I'm not a huge fan... it's a little boring to me, but I'm not really sure what exactly needs to be changed. Sorry for the poor quality photos...
What do you think?
I really like your eyes, but in that lighting I am not sure about the pink lipstick. Is it possible to do more a nude color or gloss?
Did you use that one pic as your inspiration? The girl from Gossip Girl? It looks fine. But honestly, like you mentioned, I think you're missing the "pop".
Hmmm...well you look beautiful as always! I remember seeing your picture on another post one time and thinking "wow, this girl is sooooo pretty" but maybe something with the eyes needs to be changed.
Im not an expert at makeup by any means, but maybe more definition in the eyes? What time is your wedding going down???
haha I'm sorry it's horrible lighting i know. I'm actually just wearing chapstick! I'm really picky about lip color so I told her I would bring in my own at our next trial.
HM. I felt like when your eyes were done I really liked them. But once you opened it up all the colors got lost. It looks like closer to your eyelids she should've gone with a darker color or something to make it pop more?
And I'm not sure about the pink lipstick either.
Is this as heavy as she will go for the actual wedding day? I would be a little worried about it not showing up in pictures?
For me, I think this is great! Because I'm not much of a makeup wearer. So I'm responding to your response that you feel it's boring.
Did you bring inspiration pictures?
I'm not a big fan either as it looks like everyday makeup. You're very pretty, it looks as though you have no makeup on though. Remember you want it to show up in photos throughout the day. She needs to accentuate your eyes more to make them pop. I suggest looking through pictures of Kim Kardashian---her makeup is always flawless and it could probably give you some more ideas. Hope that helps!
I think your eyes should almost be more dramatic...not sure of the lipcolor...you have beautiful eyes already, but they can be played up more! go for it girl!!! like they say..go big or go home! : )
@Wendy- I forgot the photo! I'm horrible, I know :( I agree with you I feel like it's missing something. I'm not really sure what it is though...
@honeybear- Thank you!! :) You're sweet! The wedding will be at 4 we're taking pictures at 2 so I'll get it done around noon. I told her I didn't want anything too dark in the eyes, but maybe I should go a little darker?
Thanks girls I felt like she put TONS of eye makeup on, but now that I'm looking at the photos it looks like theres hardly any... I want it to stand out in photos, but I'm afraid of looking like a clown in person :)

I didn't want to mention,but since someone else did, I'll add my two cents. I was also going to say that it looks like everyday makeup wear as well. Seriously, you could do that yourself and save yourself a lot of money. Are you attached to that green color? Or would you mind changing a color if you had to? My first thought,seeing that you are getting married this month, is that you would look FAB in a purple shade, plus, you can def make it more dramatic if you wanted to.
I'm going to try and take photos in a different room... my bedroom is green so I think it's making the colors look off and my shadow look green! It's actually gold black and brown.. be right back!
Also, you could totally pull off the smoky eye look too if you are looking for more of a sexy, dramatic look.
I think that your eyes could use a little more pop, more color or darker colors perhaps?
I think the make up looks good, but it should look striking! I would suggest adding more dark liner to your upper lids for more drama. You could also ask her to add a few of the little single eyelash enhancers to pump up the volume a little bit.
You are so pretty. I concur with other hive members that I might like a little more punch to the eyes, but as you said that could be about the lighting. The thing that hit me first was that you need more color on your lips.
I'M SO STUPID! I didn't have the flash on.... no wonder the pics looked like crap... oy... here come the new ones!
I still think it looks too every day. You eyes don't really pop with that makeup.
I think it looks really pretty. It's basically just a play on a normal smokey eye but adding some color. I would definetly try it!
I think a more "rose" blush would be gorgeous on you and give you a fresh, pretty, bridal look. I also think your lips are lacking. Maybe a darker color.. or less pink/corally would make them stand out better.
yes, play up your eyes more, maybe a plum lip color? something darker to bring them out a little bit....smokey eye would be great with your eyes!
i definitely feel like your eyes need more POP. they are really pretty, but they don't really stand out. i agree with missAsB, it looks very every day wear. you'll look so beautiful on your wedding day! you have such a pretty face. :o)
Thanks girls I have another trial on monday I'll tell her more eye and lip :)
I've never tried a pink blush, I always use bronzer, but I like that idea. Thanks @stassney :)
I dont see any eye liner on you. Am I missing it or did she not put any on? I think that would make a lot of difference!
She put some black liner on, but she said she didn't like it because it made my eyes look small so she took it off.
Should I maybe have her try fake lashes since mine don't really stand out?
I think it looks really pretty, but agree with oKelsio. A little liner along your top lashline may give you the definition that you're looking for. Also, lip color (even just a little) can really make a difference. As can the lighting/time of day you'll be photographed in. Will your 2pm photos be taken indoors or outside?
Edit: Your mascara appears brown to me. No wonder a black liner looked weird. Shouldn't it match the mascara?
The photographs will be mainly outside and it's supposed to be a sunny day
I think you are very pretty, but it doesn't even look like you have makeup on - I see some of the eye makeup, but it looks very everyday as if you were going to work and then maybe out to dinner afterwards.
Wow, I just realized you're getting married next weekend! Congratulations! :o)
Thanks!!! I'm so excited!
I agree that it looks everyday... I'm kind of bummed bc I know I could've done what she did on my own... so based on the advice I've gotten I'm going to tell her to do...
Smoky eye (I'm thinky smoky, but with earth tones?)
Eyeliner on top
*possible false lashes*
Rose pink blush
darker lip
We'll see how it goes!! :)
Anyone want to help me find a photo to bring her?
The mascara is black, but I think maybe some eyeshadow got on it and made it look lighter! oops!
I was trying to look up gals that have similar coloring - - below are some links, I hope you find some of them helpful 
You are a very pretty girl but I agree with the other posters... this look will probably not be dramatic enough to show up in your pictures. I would say that you definitely need more liner outside of your lashes on your top lid. I don't think liner would make your eyes look smaller unless she put it inside your lashes (which she should only do in addition to lining outside the lashline for a dramatic look).
I also think she should put some more color (darker) in your crease... especially towards the outer lid.
The above posters made a wonderful suggestion; a violet or plum color would be very striking on your eyes! If you want to go dramatic with the eyes, go neutral or very light with the lips.
Good luck!
Thanks @jackie-o I especially love the natalie portman one! Would it look weird to have purple in my makeup when there's no purple in my wedding?
