You are a very beautiful girl. You should keep looking. I don't think the colors accentuate your natural beauty enough.

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

you have really nice features and i think this makeup does nothing to make them stand out in a pretty way. were you set on blue? i think you need different shades of color for sure. wish you the best in finding the MU you love!!

Hmm your coloring would look good with plaums, maybe warm colors too-like peachy colors and warmer neutrals. You want to glow. Pinks would actually probably do you justice too. In Elegant Bride, they showed a blond model in pale pink wedding dresses and natural pink makeup and it looked amazing.

That makeup does nothing for you. I think you should definitely look around more.

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

no I'm def not set on blue. I actually never wear blue. I just hated the way the pink hated, so went for opposite.

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

Wow.. you are VERY pretty.... but seriously.. I cannot believe a professional did that, and you paid for it?

The blue is awful and the red lips is WAY too much on your lips.

If I had your eyes and face, I would do a soft taupe and purple with a soft liner on top and under. Or a soft grey liner and grey smokey shadow in the crease. I would do a liner with a pale pinky almost sheer lipstick.

Keep is soft and simple. I would like to see a pic of how you normally do your own.

Good luck!!!

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

or like that. this is my fav purple to wear. by mac. my fh loves it too. our first date I wore it so he's always like I could never forget it. I don't think I could wear makeup like that though for my wedding. I wear it all the time.

The purple is very fun, but way to extreme for a wedding. Honestly, if you were bright eye shadow like that, everyone will look at your makeup and not you. I think it is way over the top. Save the fun colors for your honeymoon!

Bright colors like that are fun, but trendy. Besides, those bright colors take away from the unique color of your eyes. I would stick to softer, neutral colors that will be timeless. You wouldn't want to look at your photos 20 yrs from now and regret going with fad rather than classic. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

I agree!

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

yeah I'm def not going with blue.

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

As someone who is going with a non-traditional makeup look herself (red lips and toned down face),got ripped apart for it and decided to do it anyway, I can respect your desire to be different. However that purple just doesn't do anything for you. Red is honestly a fantastic color for my skin tone but those cool colors though fun and trendy, look a bit night clubby for a wedding.

But is your wedding going to be fun and funky? Is your dress non-traditional? If you are going for an overall over the top theme, then it might work. But if you want a traditional look, try warmer peachy colors.

Sorry I don't like the blue, you have a beautiful face go with a more natural look. You don't need to much makeup you have blue eyes.

Re: my first wedding makeup trial!

I think for everyday fun makeup, what you have is fine, but for a wedding, it might distract. You are going to be wearing this beautiful dress and have a gorgeous head of hair, and then to have your eyes look that extreme may take away in your pictures. I would def try out something more neautral and see how you like it. You also have really pretty eyes and I think the blues and purples take away from that. Of course this is your wedding and your face, so you should do what you really want and what makes you feel best. I am just giving my point of view!
