Hairstyles
I'd like to wear my hair similar to these styles if I can grow it out long enough:
Hair Trial- 9/26/09
I was a little nervous about my hair trial because I went to an unfamiliar salon and an unfamiliar stylist (I chose it based on location, convenience, and price) but I could not be happier with how my hair turned out! My stylist listened to me about what I liked and didn't like, and did a great job. She was also fast- I was out of there in 45 minutes! I'm also in love with how my veil and fascinator turned out. I was nervous about how they would turn out too, but I think they look great!
Makeup
I think I'd like a smoky eye but with browns instead of charcoal, and a medium pink lip. I definitely want to play up my eyes so I think I may try some false lashes if they don't annoy me too much.
Makeup Trial- 9/20/09
I had my makeup trial on Sunday, September 20. We played around with my eye and lip color until we got a mix of colors that I really liked. The only thing I'm not completely happy with is the foundation. I tried airbrush foundation on one half of my face (my right side) and normal cream foundation on the other half (my left side). I have pretty oily skin so the airbrush didn't work well for me, but my makeup artist warned me of that. Also, it was a rainy day and we had no natural light in the room we were doing makeup in. When I got home and looked at myself in natural light I was very orange! The foundation ended up being too dark and had an orange hint to it, whereas my skin has pink undertones. I'll have to talk to my makeup artist about it, but I'm not too worried because we'll be getting ready at a bed and breakfast the day of the wedding and there should be plenty of natural light to prevent that from happening again. I'm also wearing false eyelashes which I love, but boy are they a pain to get off! The pics below were taken on my front porch about two hours after my makeup was applied.
