Final Makeup Decision

June 25th, 2007 @ 12:15 pm by Mrs. Corn

Having to choose between Mary at Studio 505 and Jennifer at Wedding Tresses was very difficult.

Mary was considerably out of my price range, but I loved how at ease she made me feel and I really liked how natural the make-up looked; however I thought my eyes were a little dark and small.


Jennifer at Wedding Tresses was also incredibly nice and she made my eyes do things that I didn’t even know were possible; by the time she was done they were huge, and she gave me that ‘ethereal bridal’ look that is so popular now. But I somehow felt like a clown with all the make-up on and even after 4 different applications of lipstick, she still hadn’t figured out what I meant by a nude lip.


I mulled over the decision for quite a while, but in the end, I decided to go with Mary. I knew if I asked her to, she could also make my eyes look a bit bigger and less dark. I also highly appreciated her professionalism and customer service.

Additionally, just out of coincidence, after each trial I had to go into a public venue to do something specific. After my trial with Mary, I didn’t think anything of the fact that I was wearing make-up when I walked into a crowded restaurant but after my trial with Jennifer I was mildly embarrassed to go into the mall because of all the make-up I had on.

Lastly, Mr. Corn had a chance to see both in person and his quote from when I came back from Wedding Tresses was “it’s pretty…but you don’t look like you”.

Good choice! I have small eyes too and my makeup artist put some fake individual lashes at the corner of my eyes that opened them way up. My fiance kept saying he couldn’t believe my eyes. Maybe you should ask for some fakeys too.

That’s the most important thing — to look like yourself — your best self!

I once met a friend’s new wife for the first time and it was remarkable (according to her new married family, even) that she was not recognizable from her wedding photos. The photos were really very pretty at a distance — but had sort of stage makeup-ish effect, not at all natural.
