So after sort of getting ideas of what I wanted to do with my makeup I decided I'd take the plunge and line up two makeup trials. In the end, they were both different experiences. One is a professional makeup artist who works in television; one does makeup as a side job. One was VERY late; one was on time to the minute. One seemed very skilled; one seemed skilled but not as much as the other. One used much more makeup on me; one used much less. For one, I was able to see her skills with airbrush, the other one I would not, which is hard because she intended to use it on the wedding day. One felt like I was hanging out with my friend, the other was very sweet but I wouldn't say we could seriously chill (this is not a prereq for any wedding helper, but hey, it can't hurt, right?)
So how did they both turn out? Before I show you, please let me preface this by saying that I am usually freaked out by wearing makeup AND lately I've been taking some really, REALLY bad pictures.
Contestant #1
Yeah...ummm...not my most photogenic here, but you get the idea right? I think the lipcolor will be slightly different the day of. Also just as a reminder, I will be having a daytime wedding so as an official "makeup fraidy cat," I asked for softer colors and nothing too dramatic.
Contestant #2
Okay, Hive...as a friend would say "Miss Swan, you look kinda...extra." Yeah, I'm going to agree here..not because of the makeup job but because I look a bit dimented. I'm my own worst critic I guess. This makeup job was very subtle.
I won't say which one I picked, but the choice is yours, Hive.

Black Sheep did "The Choice is Yours" I was just listening to it this morning on the way to work!
I forgot to add... I went with #1. I could just be the lighting, but the colours blended better in choice #1. I'm the same way, I rarely wear make-up (I just fill in my brow and a little mascara). Love the neutral tones!
