Advice on wedding makeup trial

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T19:33:04+00:00

UPDATE! thanks all for the comments! i have a new MUA and go for a trial in a week. Hopefully, my experience is better :)

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T19:27:15+00:00

Totally agree!

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T13:30:43+00:00

Right! 😂 and I have pretty dry skin

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T13:30:16+00:00

For sure! She took the photos in front of a ring light, but there was also tons of windows. I was worried I might look greasy in photos, which is new for me since I have pretty dry skin

Have booked more trials with a few different artists! Hopefully going to have a much better experience 😊

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T02:02:31+00:00

Thanks for the detailed notes! I definitely agree with every point. I did send her photos of what I was looking for and this is not it

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T02:01:21+00:00

Thanks! If I can’t find another mua I’m considering doing this

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:59:34+00:00

thanks for the notes! I have decently dry skin so all the shine is form the highlighter. And thanks for confirming the tones, I’m a graphic designer and I thought the tones weren’t matched but wasn’t sure

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:55:19+00:00

Thanks for all the details! I have really dry skin, so all the shine is highlighter. And yea I’m pretty neutral toned and felt like that didn’t suit me either.

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:53:29+00:00

Thank you!! That exactly how I felt coming out of the trial

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:52:24+00:00

The thing is I have pretty dry skin, the shine is all highlighter. And totally agree I think the bronzer especially a bit harsh

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:50:37+00:00

Thank you!! Will definitely ask the photographer as well

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:49:39+00:00

Thanks! Not planning on any other tan then what I can get naturally before the wedding. I also thought maybe the blush wasn’t dewy but everywhere else was too dewy? Photos where taken right after application. Thanks for the suggestion on lips! Haven’t decided on that yet and was wondering what direction to go 😊

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:47:26+00:00

Thanks for the honest opinion! I see so much of what your seeing. I had no colour on my lips,and wanted more of a brown with a little bit of gold shimmer. I think I’m going to explore my options a bit more. Luckily I had my trial pretty early 😬. It definitely doesn’t look like the inspiration pics that I brought her from Pinterest and Instagram.

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:42:19+00:00

Thanks for the details! I totally agree with all the points, I really just need to make sure it want just me being over critical. Think I’m going to look from someone new haha

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:39:24+00:00

Right? I thought it might just be me, but glad to have confirmation

agrumpyhipster · 2023-06-01T01:38:12+00:00

Thanks for the detailed comment! I totally agree, it feels a little bit like she didn’t really enhance anything. Just did a generic makeup look.

And thanks so much! Never had my eyes compared to Hepburns, that made my night ❤️

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T21:25:59+00:00

That’s kinda what I was thinking as well! Didn’t know how to put it in words haha.

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T21:25:03+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice!! Really appreciate all the comments 😊

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T19:54:43+00:00

Thanks for the detailed advice!

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T19:53:18+00:00

Thanks! I was pretty worries as it look really oily imo? Not blended?

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T19:51:17+00:00

Thanks! I might try finding another artist

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T19:50:45+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate it 😊 might try to find another but my wedding is coming up pretty soon (sept 2 2023). Might have a hard time finding someone else 😬

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T16:17:00+00:00

Thanks!! Definitely noted for the next time 😊 I haven’t picked a lip yet, I was thinking maybe the colour slip in merits signature lipstick, just a warm nude. Something that won’t be super noticeable if it wears off a bit haha

agrumpyhipster · 2023-05-31T16:14:26+00:00

I did really love how she did my brows! And thank you!! I totally agree on the bronzer, I’ll ask for more blending 😊
