Hi all,

I have just had my first make up trial, and I really don't know what to think.

Day to day i usually wear black liner on the bottom lashline and mascara and thats it.

I now have full foundation, concealer, powder, blush, shadow, etc etc. She did the eyes quite dark with brown shadow to begin with but I asked her to lighten it up so now they are a dark bronze, but it still seems like quite a heavy colour for bridal makeup. I feel I need some liner on the bottom lashes as well.

I can't decide whether or not I actually like it/ don't like it/ just not used to it. My skin feels shiny to me already as well.

What do I do?! I reckon I could do just as good a job by myself. But I don't know if I want the stress. I really cannot decide if I am happy with it or not.

i dont wear makeup at all , so im dreading having to decide what to wear ,
but i agree with laura , try lighter shades and tell them if your not happy x

I think your mums right. Get some advice on some good products and just practise plenty before the day!

I think wedding make up should be all about looking like yourself but better. I don't get how wedding make up artists don't understand the "less is more" thing lol.

I agree with Holly!

i'm doing my own makeup because I don't wear any makeup on a day to day basis, literally nothing. So I didn't want someone slapping loads on my face when I know I won't like it or feel comfortable in it. Have a go yourself, you know what you like and what looks nice on you so who better to do it than you? xxx

I agree with you mum, I think you should think about doing it yourself, get loads of practice in before the day. You need to feel comfortable :)

And again, what Holly said, less is more, I'm dreading having my trial done, I hardly ever wear any make-up at most I put mascara on, and maybe eye-liner. So I really wouldn't feel happy with it being 3x heavier! as LMB said, good lighting is all you need
