Hmm - the makeup looks good but I would wear a bit more eye makeup.

The hair style is very trendy (dare I say - prom like). I think you may look back on it the way some of us do with our feathered bangs from junior high. I think you are better off with something more classic - like an updo or a half up/half down look. I personally don't like curly tendrils. Just my two cents. You really have to be happy with the look so trust your own instincts. The other problem with this look is that if it is hot or humid or rainy and the curls droop - it is really going to be an odd style without the bouncy curls. I'd go with something safer

I wore my hair down because I've worn my hair down every day my entire life. I did my own makeup but did a bit more than usual. I just wanted to look like me but a bit more polished. I wouldn't get too caught up in fancy hairstyles. Wear your hair the way it looks best on you.

The curls are too much like ringlets. They need to be loosened up with your fingers.

I like the curls. I also think the makeup needs to be a little more dramatic.

Yea, I would stay with the hair but the makeup needs to be darker to show up in photographs and the video.

I think you should have taken the photos indoors because it would give a better realistic look of what you would look like on your day.

That being sdaid, I agree the eye makeup be a tad bit darker. Also, your hair looks just plain sloppy. I am assuming its from the nasty weather, but it should still look nice. What if there is crappy weather on your day, will it look like this. I surely hope not. I think the stylist should have made the hair look more clean. Right now it looks as if you just woke up.

I think your pretty face should not be outdone by your hair. it looks to me like your hair is distracting me from even noticing your makeup. Opinions are good, but your gut feeling is what counts! My guess is that you wouldn't be asking us if you were 100% for that look.

Your eyes could be more dramatic. Your hair is gorgeous. If you are having an evening wedding I would go with a less matte lip color.

I don't like the hair at all. It looks way too prommy for my taste. Is it up? Half up? It is hard to tell. From the front it almost looks like two pony tails with a bunch of spiraly curls. The make-up looks pretty, very subtle, but it is hard for me to see it clearly.

I agree with EvenEdan about your hair.....as for the makeup...it appears that the eyes should be more dramatic...but at the same time its not a clear photo...

I think that the back of your hair looks ok, but I am not crazy about how the front is falling.

ETA- I would have her add more hair down in the front - so it falls more even ( SEE right side of pic)

As far as your makup, I would go a bit more dramatic on either the eyes or a bit less coraly on the lipstick color.

You are a pretty girl and you will be a beautiful bride!

I actually think the make up is perfect! I do think that the hair needs to be a big tighter. But it looks cute, I would just worry about it staying in place all night!

Re: Please give HONEST opinion.. Makeup & Hair GOTIT!!!!

I don't think I will go with the hair.. i think its too 'trendy' and 'prommy' looking at the pics...

But I just don't know what to do with it!

To eliminate the prom-look, go for a tighter gathering, and less curls (less volume). There are sooooo many styles that would look great on you - ask your stylist for suggestions.
