I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty

July 11th, 2011 @ 2:01 pm by Mrs. Macarons

I finally had the trial I had been putting off and I’m back to show you the results.

You can always tell how happy I am by the amount of sass in my photos.

Cari’s approach was completely different than my first makeup artist’s. She sort of applied it in stages, letting me check and see if I wanted more. The foundation was perfect, she evened me out while still letting my skin show. The individual lashes were great; I know they’re a little more time consuming but the effect is far more natural and what I’m accustomed to. Mr. Macs didn’t want me to change a thing, but on the big day I’m going to have her define my eyes a little more and go a little heavier on the blush since the flash really washes it out.

As far as the hair I think we’re close. I didn’t have my inspiration photo on hand so Cari tried to do it from memory and based on how I described it. On the big day she’ll vary the thickness and size of the curls in the back and she’ll gather it in more defined sections in the front.

Seeing both hair and makeup together really helped. I’m confident she’ll nail it September.

How were your follow up trials?

Gorgeous!!!!! LOVE the style and the make-up!
I’m looking forward to meeting my MUA (who’s maybe moving to LA! but promises to fly back for the wedding!). I’ve always admired her make-up and our complexions are really similar (except SHE can tan… so jealous) so I know she’ll be able to give me the style I want and not make me look like a Bratz Doll, lol.

Love this one compared to your first. This one seems more natural. I thought you look a bit like Alicia Silverstone actually.

Do you know what lipstick you have for this trial? I really like the colour!

You look amazing, love the makeup and hair! I had to do a couple of follow ups (or really just different trials) to get to the point that I was happy.

@LGenz: I love Cari! I had such a fun time chatting with her at my trial and can’t wait for the wedding.
@Miss High Wire: Aww thanks! You totally rocked your engagement photos BTW. It really makes me regret not doing it.
@spitfire229: I don’t know but I can certainly find out for you if you’d like.
