Makeup trial!

Robyn, on March 30, 2019 at 13:31 Posted in Beauty 0 27

I had my second make-up trial yesterday and I am thrilled (and surprised) by how well it went! Backstory - my MOH/FSIL is a professional make-up artist and volunteered to do my makeup. We've butted heads on a few things before this (her dress among other things), and for the first makeup trial, she did what she wanted, instead of what I wanted. I looked like an alien - silver eyeshadow, false eyelashes that had to be 2 inches long, really heavy contouring, that kind of thing. A really pretty alien, but still an alien.

So I asked for a second trial, showed her a thousand pictures of the sort of classic glam look I was going for, and she actually listened to me, and did a pretty amazing job (I think, anyway Smiley laugh )

Has anyone had their makeup trial yet? What is the look you're going for?

    I don't actually know, my sister in law is doing it for free, but with my hair trial, the price was included in the total fee. I think it just depends on the vendor's policy.

    Question: I've been looking around for a makeup artist and I think I found the one. But her prices are odd to me. Did you have to pay up front for both trial and wedding day? Or was the trial combined with makeup costs? Because something seems amiss.

    Ah. I learned when I went to get my hair coloured recently that pictures were my best friend for achieving what I want. Now my Instagram is filled with saved pictures of anything and everything I like lol.

    Thank you!

    I hate the cakey look as well, if that is a concern ask her to go easy on the foundation. Just don't be hesitant to voice your opinions, it is your day and you should feel amazing!

    Thank you so much! Definitely get some pictures, I feel like that was where I went wrong with the first trial. I tried to describe what I wanted, and it just didn't work. For the second trial, I brought pictures with specific references - this eyeliner style, this lip colour, etc.

    Thanks, Tori! If I'm 100% honest, I think there is a good chance I will end up doing my own makeup too... my MOH is always late, so this trial was also kind of a tutorial. If she's not on time, I'm doing my own look.

    I love it!

    I haven't had my makeup trial yet, but it's booked for early May. I'm nervous because I saw the artist in person (my hair dresser recommended her and I've known the former for years/she knows my general taste) and her makeup looked good, but online the pictures she's shared makes her subjects look cakey. (Although that could be because that's what they asked for/showed her examples of).

    You look amazing! Your makeup trial went so well! I'm having mine in about 2 months (for my shower), and I don't even know what I'll be asking for! I'm going to have to start compiling some pictures for inspiration.

    Your makeup looks ah-mazing! I’m so glad she listened to what you wanted!!!

    I won’t be having my trial for a couple of months yet, but will likely go for a natural look.

    Natural is such a beautiful style, I feel like our partners want us to look like ourselves when we down the aisle, right? Can't wait to see your pics, do share them when you've had your trial!

    I’m so glad this worked out for you and your FSIL listened to you. I know how hard his can be sometimes.

    you look beautiful!!

    my first make up trial is for my engagement photos! Going for a more neutral / natural look but obviously something better than I can pull off myself 😂😂

    You look great! The soft glam is a classic wedding-day look!

    I've added some photos of my makeup inspiration, it's also a soft glam with some bolder colours on the eyes. I'm sticking with a neutral lip and light contouring (I also don't want a heavy-alien look lol). I'm not doing false eyelashes but will have mascara.

    Yup! Just had makeup and hair trial last weekend. I want my hair in a half up do, and for makeup I will have smoky eyes with nude lips.

    My makeup artist didn’t go as intense with the eyeshadow or smoky as I wanted, but will make sure she gets it right the day of!

    I love the shading of your shadow. Looks great!
