    I am not much of a makeup person so I am having it done.  I had my trial this weekend and wanted opinions. (Please excuse the hair...I just put it up in a ponytail).

    Thanks!

    I think the blush is a little too concentrated and a little too pink, but otherwise good!

    You look beautiful my dear. Try some fake eyelashes to make those babies POP!

    @KatNYC2011: I agree!

    Maybe ask for slighly more natural blush, so the focus can stay on the fun eye color :)

    I agree with all other posters about the blush. You have some beautiful eyes, play those bad boys up!

    @Mrs.ChubbyBunny: HAHA!  That was with fake lashes!  I am so not blessed in that department.  Maybe I will go for the more dramatic lashes for the wedding.

    I agree about the blush, we will tone that down the day of as well.

    Thanks ladies!

    I love the color on your lips, and I think a little more blending with your blush will make it perfect- but I have to say that I hate all that white on your eyes.  It's a little distracting.  You have such pretty eyes; I would ask them to tone down the white and concentrate more on making them pop with a little more liner and maybe a little more smoky in the outer corners. 

    Also, it might just be your camera but you have shine on your lips, shine on your cheekbones, shine from the white on your eyes- be careful about too much shimmer because it will won't photograph well.

    Yeah, I am not loving the eyeshadow either.  I found this on the smashbox.com website and this is how I would like my makeup to look.

    Smashbox provided details about the colors used and how to apply them. I found all the colors on eBay and ordered them. I think these colors would look great on my MOH (my daughter)too.
    So, I guess I am going to be a DIY Makeup Bride!

    Fun!

    I love Smashbox cosmetics, they're really good quality.

    You might want to check Lauren Luke's channel http://www.youtube.com/user/panacea81 she has a lot of great makeup tutorials :)  I learned a lot from her :)

    I think I am going to do my own makeup.

    Although I don't normally wear makeup and I am certainly not a professional MUA. I think I can do a respectable job. Here is a picture of me when I did my own makeup. I like it WAYYY more than what the MUA did...and I think if I just add a little more to it, it will be perfect.
