The Real Trial - Part 1

The Real Trial - Part 1

The amazing Ashley came over on Saturday to do our real hair and makeup trial. We did one previously, but I didn’t know what I really wanted. She was great. She used my inspiration pictures to come up with the perfect hair and makeup combo.

So, this is me on a normal day. I don’t wear much makeup, save for blush, eyeliner (mostly on the bottom), and mascara. That’s it. I used wear more, but traveling has forced me to simplify.

This is my fancy face, which consists of a little tinted moisturizer, more eyeliner, and a little shadow. I don’t usually wear lip color. My lips would look HUGE. I’m lip salve kind of girl.

Here is Ashley’s handiwork.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the airbrushing. It was so light; it didn’t feel like I had makeup on. Overall, I really like the makeup. I’m not a huge fan of the really light shadow right below my eyebrows. Maybe something a teensy bit closer to my skin color would look better? What do you think of the shimmery shadow? I really like it, but I was also thinking of going with something a little more pink. I really would love to do a green or yellow, but I’m not sure it would go with the borrowed sari.

I do think we need to go with longer lashes. We did medium length flares, with just 3 on each side. I think they made my lashes fuller, but not any longer. I played with the longer lashes a bit on Sunday, and I don’t think they look too crazy, especially since she’d place them on the outer corners only.

What are your thoughts on my look? Was wearing heavy makeup uncomfortable for you or did you enjoy it?

Love your eye makeup! My look was, in reality, a lot more makeup than I usually wear, but it didn’t LOOK like it was…and it was light and comfy and breathable.

No, I think the light eyeshadow below your eyebrows is a good thing! It reads really well in pictures! Overall, fabulous–you look fantastic, and those colors are exactly right for you!!! You look like you’re wearing less makeup than your everyday look! That’s amazing considering you hardly wear makeup. LOVE the whispy hair, too!!!

I agree about the white line under your eyebrows…that’s a little TOO much highlighting…but the rest is very pretty!! (Like she could mess up with your gorgeous mug!)

I don’t mind the shimmer either, in fact I kinda like it
I would try some longer lashes, I wore fake lashes for the first time this weekend for me e-pic and I loved how they made my eyes pop.
P.S. YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!!

Love the makeup and the hair! I like the shimmer a lot! It makes your eyes stand out. I would even say that you go with a little more color on your lips.

I am sooooooooooo excited now! I ws weary about the airbrush makeup (I saw a woman butcher someone at Sephora with the Dior spray on stuff…shudder) but yours look fantastic! As for your questions, I lvoe the overall look, especially with some additional lashes! The shimmer on the brow bone looks good, but I do see your point about it being a TOUCH too much. Is it that defined in person, or is the flash from the camera enhancing it? I dont think it looks bad by any means, but it might look one way in front of a camera flash and another in natural lighting. Overall, B-E-A-UTIFUL!
