Hair & Makeup Trial

May 7th, 2007 @ 1:28 pm by Mrs. Bell Pepper

I had my first and perhaps final hair/makeup trial this weekend with Philadelphia stylist Cali from Calista Brides. I guess it’s kind of late to have a hair trial, but I was waiting for my hair comb and earrings to come in so I could see how everything looked together. I was a little nervous to schedule the trial so late. I mean, I noticed several girls doing like 3-4 hair trials!? What was I thinking? Well, luckily the trial went quite well and here are the two updos she created:

Updo #1

Here’s the 2nd updo. It’s gorgeous but I don’t think it’s me. I feel like the “Bride of Frankentstein” with this updo. But I do love how the hair comb sits at the top of the curls.

I gotta say I love the makeup the most. I never thought anyone could make my eyes look smoky! It’s a cool effect and I love the lipstick color, too.

So I’m still debating which hairstyle I should go with. Which do you think looks better? Updo #1 or #2?

I love both styles! If you are having a more formal wedding, I would go with the second one. If your wedding is more laid back, I would go with the first one.

LOVE #2, you may feel bride of frankenstein, but look gorgeous! And, if it’s a little out of character, I think that’s good–it’s something different and dramatic for what friends and family are used to seeing. :-)

I agree. I love #2 and if you’re having a formal evening wedding it’s perfect, if you want to go more laidback though #1 is still gorgeous. I just love the volume on your second hairstyle. btw I love the hair pin!

Oooooh! They are both so pretty! I like #2 best but I think that if you aren’t happy/comfortable with it you might worry about it all day. If that is the case then go with #1 just so that you won’t be distracted by it. They are both beautiful so I don’t think you can make a wrong choice here. Love the comb and earings too!

I love #2 too, but don’t feel pressured into choosing that one if you’re not comfortable with it. Your wedding day should reflect you and your style! Both are beautiful choices btw.

both styles look great and the accessories are fabulous! i’d suggest not having the hair pin right on top of your head. it’s so beautiful but you don’t really see it in all it’s splendor and i don’t think you’ll get many pictures of the top of your head. just a suggestion!

If that many people are going to be staring at the back of your head for that long, I would want the more sleek and controlled look of 2. But yes, as previous folks have said, it’s completely your call!

Also like #2. If by “bride of Frankenstein” you mean it’s too tall (or too tall for your groom) maybe it could be a little flatter on top?

Love the rich lipstick shade.
