    Just had my make up trial last night (not hair, doing that at a salon.) And since I never had airbrush before, I had her do it so I could see if I liked it, and I think I did. But, I definitely was shocked when I looked in the mirror and felt like I didn't really look like me. But, I know everyone says that - and that bridal make up is supposed to be more so it shows up in pictures. I asked her for a fresh look, with kind of a smoky eye (but more bronze, gold, brown colors), and kind of a pink lip. I'm wondering: do you think its too much eye make up? Too much bronzer? Should I have gone with more of a colored eyeshaddow link purples or pink or silver? Should I darken the lip color?

     

    Here's a picture of me without make up (or very little).

    And here's me with the make up:

    And my hair will be some thing close to this:

    Definetely not too much, looks very elegant and natural.  Maybe go a little darker on the lip.

    I think your makeup looks beautiful but I think you need a little more blush.  Other than that I wouldn't change anything :)

    I love it how it is! It still looks like you just with some makeup on. When I got mine done I told them I still wanted to look like me, just a glam version and I think that is what you are, still you just glam!

    I looks gorgeous but I would go just very slightly darker on the lips.

    She added bronzer to me too, so my face definitely looks tanner than the rest of me. But hopefully I can change that next weekend — bachelorette weekend at the beach!

    I should also add that I'll be wearing a birdcage veil and lace/feather fascinator, as well as a lace bolero my mom made from her wedding dress (which she also made back in the late '70s!)

    Can anyone reccomend some really good lip glosses that have color? I never wear anything on my lips. She told me that I'd need to get my own colored gloss for the day to keep reapplying and suggested some kind of mauve or peachy color. Any good brands/colors you know of?

    I think you look beautiful!  However, I would rather see pink or purple shadow.  You can still have a smoky eyes w/ those colors.  It would make your eyes brighter for photos.

    Love! I think you can go a little darker on the lips as your lipstick will wear off throughout the day
