Hi Beauties !
So I am a Makeup Artist and Im very picky when other artists do my makeup- Everyone keeps asking me if Im going to do it myself for my wedding and I really was thinking about it.. If I did I would do something along the lines of this. What do you think? (Keep in mind, Im not going for the "natural" look...In pictures I look like a 10 year old with the natural look... in person its pretty but not in pics ) Thanks !! :) (These pictures were from our Engagement Party BTW.. Did my makeup myself)
I think you look flawless- great job!! if it were me, i'd lighten up the liner on the bottom a bit, but do whatever you're comfortable doing.
@September29: Thank you ! Yea Im going to pay around with it - Sometimes doing the liner on the bottom too thick it makes your eyes look smaller, hate that ! lol ... Thanks !
@Stina11287: I would do white on the water line and something different with the lips (they look too pale or like they have nothing on them anymore) but I love everything else about the look!
Looks great! I wish I could do my own makeup like that :)
Do you think you'll get flustered while doing your own? I know on my wedding day, we were on a tight deadline. I also know that if my eyeliner isn't perfect or a made a mistake, I get annoyed and it takes me a while to fix and/or get it perfect.
The eyeliner is way too thick. I would skip liner on the bottom and do white on your waterline to open up your eyes more.
@Stina11287: I'm super picky too! Where in NY are you? I love your makeup can you do mine??? You're hired! haha
I can't quite fige out your poll, but:
I say go for it! If that's the look you wear every day (or for dressy occasions, etc), then do it. I think he single most important part of wedding day makeup is to always look like yourself.
I'm no MUA, but I do love makeup, and wear it daily. I did my own makeup, makeup for one of my bridesmaids, and my MoH's false eyelashes.
I found it really calming to do something that I know I had complete control over, and that felt routine and easy. It definitely calmed me a little.
@September29: +1 on the liner being a little too heavy on the bottom but otherwise looks nice!
@Ivorybuttons: Wow that just made me feel alot better about doing my own! Thank you so much :)
@michiru4ever: Yes I have a thing with too much color on my lip but ofcourse for the wedding I will be adding for lip color. Thanks for the input!
@coffeegal85: Same with me.. What I think Im going to do is have my friend that is also a makeup artist come to do the girls... and be there for my back up incase my hands get shakey ! Ill have her finish what I cant do, I trust her. :)
@Stina11287: aw man! Lynbrook is kinda far...i'll be getting ready in White Plains so unsure if you travel that far! Do you have recommendations for that area?
While I like the drama, I think if you went a teensy bit lighter on the liner, and brought more color to your cheeks and lips, it would be perfect! Right now I am not a fan that your face and lips are just a little flat looking because the colors are so close. A bit of blush and more of a rosey lip would really bring more dimension to it and make your gorgeous bone structure stand out more!
Just do it yourself. I'm a licensed hair stylist and have done makeup, too. There's no way in hell I'll he happy with what someone else does to me on my wedding day.
@ChemistryBride: Thank you so much ! I will defintely try that later tonight and I will post pics !! :)
@RedAngelDreamer: haha I know, thank god I have a really good freidn who does hair because I trust her and Im not afraid to tell her I dont like it. But my makeup is another story! My eye structure is different then most because when I have my eye completely opened, you can really see my crease bone therefore you cant see the shadow... my shadow has to b brought up to a certain level and a lot of MAC artist believe it or not make me look like a clown ! Not everyone has the perfect wide high eye brow perfect eye lid that shows everything ! lol
@Stina11287: oh my gosh I think you look fab at your e-party!
I'm not a MUA but I have freckles and have never really enjoyed the outcome of having my make up done so I did mine myself and I am SURE you should DIY as well!
HELLOOOOO! You're a PRO!
Go for it, you will be glad you're in control!
Heres another look.... i think I went a little less on the liner on the bottom? (I have a weakness for dark bottom liner ! lol ) ... input?
@Stina11287: The heavy lower liner looks nice, but it really makes your eyes look small. Skip the liner on the water line and replace with white or peach. I think a very light peach looks more natural, personally.
I have had my makeup done by MAC artists three times and each time I ended up looking like a drag queen.
The white brow highlight comes off as really ashy. Try using something closer to your skin tone, just lighter and more shimmery. Also, I think the foundation looks a bit too orange. I'm not sure how it matches in person, but it photos it's just a bit orangey. Good luck!
@Mrs. Honeybee: It matches perfect in person, Its my blush that has the orangey peachy tone to it. Trust me Being a makeup artist the one thing that is my biggest pet peeve is foundation not matching your skin lol.. and personally I dont feel the highlight is ashy at all... But everyone has their own opinions. thank u !
I still think that your eye make up looks too heavy. I get that you don't want a barely there natural look, that you like dramatic, but I still think that the eyeliner is way too heavy. What color eyeshadow are you wearing? Because it looks like it's gray/black. That may be part of it too. What about a shimmery taupe? I think that something like this could be really pretty.
Or even more of a cats eye effect with thin lines widening at the cornerns.
@michiru4ever: That look doesnt look like that on me unfortunaly lol ... its very pretty but she has A LOT of eye lid space so she can pull off that look , In pictures I would look like Im wearing nothing with looks like that. Theyre very pretty though! Probably because those 2 pictures they have beautiful blue eyes with a lot of eye lid space and you see it when their eyes are opened, anything on their eyes will pop.
I think that you should get someone else, even though you are a makeup artist. You've been doing your makeup your entire life, so you'll have habits and won't entirely deviate from them on the day of your wedding. You know how you think you look really good one day, but then you see pictures later on down the road and realize you weren't quite working it? I think you should test others in the area and see if you can find one that you are comfortable with and like, because they'll be able to give that outsider opinion on what would look good on you.
However, if it doesn't work, you always have yourself to fall back on, so really there is no harm in at least trying! :)
I love the way you do your makeup, especially the second picture you posted. Yes, it's quite dramatic compared to what the average woman wears, but it looks like YOU.
Honestly, I'm not a MUA but I do wear makeup every day and practiced for 6 months before the wedding. Ultimately I decided to have it done professionally, but looking back I really could have done it just as well and if I had done it my damn false eyelash wouldn't have come half unglued right before my ceremony GRRRRRR.
Looks perfect, you look beautiful in all the photos! I like a darker eye, too. Also, everyone is so different so it's hard to ask opinions from people on this type of thing. For many women who don't wear much makeup this look could be shocking. You're the professional - trust your instincts. I always wear a full face and love dark liner, I think you look stunning!
@cdncinnamongirl: Thank you so much ! Im sure you were a beautiful bride! Thank you for the input :) xo
Your makeup is FABULOUS.
I think you should do your own, unless you think you'll be so nervous or something that you don't think you'll do a good job. But I know what you mean about being picky about your makeup. After years of doing it yourself, you get a routine and rhythm going. You know exactly what looks best on you and how you achieve your best looks. I know I never let anyone do my makeup!
Hi Girls ! Ok So I was playing around tonight and took some of your guys advice in my makeup !!!
I did the cream colored liner inside my eye instead of black. I did each eye different, but from all of my family and friends Including Myself, I loved the right one ! Its a little more dramatic.. my style :)
PIC HEAVY !
What do you guys think?? Im in love and this is what Im going to do :)
