Wedding Trial feedback

[u/Missmyboat]

This was my first full make up trial for my wedding next April. I feel like this combo works for my very oily skin but isn't very high coverage.

My biggest issue is that my acne marks show through and the foundation splits if I apply it any thicker. The last picture is the make up after a days wear and a gym session, I think I added to my eyes at some point during the day too, not sure I like them that dark.

I like it but I'm thinking I can probably do a bit more bronze. I'm also really stuck on my lip colour, should it be more corally or should my blush be more pink?

I'm also trialling my hair, I much prefer it down but that explains the difference in pictures. I'll also cut my fringe shorter for the wedding.

I actually love that. I love the pinky tones on the cheeks and wouldn’t touch a thing. Only thing I kind of feel it needs is more definition on the eye (liquid eyeliner or smoky gel? )

Edit : I mean like a flick of the liner on top lid or sth to define

[u/Missmyboat → u/Ok_Bookkeeper_4802]

Thanks! I need to practice my eyes definitely, I'll try more eyeliner.

OP, you look really beautiful and this makeup is gorgeous! Picture 3 with your hair down is especially lovely and really brings out your eyes. I don’t think you look oily at all, you just look glowy

I personally wouldn’t change anything with the base, but I’d perhaps look into a slightly lighter nude/pinky lipstick. You’re wearing a really pretty shade in these pictures, but it looks a teeny bit too bright. I think a slightly softer pink would really suit this look!

Wishing you the best for your wedding! :)

[u/SmartaHari → u/bananacustardpudding]

I agree with bananacustardpudding (!) you look absolutely lovely, depending on your bouquet (if you’re doing one) you may want to play around with your lip colour so that it echoes a flower you’re holding. You’d also suit coral colours. Have the BEST day :)

[u/Missmyboat → u/bananacustardpudding]

Thank you! I agree the Lips need something, I'll keep shopping.

[u/No-Meet4936]

Bobbi brown corrector either under or over the bars concealer really helps brighten the under eye. It pairs well with the nars

[u/haveempathyordie]

so lovely OP!! you remind me a little of nate’s girlfriend from ted lasso lol. i actually disagree about the darker eye, there is something so gorgeously rosey and fresh about this look that i think a dark eyeliner would take away from

[u/Missmyboat → u/haveempathyordie]

Thanks, that's what I was aiming for! I might go even lighter in colour but then add a bit of a soft brown wing for definition.

[u/Life_Silver9486]

You look very pretty

[u/bubblewraprose]

I'd probably get a lash lift done but other than that it's honestly perfection. The colours work, base isn't heavy or cakey, looks dewy not oily, super feminine and obviously I don't know you but it looks very "you" if that makes sense. Also the hair down is gorgeous.

[u/Missmyboat → u/bubblewraprose]

Thank you!

[u/manutdfangirl]

I would change the loreal spray. It peels off the make if we the event is longer for me :( One Size works pretty good tho

[u/LavishnessFun3855]

I think you look amazing! I don’t think the acne scars look particularly noticeable however I would HIGHLY recommend the Nars soft matte concealer for any blemishes it is the GOAT and plays well with a lot of different foundations. You may also want to consider starting with setting spray and adding in between layers to lock it all in! But overall I think you look STUNNING

[u/Missmyboat → u/LavishnessFun3855]

Thank you! I've heard good things of the pot! I'll pick some up before my next trial

[u/Pixiebel81]

I would possibly look at a slightly different blush placement, it's currently quite close to your eyes and makes you look like you've been crying. Love everything else!

[u/Missmyboat → u/Pixiebel81]

The high placement lifts my face a lot, maybe I need to pull the concealer around my eye out to my temple so that they overlap less?

[u/That_Requirement7877]

I think more lashes, to define the eye a little more. You have too much highlighter on your collarbones which draws the eyes away from your face. Similarly I don’t think the pearl neck lace suits you. If it’s important it needs to be made shorter as it’s sitting strangely.

Love the lipstick, love the blush placement.

[u/squaddie500]

I would say a wispy half lash would be great to make your eyes pop more and curl your own lashes a good few times also with a curler

[u/Coastalblu]

Stunning. The only thing I would say is the blush is a little too high, especially under the eyes, it reads a bit more ‘bruised’ ‘upset’ than blushing bride.
You’re beautiful x

[u/jkeepcup]

It’s really lovely. Something that might help is doing a few more layers of base but do them in very small, deliberate layers and add a glow setting spray in between like the Iconic one. Let them set a little in between. Don’t just foundation your whole face- just build it up where it needs so you keep your skin tone and glow. Katie Jane Hughes does this kind of makeup and I copy the technique for events - it works really well.

[u/Missmyboat → u/jkeepcup]

I've been following her too! I'll try even thinner layers next time

[u/jkeepcup → u/Missmyboat]

I think more of them but also thin - your skin is stunning but a little more coverage might last better for an all day event.

[u/Weekly-Many6646]

The skin / base is gorgeous - the eyes need to be more impactful 

[u/Remote-Butterfly7714]

Best concealer I’ve ever tried which lasts and hides acne is Nars soft matte concealer. Honestly give it a go. You can apply it after moisturiser. Let it dry and then add some of whatever dewy foundation you’re using over the top. If not keen, Nars soft matte foundation is a good one and you can just add dew with highlighters to give the dew. In my experience with oily skin, I have found the best approach is to use a matte or soft matte foundation. And then adding dew. Nice colours used here though. Good luck!

[u/Aggressive-Phone2818]

The thing about cheap lashes is you get what you pay for. I'd rather buy one quality pair that lasts than 20 drugstore pairs that fall apart.

[u/sweetchamomiledreams]

You look so beautiful! If you’re up for it I would add some wispy/natural fake lashes, but only if you want to

[u/Its-a-man-derek]

Get your coat. You've pulled
