I survived my hair and make up trial! (pics)

teeheeyoucrazyguys!, 16 April, 2009 at 17:24 Posted on Planning 0 53

Just.

My bridesmaid - who wears NO make up EVER and doesnt do anything with her hair did really well and looked lovely. Was v v strange seeing her with make up on. The lady doing the make up said to me 'She thinks its too much and this is the lightest I've ever done!' It was perfect.

However, my make up was mixed reactions and crossed wires. My 'smokey eye' look is subtle and not an all over effect which resembles a punched eye. The eyeliner was laid on too thick and tho I was getting oooh and aahs from the salon it just didnt sit well with me. I wanted my own make-up style just done professionally if you see what I mean?

I had blusher too which was a first for me and my red lips looked great.... I came home, re-did my eyes the best I could and sent a pic back to the salon. It was hardly the same, cheapy eyeshadow cant compare to what I was getting there...the photos didnt do it much justice but i'm booked in for another make up trial in a few weeks time.

my hair on the other hand was amazing - its a shame ive had to take it out for his impending return from work.... its not how I imagined and though it stil wasnt dry by the time I had left the shop, once its dried, it wont look so fixed and gelled. I know its going to work so well with the dress.

so i guess u want to see pics?

    Ok Hillier, I feel that as you are a new member, that i need to bring you up to speed...

    I'm having a 1940s loosely themed wedding so if you think I should be on the set of some war movie then you would be correct Smiley smile

    almost there with the loading...

    Wow Teehee, you look amazing! I love the comb, that's going to look great with all the detail down the back of your dress. I know I don't really know what you usually look like, but I actually really like the smokey eyes, at least they'll show up in the photos.

    I love your hair its stunning, and you make up looks great too. Are you going to a salon rather than having someone come to you?

    I looked into this to keep costs down but a couple of people i spoke to said they thought it was a bad idea and would be to rushed, but im still not convinced and could save myself quite a bit of money!

    I'm going to the salon cos I think its such a great part of the day, besides has anyone noticed the glass of red wine in the pic (wink).

    my hair dresser is coming to the evening reception too and has offered to do my hair for my going away outfit, woohooo.

    I really look okay??? honestly? made my BM park near the salon so i didnt have to walk throu town lol

    That hair & make-up is FANTASTIC!!!! Not many ppl can pull that look off but you just have, its amazing. The hair is just out of this world & the way in which it is tied back its unique - the clasp/slide just sets the whole look off.

    Are you having a 40's inspired dress??? x

    Hahahahaha oohla... I hope I do!

    Yes Hillier my dress is modern but inspired by ole 40s hollywood glamour, plunging neckline, off the shoulder slightly.... i wish I could photshop my head on to the dress!

    OH said to me 'If you appear at the alter looking not like you, then I wont marry you' I dont think he has anything to worry about Smiley smile

    Once my roots are done and the waves are brushed out a little to soften them...... I've had to change my salon time to get in earlier though!

    I am and hopefully my 2nd make up trial will go to plan or i'll be doing my eyes myself at their counter, lololol. Not that I think they would mind tbh!

    I'll try and get pics then too.

    thanks for your comments girls, I was nervous showing them as its just not the norm.... so cheers for the confidence boost. Just wish I could have shown OH when he gets home.

    (hes treating me to take away tonight, wooo)
