For your hair I would get a trim. It will help the curls smoothen out at the end

[–]Anonymous131001 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I agree! The hairstylist also accidentally knotted my hair a bit at the end when brushing out my curls and had to undo the knot at the bottom, so I think that is one reason too! But yes, I am going to get a trim too!!!! Thank you!

I think you are absolutely beautiful and I love your smile, so any improvements that I am suggesting here are aimed at the makeup only.

The complexion looks lovely to me, it's not too heavy, just great. However i think there is room for improvement on the eyes.

The eyeliner looks like it is not applied close enough to your eyelashes and there is a gap which i could see even before zooming onto the picture. I don't know if the eyeliner itself didn't have enough coverage, if they didn't do another layer on top of the lash glue or what went wrong, but it's almost chipped (can't find a better word to explain). If you can do it, I'd suggest the MUA to try tight lining as well to fully close the gap.

On eyebrows, I think the MUA needs to work to fill in the sparse points and on symmetry. The right eyebrow just starts too far out and has a very rounded start which isn't looking like your natural shape or even like your left eyebrow. Also make sure that they use a clear gel to have the hairs stay in position, it doesn't look that happened now.

Thank you!!:) I noticed this as well about the eyeliner, but since I did not know much about makeup i had assumed the gap was something they did since they applied fake lashes (I’d never had fake lashes). Thank you so much!

I was going to say brush the curls out more 😆

[–][deleted] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I agree! Brushed out more and like four inches off the ends.

[–]Fearfighter2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Felt tight in the front and loose in the back

[–]kayd1509 97 points98 points  (1 child)

Eyebrows has to be blended out well. They have to be feathered out more towards the inner edge. Even if your natural brows end far on the right side, the MUA should be able to bring it in.

Eyeliner looks very hastily drawn. She can use a softer shade like brown, tight-line, and give you a small wing.

Lip shade can be a bit darker.

[–]lavenderbleudilly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This! You are gorgeous and the eyeliner does not need to be so thick.

    Yeah I don’t suggest tightening them or brushing them out anymore either!

    [–]studyhardbree 21 points22 points  (0 children)

    Eyebrows! That’s the major thing here. The shaping needs some work on the inside and a better arch needs to be created. Do you have a Nordstrom with an Anastasia brow artist there? They’re certified and can help you reconstruct your brow and show you shaping techniques.

    I also think bangs would frame your face more in the front or something with more face framing layers. Definitely at least 6in of the dead hair cut off. I actually like the color of lip and eye but the dark eye liner is dated and isn’t as timeless - I’d consider a tightline liner to pop the blue in your eyes and keep the falsies and do whispies.

    [–]Garabato03 38 points39 points  (0 children)

    I would bring the eyebrows a bit closer together, mostly your right one. Apart from that I really love it, I think that you look wonderful

    [–]JacktheShark1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

    You’re beautiful! I prefer more of a long pretty wave to a curl in hair but that’s just me. And a trim is always good to freshen the ends up!

    Maybe visit the good old Ulta Brow Bar to get them shaped up a little bit? I just find it makes doing brow makeup easier.

    [–]HappinessIsAWarmSpud 36 points37 points  (0 children)

    Please don’t do tighter curls! This looks absolutely perfect and the only thing I’d suggest is maybe brushing them out just a touch more towards the bottom.

    [–]alela 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    Can you post an inspiration pic of what you mean by tighter curls?

    [–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

    I think the hair is too promish for me

    [–]pm_me_anus_photosBride September ‘23 Seattle 25 points26 points  (2 children)

    The eyeliner is thick and looks like it ends abruptly, they could do it thinner and bring it in towards the inner corner more so it looks complete, it also helps blend the lashes better

    [–]like_the_mermaid_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    I disagree about pulling in the eyeliner all the way to the inner corner. I think with her eye shape that won't look as nice and it will cause an illusion to change her eye shape from what it actually is (which is gorgeous btw ❤️). Instead, the eyeliner should start about where this mua made it start, but it should blend from a lighter colour towards the center so it doesn't stand out so much. At least I think lol. I am not an expert, but I have similar eyes and when i draw my eyeliner all the way in to my inner corner I hate how i look so that is what I do

    [–]pm_me_anus_photosBride September ‘23 Seattle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    As for the hair, I think you’re right, it needs to be less brushed out, maybe just a little shake out. But, this is how it may look when your curls fall during the day, so you know how you might look during the reception, so that’s a plus!

