SO, since I am a huge fan of MAC makeup, I decided to do a trial since there was no cost and all you had to do was buy 4 products (which I do all the time anyway)
SO, I bring in 2 pictures of makeup that I like. They are very romantic, dewy looks. I explain to the girl that I totally dislike DARK eyes and that I want something not too heavy. I also say that I don't like dark pink lips--that I like my lips on the light side. She agreed.
ANYWAY she basically gave me smoky grey eyes that were totally DARK and nasty lipstick that was DARK!! I was so pissed. I repeatedly kept saying, this is dark--this is dark. Finally, I told her t make the lipstick a LIGHT pink. She winds up taking it up MAYBEEEE one notch. Still NOT what I wanted. Anyway, during the trial, she also urged me to try fake lashes. I didn't think she was going t charge me for them, AND SHE DID!!! If I knew Ii was going to pay $12 for lashes that I literally pulled off as soon as I got home, I wouldn't have done them in the first place. I also thought it was wrong of her to not mention the price of them from the get go. THIS is why I did not tip her, plus the fact that I had to wait 40 MINUTES for her even though I had an appt!!!!!
ANYWAY, I guess this was a good experience because now I know EXACTLY what I do NOT want and I cant wait for a trial with MIA on Monday now!!
Here are my before and after pics. Please, dont mind my mug.

Re: MY MAC MAKEUP TRIAL
You do look veryyyy pretty but if that's not what you want for the wedding then def go with someone else. They LOVE to do the smokey eye at MAC because they did that to me too after I told them not to. which one did you go to?

Re: MY MAC MAKEUP TRIAL
Thanks a lot girls! You totally making me blush!!
I wont say which MAC it was, to protect the identity of the makeup artist. She did do a GREAT job, just not right for a wedding.
And like CNC mentiooned earlier, I DID say I wanted too look glamorous so thats probably what stuck in her head the most..LOL.
Anyway, live and learn!

Re: MY MAC MAKEUP TRIAL
no offense but you are WAY prettier without all that makeup. I completly agree with you, too dark for you, especially if you dont normally wear a lot of makeup. less is more. lol
