The Trial Before the Trial

December 7th, 2010 @ 1:10 pm by Mrs. Zebra

I have always had a strong passion for hair and makeup. Whenever I went to a bridal salon and every time I visit Adeline (my wedding dress) I do my hair and makeup in a sort of pre-trial trial. So, without getting too wordy on you here are two of my main contenders…

Formal Side Ponytail

Bright Eyes

Traditional Eyeliner

Pink Accents

I’ve got a few more test hairdos before I completely decide. I purchased hair extensions in order to create the length I’ve always wanted. Unfortunately my real hair gets to a certain length and never seems to get any longer. I’m at that length right now. I’m digging the makeup in the second set. Actually, I’m digging the second set altogether. Can you tell what my favorite shirt is? Hehe.

Which look do you like?

I like everything about the first one! I feel like you look so glamorous! I LOVE the hair and think it will look awesome with extensions. Not so much for the second hairdo - I think because it makes half of your head look empty. I like the make up in the second one as well but I think the first make up pops more!

I like the make-up better on the second one but the hair better on the first. I think securing your hair in some way will be a lot more convenient than having it down. If you’re getting married inside, either make-up option is flattering, but if it’s outside (or you want pictures outside), I think the second look just makes you look so fresh and glowy!

Both are pretty on you, though I really like the formal side ponytail hairstyle on you and the 2nd make up.

The makeup in the 2nd set really shows off your natural beauty. :)

Though whichever you choose - you’ll look beautiful! Good luck!

I’m with most other PPs, I love the side-pony from the first look with the make-up from the second look. I don’t know if the pictures just don’t show the right angles, but something about the second hairstyle just looks a little odd to me. The side-pony looks lovely!

Both are pretty, but personally I prefer the first look. It seems more done up than the second look. Though, I suppose it just depends on what kind of look you’re going for. :)

I think I like them both - and maybe its just the angle, but the 2nd one seems a little severe - a much tamer version of the 80’s punk rocker who shaved one side of his head. The first one seems more elegant.

Number 1 is gorgeous and looks really balances because the bangs kind of sweep one way and the pony is on the other side. Heart. If you really like the side-swept hair down look, maybe ask your stylist to put bigger curls in, or tease it a bit. I have seen that look work really nicely but I think it needs a lot of volume for some drama/intentionality. Love both makeup looks - they both really suit you in different ways, tough call!

Take the hair and eyes from look one, and the blush and lips from look 2!!! OMG it would be perfect!!!

You wouldn’t look as “done-up” as look one but you would still have that lovely *pop* from those purple eyes! <3

(However realize I’m REALLY biased towards purple XD)

Oh gee, you’re just so pretty in both, it’s hard to choose!!! I really like the make-up in both photos. I think it all kinda depends on the look you’re going for, do you want to look dramatic and made-up or au nataurel? And I think I slightly prefer the side-ponytail hair-do but honestly, you’re a-gonna be gorgeous no matter what!
