TOTALLY what i want!! The most beautiful, amazing, glowing version of me anyone could imagine. Isn't that what every bride wants???

I spoke to my m/u artist today and she understood, i think ... going to do another trial with her next month i think (gotta save $$!) to try again.

Re: foundation, ask whoever you use to go VERY light on the foundation or maybe try mineral makeup. I have being using it for a few years now and love it. Can't go back! And my m/u artist even said to me today, maybe we should do you very light on the face and dramatic on the eyes. Good luck!

I just asked the m/u girl I had a trial with to email me pics... I'll post them soon.

I think you look gorgeous!!! I would change the eyes though. Something smokier, less colorful - do you have green eyes?

that's EXACTLY what Jennifer Ann did for me. I'll post pics ASAP.

I also use Bare Escentuals and told her light foundation, dramatic eyes (I have a heavy hand when it comes to my eye make-up)....

I have hazel/green eyes. They look green when I wear green, and mostly brown when I wear anything else.

My m/u artist didn't think a smoky eye would look good for me, said that because my eyes are so deep-set, smoky would be too dark. And I agree - I added more brown to the lash line when I got home and it was too dark. So I want to try some golds ... I do like the color of the shadow .. maybe she can just add a little gold sparkle? Maybe add some green in the corner or something? Not sure. But I have been thinking this same thing.

Can't wait to see your pics!
