Ok ladies - hair & makeup trial with Mia... with pics

Ok, I tend to shy away from posting my pic online... but I have to say that I really love seeing everyone's hair and makeup trial pics and that's how I decided I wanted to have a trial with Mia of BridalLounge, so I'm going to post my pics.

I went to see her on Saturday with some pics of makeup I like and the style of hair I want. She was very nice and took her time with me. She said I didn't really need a hair TRIAL since I just want some curls and wanted either the front of my hair up or a simple side part - so long as my hair isn't in my face all day. So for hair, she just put me in some hot rollers and then after she finished makeup, she let them down and curled a few with a curling iron and tried the two front styles so I could see and decide. On the day of it would look nicer - she said she'd use steam rollers and a smaller size for a little more definition - so keep that in mind when you look at the hair.

Anyway, I was really pleased with everything. I think that if I am more tanned on the day of (which I hope to be!) I MIGHT ask her to do a little more of a earthy/slightly peachy color for cheeks and lips, but I LOVED the lipstick in person.

Edited to add: This was AIRBRUSH foundation - 1st time I had it done - LOVED it. It felt like I had nothing on, and up close you couldn't tell I was wearing anything!

Alrighty, here goes...

The (EEEK) before pic for reference (I think this is the first picture I've ever taken without at least some powder! lol)


Good shot of the makeup colors she used
