Make up trial disaster really effected my confidence

As per the title I’ve had a make up trial with a very well known and successful company and they wasn’t cheap either however I hated it!

I feel like I looked 10 years older , I suddenly had wrinkles I didn’t have before , it looked cakey , drawn on I honestly didn’t like one single thing so I ended up cancelling it.
I am going to do my own make up now however this issue I’m having is it’s really effected my confidence I feel like make upon no longer looks good on me ( I usually wear every other day ) I feel like I can now see every little imperfection , I feel terrible about myself but I didn’t feel like this before hand I don’t know what to do the wedding is in a few months and I don’t want to go out now because I feel like everyone is staring at my face.
It doesn’t help that after the trial my skin has exploded so I think my skin didn’t agree with the products, so that’s just another issues I’m fix saying on 😔.
Am I just picking on everything because my weddings come up ? Has anyone else felt like this it’s really getting me down.

Don't let badly applied makeup put you off all makeup. In my view, no one looks good in that very 'over made up' style - although it does seem to be getting very popular, especially among younger women.
Do you have any pictures of yourself wearing makeup that you like? Maybe have a look at them and remind yourself of what you did makeup-wise then and how good it looked.
Some big department stores sometimes offer free makeup consultations - maybe going for one of those might help? Explain beforehand that you are wanting something light and natural and hopefully they won't recommend that 'cakey' look!
Alternatively, you could just do what I did and not wear any makeup at all!
Whatever you decide, it's important that you trust your gut feeling. By all means ask a friend for their opinion on your wedding makeup if you want to, but remember that you were the one who realised the makeup trial didn't suit you, so there is no reason why you are not going to realise what does suit you instead.