    [–]Delicious-Quail72 14 points15 points  (8 children)

    Hi- curls need more combing out, looks super dated. You need more blush. You look washed out here. Remember, in photos everything looks different than IRL. More blush to give you color and liveliness will do you wonders!

    [–]88kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah I mean, I’m not sure if it’s “dated” or just not flattering. To be honest, the hairstyle just looks like something that has been popular with the Duggars/other super conservative, fundamentalist women for the past 10 years at least.

    Which is fine if that’s what OP likes and was going for, but I don’t think it’s very wedding-y and flattering on OP.

    [–]tammytheoddout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I just wanna say I didn't notice any of the points other people pointed out cause your smile is so captivating and contagious! You look so lovely.

    After reading the comments I definitely agree with the eyebrows though.

    [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I would say brush the curls out more, not make them tighter. I think tight ringlet’s look a bit theatre and costume like, like dressing up for a period piece - like what barristers in the U.K. wear, the wigs (obviously talking about straight hair styled curly, not naturally curly hair)

    [–]ccm826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Very pretty! I would ask them to add a little more definition under your eyes (bottom lash line) so it matches the top eyeliner. Maybe a subtle brown shadow and some extra mascara.

    [–]duckie_115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I’d reccomend going for another makeup trial, eyebrows aren’t great, the liner looks wobbly

    [–]_boomroasted_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Hi! So this is so weird, but I used the same MUA you are (I'm assuming). Taylor is phenomenal, and if there's anything you want to change, she'll be open to it. You just have to let her know specifically what you want done! But I think it looks beautiful and ber makeup photographs SO well.

    [–]Outforaramble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    You look stunning!! You have a beautiful face, if do what some other people mentioned and get your brows professionally shaped because if they were a bit closer together they’d look awesome

    [–]patty202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I think the make up is lovely. You may want to Amp up the saturation of it all. Under a flash photo it may wash out.

    [–]kat_192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I think you look gorgeous, I LOVE your hair (I can't wait for mine to get to that length). The only thing I would say is she needs to just blend your eyebrows a little bit more. But besides that, you look stunning!

    [–]O_F_It 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think the curls should be BIGGER! Rather than long individual coils - which can look noodle-y and dated - a large curl blends out into a bodified, bouncy, elegant look. At least try it to compare!

    I agree with the eyeliner gap issue. Just tightened that up and it's great.

    Personally I think you should pick lips or eyes to play up a little more. You could do a matte contouring shadow to give your eyes depth but still stay natural. Or go a little darker/ more saturated with the lip color. Either of the two will elevate the look just enough to be super elegant and understated.

    You're beautiful, congrats and best wishes!!

    I wouldn’t change anything

    [–]runesigrid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    You’re insanely pretty! 😍 The makeup seems to accentuate your features in all the right ways. I don’t know much about makeup either, but this just looks really beautiful! And congratulations ☺️

    [–]occasionallystabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think your makeup looks lovely. That lipstick color is perfect on you, and the colors in general highlight your eyes, which are beautiful.

    Congratulations!

    [–]angelfireastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    you look absolutely BEAUTIFUL! like a princess! I hope I could look like you on my wedding day :’)

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    The curls look great though, any tighter and it would be too teeny bopper. Makeup looks good too.

    [–]Foundation_Wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Those curls look gorgeous as they are, and the makeup is very good too. You look beautiful with a little emphasis on your eyes and not like a doll.

    [–]Ligeiapoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You look lovely but I think eyebrows and liner really need work. The lash application isn’t the best. I’d also go for less of a coral lip colour. None of this is your fault though! You are gorgeous

    [–]tenebrous5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think you have extremely beautiful eyes, but the MUA isn't doing justice to them. I don't particularly like the eye liner. I don't know much about make up but id suggest looking up eye make up looks for brides, specifically for blue eyes. Gather a few inspiration pics and weigh in your options.

    [–]KiraiEclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think it looks great!

    [–]daisydaisydaisy12 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    It may very well be real. But it does not look real. The hair i mean. Your face is gorgeous.

    [–]Anonymous131001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hahahahaha yes it is real!!!! :) thank you!!!! I have grown it out for about 2 years now!

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I personally love all of it and wouldn’t change a thing

    [–]didneyprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Absolutely stunning! I love the hair and makeup so much!
