'non-traditional' make up trials

Hey ladies,

Are any of you not wearing the 'traditional' wedding makeup? I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and I really want a natural look for the day of. I prefer more of a matte look on my eyes with earthy tones as opopsed to the shiny look that I feel most makeup artists push you toward. Is anyone else going for a more matte look....do you have any pictures that you could post?

Thanks girls! I just feel like I am being encouraged to look a certain way because it will supposedly look better in the pictures, but I'd rather feel comfortable and look natural in person.

I am a makeup artist myself and I must say a good makeup artist will give you what you want, Not pushy but ,making professional recomendations. Ultimatly you have to feel comfortable. My advice get a makeup artist that listens to you and you can achieve the exact look you are going for!!!!

Oh no you are definatly crazy......SO KIDDING. No you should look like you but a little more fabulous then usual!!!! I have done many many brides who want a natural look. Everyone is different and you just have to find a medium between professional and your vision, only because of all the photographs!!!!
