    Hey all! (sorry about the absurdly large photos no idea how to shrink them)

    Had a trail today and just wanted some opinions. Should I book this makeup artist?

    My wedding is at night on New Years Eve.

    I think it might be a little heavy.  I like the lips, but I think the cheeks and eyes might need to be toned back a bit.

    I think it looks gorgeous, especially for a NYE wedding! I love the eyes...they are definitely dramatic but not too much so...I would say, book her!

    I think the cheeks and eyes are perfect.  The eyes are a teeny bit heavy, however for a nighttime wedding on NYE, I think it's actually perfect.  You look beautiful!

    The only thing bothering me is the lashes look a little over the top...if they are fake ones you might want to try just adding the individual lashes to the outer corners as oppose to one long strip.  Otherwise I think you look great!  I was just in a wedding this weekend and all the girls felt like clowns with all our makeup on but I really think that in pictures it translates much better than in your own bathroom mirror (like we were freaking out in front of).

    I thought your eyes were too much at first but considering your wedding on NYE at night I think you'll need your eyes to be like that.

    Love everything about the make up except that the lashes may be a bit too much. I love falsies, but these are bit too dress-up for me. Get her to use a bit less dramatic lashes and it would be perfect!

    Thanks for all the input!!  

    Was a little unsure because it is heavier then the traditional bridal makeup looks. I know bridal makeup tends to be softer, but I thought night time on NYE a little more dramatic would be appropriate and fun. Just didn't want to look like a clown either!

    I think I am going to go for it!

     

    Just a little side note:

    I picked those crazy lashes!

    She left them "very" dramatic because I requested it. My natural lashes are tiny and had a lot of fun with that! lol 

    For my wedding, they will be considerably shorter and more natural looking, she has many lash choices including the individual ones. That was just for me to have fun with, I totally went out after the makeup trial! =)

    I think your MUA did a great job - and better yet, you look pleased as punch with the result!

    I think its perfect!  Trust me you won't see the makeup that much in your photos, so it's perfect, you have to wear a little more for your wedding.  Plus the photographer isn't going to be up on your face, he will be getting pics of the dress and stuff....I say go for it!

    you should use individual lashes instead...those look a little too over the top. otherwise, you look beautiful!

    Love everything, but I think the lashes are a little too heavy. I think if you toned down the fake lashes just a little it would be perfect :-). Maybe try the individual clusers of lashes, or if that's what she used, use fewer of them? You shadow is really similar to wha tI had for my wedding :-), excpt mine was a little more black. Love it!

    It looks beautiful. At first I was worried they eyes might be a bit too heavy but considering the time of day it actually kinda works.

    Make up is so personal because some like heavy eyes others like a more natural look. The question is do YOU like it and feel pretty?

    I love your makeup but would like to add my one caveat.  You're very pretty, but the eyebrows need a bit (teeny bit) softer arch and make them seem a bit less "done".  
    Lips great.  I love the eyes and lashes.  Perfect makeup for a new year wedding!

    I like it! I think for a NYE wedding it's perfect! What color lipgloss are you wearing? I really like it.

    I like the eye makeup, HATE the eyelashes.  They're just too much, IMO.

    I love the dramatic eyes and the lips are great! I would go a shade lighter on the blush, though :).

    Perfect for a NYE wedding!

    Though, I agree with the other posters about the eyelashes.  I am all for dramatic eyelashes (I am actually considering splurging on extensions for my own wedding) but I think you can find ones that are both dramatic and natural looking.  Have you tried MAC?  Or go with individual ones as they can be dramatic but still blend well.

    I think it looks nice.  It does look a touch heavy, BUT keep in mind that this will look AWESOME in pics. I think anyway.... :D  Very pretty girl!

    You look beautiful - i love the smokey eye, i don't think its too much, however the lashes don't are a bit obvious - see what else she may have. I would even go with a bit more color on the lips.

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the eyelashes (they will make your eyes stand out beautifully in pics) The only think I think you need is a little more of a high light under the eyebrow (it will brighten your eyes while making the smoky effect pop) But Beautiful!

    I think it looks very pretty but maybe if she uses a color that is more of an earthy tone it wouldn't stand out so much? It might still look dramatic but more subtle? Like a bronze or gold?
