I stopped by the Laura Mercier counter earlier this week to get a makeup trial done for the wedding and my engagement photo session next week. I decided to go with them because I might as well start with the top of the line makeup counters and compare them to other counters. I was also tempted to go to Bobbi Brown or Trish McEvoy, but the counters were empty with no makeup artists.
All in all, I would give her work an 8 **(star) since I could tell she knew what she was doing by her makeup techniques - blending, creating lids, shadows, highlights on my eyes and cheeks, use of eye liner underneath the eyelashes (a little uncomfortable). The top of her palm was a canvas of different colors.
I was a little worried because most makeup artists that have worked on my face ended f-ing up my eyes, and I would end up looking like some Asian porn star with heavy amounts of eyeshadow and hot pink lipstick. I’ll probably try a couple more makeup artists just to compare.
Here are some pictures… I hope you can tell that I have some makeup on. I was trying to go for the look in the Zhang Zi Yi makeup photos I posted before. Similar makeup but not quite the same effect because of my fat round head! Argh! Ha.
I totally forgot to take a picture of myself before the trial, but I found a picture of me with no makeup.

You’re gorgeous, even without makeup!
I love the glow Laura gave your skin; do you know what products she used?
Miss Apple you’re gorgeous without makeup! I’d like to see a list of products used as well.
I agree with everyone, you look great even without makeup! The makeup artist did a great job and you have really nice eyebrows.
wow! this is PERFECT! it looks so natural! i was seriously floored when i scrolled down and saw your picture ^_^ i sure don’t see a need to go exploring for another artist. this is beautiful, and more importantly, SO YOU!
you do not need makeup at all!!! you are so beautiful!
it’s nice. very soft and natural. you’re very beautiful. you’ve got a nice glow to you. :o)
I think it came out really good! Very natural.
Lovely, dear–looks natural, youthful and appropriate.
I love your website–I’m also getting married and it’s always tough to find the right styles as an Asian American living among the Irish blondes and Italian brunettes.
awww, thanks everyone for posting such sweet comments about my makeup trial. You guys make me feel so pretty! -)
Style Graduate & Creme_de_Violet, I don’t remember all of the makeup she had put on me but I will find out for you! I think I will go back to Laura Mercier counter tomorrow and get a list.
Thanks again for the sweet comments. -)
you look great!!!
your eyes look great!!!
“Beauty is in the bones.”
and you have it 
Beautiful.
Also, I appreciated the celebrity pictures earlier. I hadn’t put much thought into make-up up until now because I almost never wear any. I tried searching for tips on the internet about how to do Asian eyes, because I always hate eyeshadow on me, but I didn’t find anything great.
love the look. i like laura mercier…always natural looking
ok brides to be, i’ve got my list of makeup products i used at laura mercier counter. Iif you guys need me to send them to you, let me know! thanks!
Perfect lipstick color! I have to admit… us women like taking our photos in the car!! I’m guilty of that too!
She did a great job- your skin is glowing and looks very natural. I think the lining on your eyes is beautiful and tasteful.
i like the make-up and you look very glowing…very natural look and it suits you since you don’t (or even need to) wear much make-up anyways. your bud…kat =)

About Me: I'm in the midst of trying to plan a "perfectly beautiful" wedding and decorating my new home. It's been exhausting but totally worth every minute of it. Ironically, I was never the type of person to want to get married but now that I'm engaged, I get giddy over anything that is wedding related! I'll try my best to give you all unique and practical ideas.
