    Just wanted to get some feedback and/or constructive criticism on my hair and make up trial from last night. I was really happy with how it turned out but figured I could count on my fellow bee's for some advice. They were taken with my iPhone so the quality isn't that great.

    The ONLY thing I was thinking about changing for the wedding is the lip color. It just a little too pink for me.

    Wow! I think you look gorgeous!!! What an amazing hair do and flower, too. I agree that you might try a more berry pink, but what I really noticed was your eyes.

    Beautiful!  I like the idea of a berry pink lip shade.

    i agree that everything looks great but a more subtle lip color would be better since your eyes are so stunning ;) dont want to take away from them or else you will look overdone!

    I agree that the lip color is a bit too pink for you. You could also consider a gentle coral in addition to the berry. I wouldn't change anything else, though--gorgeous!

    Very nice. I also agree about the lip color; maybe something a little more muted.

    Your hair looks fantastic.  I would base your lip color on some of your other colors.  For example, if you are using darker colors, I think a darker lip color (deeper red)  would really play up your features and give you an exotic look.  For some reason, I'm just not crazy about the lip color you are wearing.  Looks to coral to me.....then again, I'm not a fan of coral.  I agree with the other about more of a berry color.  Your hair looks amazing ~ dont' change a thing, and what I can see of your eye color, that looks really nice too.

    I really love you hair from the side and from the back, but I might try adding a little more volume to the front.

    You are glowing in your pics. I see what you say about the gloss. Maybe a nude color or a peach-y color.

    The only thing I would change, along with the lippy colour, is the front of your hair. I love the way it looks from the back and the side, but looks a little flat from the front. I think it needs more volume on top.

    On the pics, you don't recognize that the lip color is too pink.

    I really like your hair-do, the curls in the back are big and wavy. I'm not a fan of many little curls - so I think yours is really pretty!

    Hi ya - I think you look stunning :-)

    I just wanted to make one comment  - nothing major but you are only wearing earrings in one photo, I assume you plan on wearing these on the day?

     

    Its just that to me these are not massivly 'wedding' earrings and the shape is too similar to the flower in your hair. I think you want earrings that compliment your accessories but not duplicate?

    Just my opinion!

    You look beautiful. What does your dress look like? I agree witht the other bees - berry might be more complimenting.

    Did you make the flower?

    Thanks again ladies for all the compliments!! I totally agree with those of you that said the hair needs some volume in the front. SO...different lip color and more volume in the front and I should be PERFECT! ;)

    @nzbride...I won't be wearing those earrings for the wedding. They just happened to be what I was wearing that night. For the wedding day I'll just be wearing simple pearl studs that my fiance got for me on our first Christmas together.

    I have a couple more photos that give you a better look at the eye makeup. I also attached a photo of my dress for those that asked! :) I won't be wearing the little shrug shown in the photo though.

    Pictures didn't work!  I love your hair for sure.  The makeup I think isn't dramatic enough in my opinion.

    Gorgeous trial run! More volume in the front for your hair and changing up the lip color are my opinions!

    I agree that you need a different shade of lipstick. If I were you I would also change the hairdo (slightly). I think you would look much better if it were slightly "fluffier" on the sides.
