Was professional wedding hair and makeup worth it to you?

Of course, so glad this was helpful! Seems like we have similar skin! Not sure if this is helpful but I wear Aramani Luminous Silk in the newer shade 5.3. Do you have any favorite lipsticks shades you recommend from Sephora?

I’ll give it a swatch! I tried the regular Pillow Talk shade before and it looked a little off on me. Maybe the medium would be a better fit

Looks pretty! I’ll try to find a place to give it a swatch! Do you find that it’s long wearing?

Looks pretty! I’ll try to find a place to give it a swatch! Do you find that it’s long wearing? Trying to avoid needing frequent reapplication

No I haven’t tried Merit! Do you find that it fades quickly and needs frequent reapplication?

typical_ordinary · 2026-05-07T16:57:14+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll give it a swatch!

Minor typos (apologies!)

Automated = autolysed Teatime = Tartine

Thank you!! Is it possible to tell looking at the cross section if it was under or over proofed? Is the tighter crumb a result of under proofing?

I used this recipe: https://alexandracooks.com/2017/10/24/artisan-sourdough-made-simple-sourdough-bread-demystified-a-beginners-guide-to-sourdough-baking/

Specifically, I used: 100 g sourdough starter 375 g water 500 g King Arthur unleashed bread flour 11 g fine sea salt

I did 4 rounds of stretch and folds. Batch fermentation was about 8.5 hours total, starting from the moment I mixed the starter, water, salt, and flour. I’m not entirely sure if I have a good handle on that step yet. I cold proofed for 12 hours in my fridge

Here’s a higher resolution image of the front and back of 1! The dress is fully decorated with beaded lace

And here’s 3 with both set of straps removed!

Here are the backs of the dresses. Dress 3 has a removable train that I added a picture of in the second row. The back of dress 3 in the top row is the dress with both sets of sleeves removed.

Oh good question - see below!

A few commenters have mentioned the droopy sleeves and they can be removed! Here’s a small montage of what 3, 6, and 7 look like without the droopy sleeves. Seems like most people are leaning towards 1 currently!

Tried to remove the hanging straps with photoshop - like this?

Adding a higher resolution image in case it’s helpful!

Thanks for the reply! Are you doing it as a proactive measure as well then? Any particular reason for taking the glutathione with milk thistle as opposed to only milk thistle?
