Yesterday was my second make up trial. The first make up artist I went to made me look like a tranny! Luckily a friend recomended a new artist, who over all I think did a great job. BUT here's my question... In person I felt like my cheaps had a lot of bronzer on them and my lip color was too brown. When I took photos my face looks SO SHINY!!!! My fiance said it's our camera but I am not so sure! What do you guys think? Also, since I will be using her, should I go back and make sure she gets the colors right before the big day?? (Her trials are free since we works at a Neimans counter).< alt="Make Up Trial Madness : wedding make up trial " / p>

haha I meant my cheeks not my cheaps :)
Ok here are two photos. Ugh so shiny!!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/25861709@N06/show/
Your makeup is beautiful, but definitely shiny. Maybe she could set it with powder or something? The colors are great though.
Thanks! You don't think it's too brown?
Shiny yes. But I think the colors are good. You look awesome. Maybe some blotting papers? Or talk to her about using a different foundation?

Holy shiny! The colors are nice but the shine is out of control. I have the same problem. My makeup artist is combatting the shine with two products: she starts with the Rose Face Mask by Fresh (http://www.fresh.com/html/skincare/treat.shtml) and then preps my skin with an application of Estee Lauder Clear Difference Oil Control Hydrator (http://www.esteelauder.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY5865&PRODUCT_ID=PROD6222)
The combination is refreshing and soothing and works well to control the shine. Maybe they would work for you too.

Thanks maybe I'll try it. It's just weird because my skin isn't greasy so I dont know why it photographed that way!!

I think the lips are a little too brown... it's a bit more of a mature look, so depends what you are looking for.

you eyes look amazing!! you look great!! maybe rice blotting papers to control the shine?? lipstick may be a little too "coral" or a bit "orange-ish" but really your skin is flawless adn the makeup is not too much - it's just right! since you'll be at the nm counter again - maybe ask for shine control on your next trial?? have fun!!
Apparently if your foundation has a lot titanium dioxide in it, then you'll be shiny in photos. It is in a lot of makeup as a binding agent, but foundation with SPF tend to have a lot of it, as it's a cheap sunscreen agent. It essentially reflects light - good for sunscreen, bad for photos. So, I'd check the amount of titanium dioxide, if you can, or go for a foundation that is SPF free. MAC's Studio Tech is supposed to be good, but I've never used it.
I'm using mineral make-up, which has a lot of titanium dioxide in it, so it tends to shine, but my make-up artist is using a finishing powder over it to take out the shine. My trial was yesterday and I love they way it turned out. I still have to download the photos, but from looking at them on the camera there is no shine. Ask your make-up artist to use a finishing powder to cut down the shine (no a mineral based powder).
I finally posted my make-up preview pics --- I'm wearing mineral make-up with a finishing powder to lessen the shine. I think it worked pretty well! YOu can see them at http://calioc.blogspot.com/
Good luck!

Your eyes are beautiful!!!
I would have to agree with the shininess factor. I think you need a different foundation.
I would also agree with some above posters that maybe a more pink lipstick would be nice. It's completly up to you and what suits your style. But definitly stick with the eye makeup!

Callocteach, You're make up looks beautiful! I normally wear mineral make up too. I am going to go back and show her the photos so she sees how shiny I looked. Also, I agree with everybody.. the lip color is way too brown. Thanks everybody!!!!!!!
It is a bit shiny, but some powder will definitely tone it down a bit. Overall, the look is great, but I also echo the comments about the lip color; something softer will look glam!
This is my result of two make-up trials. I remember that the first make-up artist used MAC products not mineral based and the second was definetly mineral based. Funny thing is: I did not like the first make-up but I really liked how the second make-up turned out when we finished the trial session. But on the pictures I like it the other way around. I really like how the first one turned out on the pics. The second one is kind of shiny. Now: is the first one worth the 500 USD more that we would need to spend?

Very shiny... it makes you look greasy. The colors are beautiful and very flattering on you though. you should have her set you in powder and use a matte foundation to stay away from shine. Photographers recommend going matte for a wedding.
