I had my frist make-up trial Saturday with Loann To of Let’s Get Beautified (letsgetbeautified@yahoo.com). I wasn’t sure what to expect because I don’t usually wear a lot of make-up (even though I need it). The contradiction is I actually don’t want too “natural” of a look for my wedding. I want a little “drama” for pictures’ sake. I’m definitely not a “light pink” kind of girl.
I was very happy with my trial. Loann is doing free trials until the end of the year so I got really lucky. She was really sweet, listened to what I wanted and since the trial was free she wouldn’t even accept my tip. What do you guys think? Honesty would defnitely be appreciated. 
My feelings won’t be hurt I promise (well….just don’t comment on my “before” picture…..that’s the way I look in the morning).
BEFORE (the horror the horror! Why am I posting this?):
AFTER (woohoo…she has potential):

You look beautiful! Very sexxxxy!! The makeup looks great, I esp love the dramatic eyes and nice lip color but the blush seems a little too pink. eh? Everything else beautiful ! Great trial~!
oh your eyes definitely pop! you look soo perty. =)
Gorgeous! Perfect lip color! Eyes are natural but dramatic if that makes sense
Oooh! She did a great job with your skin and makes you every ounce the blushing bride
You look gorgeous…although I would consider the make-up more natural then dramatic.
your skin looks amazing! and the makeup seems fresh and natural, to me, not too dramatic but very suited to your coloring.
You look gorgeous in both pics! Your eyes look gorgeous! =)
wait your hair is straight in the last pic - it looks great! i think she did a fantastic job on your makeup. wow free trial plus no tip too - amazing!
it is right in between natural and dramatic — i do makeup in nyc for top headshot photoraphers, and this is the kind of makeup i opt for when working — it is just enough to really make you “pop” in the photos but not enough where what people are seeing and commenting on is the makeup itself. you don’t want the makeup to be something people can really point out, you instead want them to talk about what a goreous, glowing, blushing bride you are. i would really consider booking her. plus that she is doing free trials is really wonderful.
i just had my trial with her as well this past saturday. when was yours? i know another girl on the knot who had one this past weekend as well.
isn’t she just so bubbly and sweet?
GORGEOUS! Really. You should definetly go with it. It highlights your features wonderfully.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
I had my trial at 1:00PM and YES I am a knottie. She had a couple trials that day huh?
very nice! but i agree with ms. apple - i think the blush is a little bit much, maybe she can try something a little more subtle for the cheeks
I love LoAnn! She did my make-up for my wedding (11/25) and it lasted all night! And I used her awesome fake eyelashes on the day of and they were a big hit! I felt very comfortable. I think you look great in all the pics. Your skin looks glowing. I highly reccommend LoAnn!
I would suggest more intense lipstick, something more glossy for the glam effect. Also some highlight cream on the cheek bones and brow bone to bring out the evening glow. I hear what you’re saying about not being “light pink”, I told my makeup artist to go “all out”, as long as I don’t look like a drag queen I’m not shy to experiment.
i love your eye-makeup. not overly done, but beautiful!
i wish i could find someone like that in nj/nyc!
Looks great! I think your eyes could be played up even more, though I really know nothing about make up.
