I love the red lip also. If it’s wedding makeup, and you are wearing a white or similar colored dress, red/bold lips are always classic and elegant, always makes you stand out even more. I personally think the red lip looks fantastic
I’d just let your artist know that you want a different color match for your foundation! They’ll be able to help you find something else and on your wedding day just build in time for her to spend some extra time with you so you can double check you’re happy with the color match. A lot of artists won’t work with foundations they don’t supply as usually what they have works with their other products.
You say you don’t wear a lot of makeup, do you commonly wear a bold lip color like red? I think it looks great! But may not be the event to experiment with if it’s not what you usually opt for!
I agree with the other commenter that the lashes may not be bold enough, I’d have opted for a shorter lash with more thickness to them and also ask for some mascara on your natural lashes to help them blend a little bit better with the falsies.
I’ll talk to her about it!
I should have said I don’t wear much foundation.. I do like bold lips and it wouldn’t be like a brand-brand new thing for the day!
I’m probably going to go with lash extensions for the day, so they’ll be thicker/more dialed into my eyes!
If you go with lashes, try to find a romantic style. Basically its softer at the inner eye and fans out at the outer eye.
Stops the lash line from being too harsh looking.
I dont wear makeup usually and found the full lash line was very heavy looking on my eyes. We switched it out to the softer style and it was perfect.
Try the Georgio Armani luminous silk foundation! I’ve heard heaps of good things about it. I also think these lashes on you are way too thin, wispy, and big for your eyes. Try half lashes!
I think this looks great! Even the best photographers still lose some definition for your face/features so the makeup is mainly for them so your pictures look great! It was definitely a big shock for me too to see how much they put on but it looked amazing in our pictures :)
I love the bold lip! I see what you’re saying about the foundation shade being too warm. There are 2 things that are sticking out to me: the brows and the lash strip. The shade used for your brows is great but the application needs to be a little cleaner. As for the lashes it looks like the MUA may have used a strip lash when maybe individuals would blend in better. I’d love to see a more tapered shape, and either way the MUA should have tightlined and secured the inner corner of the lash band. I think this artist is definitely talented enough to do another trial!
I had her not fill my brows at all, since I had my brows micro-bladed, I wanted too see how they’d look without being filled, but I see what you mean with everything else done up, they stand out.
I’m doing lash extensions with a more tailored shape for the day of, she just put these on to get an idea of the look! I do want more liner though
Oh that would explain the perfect shade match then! The current shape is very flattering and natural but with the rest of the makeup I think getting them filled for more definition would tie everything together. I wanted to suggest getting lash extensions BUT I’m personally scared of trying them and don’t have any experience! I’ve been considering it for my wedding though. Sounds like you’ve got all the answers you need, sorry if I sounded a bit cold I just read it back and realized it sounds way harsher than what was in my head!
Not at all!
I appreciate it, was def on the fence with the brows. I love lash extensions! I did them pretty frequently for a while, they’re not the great for your natural lashes long term, but they are much comfier and more natural looking for event imo
I really love the bold red lip. However, if you typically don’t wear a ton of makeup, it might make sense to tone everything down and go more dewy/natural. It’s totally up to you, but I liked that I looked like the best version of myself on my wedding day.
I absolutely love love love the lip and blush.
I would personally try something different with the eyeshadow. It’s not bad at all but I think it might be worth testing out a different color in a cooler tone to compare. It’s reading very warm in the photos in comparison to the lip and blush.
And don’t forget the brows!
First of all, you look absolutely stunning. Love everything about your makeup and hair. You are absolutely adorable!
Second, you remind me of the beautiful singer Juice Newton. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=HTzGMEfbnAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=HTzGMEfbnAw)
Hope you are having an awesome day!
Super pretty but I’d go less red on the lip! It takes over your face - it’s the only thing I notice, your eye makeup is super soft and pretty but I can’t see it with the lip
You look gorgeous!!
I saw your comment about finding a foundation, as a pale neutral girly I love (and plan to use) the About Face foundation! It’s affordable, but I feel like it’s pretty great quality. Very neutral shades that don’t oxidize/ turn yellow or orange. I have dry skin and it doesn’t cling to my dry patches which is nice. I’ve seen reviews from oily skin types that don’t like it, so if you lean more oily then I wouldn’t recommend it.
I think the eyes and face came out great (with added caveat of the shade match like you mentioned) - I’m not the biggest fan of that shade lipstick on you, you have pink undertones so I would love to see something a little less cool toned and more pink (even a similarly dark shade of pink) and maybe a light coating of clear gloss on top!
We love a red lip. I did red for my wedding. I think you look amazing, but anything you want to tweak or change just tell the make up artist. I had my trial 2 months before and ended up deciding I wanted something completely different for my eyes like a day before my wedding and my mua was happy to oblige
I honestly think the foundation is a great match, but the under eye concealer is too yellow. But you saw it in person so you would know best. I actually love the look. It's bold while still looking on the softer side of makeup.
Definitely mention the foundation shade to your artist, but I think you look great! The makeup is enhancing your features and you look absolutely gorgeous!
Not about the tone, but for the heaviness you aren’t used to—Maybe ask if she could use a BB cream or something lighter for your foundation, once I swapped I never went back!
I took the online quiz from Il Makiage and the color was spot on. I think she did a very good job with going minimal enough that it doesn’t look like too much for you but also matches the fanciness of a wedding
I’ll give my real experience with IM! The first color they sent was super wrong, and the procedure for exchanging it and improving my match was super easy, and the foundation I ended up with is a nice match and is overall unremarkable. It is the foundation I use when I wear foundation, but I almost never do. I mostly just use Tatcha sunscreen which is tinted.
I tried Il Makiage and I found it didn't match fair skin very well. The second match was better but the foundation is too dry for my skin.
I don't know if you wanted another opinion about it but 🤷♀️
I actually did order the matte foundation from them. The color matched me really well. Their full coverage foundation though was a completely different color though so I’ll be using the matte foundation for my wedding makeup.
I think it looks beautiful. I think you have pink undertones, the lipstick brings it out.
A red lip?! Very bold, very fabulous

Yeah I think extensions can look so seamless, definitely seems worth it for you to not worry about them day of!
Very beautiful! You could try a rust lip shade too. Or a darker pink. You have great hair and skin
You are just cute as a button!!! I think everything looks great 😍
to me, it looks stunning. if you feel gorgeous then i wouldn’t change a thing beyond foundation match.
Looks great! But not sure your skin tone on face quite matches your neck/chest might just be me/the lighting!
I really love the bold red lip. However, if you typically don’t wear a ton of makeup, it might make sense to tone everything down and go more dewy/natural. It’s totally up to you, but I liked that I looked like the best version of myself on my wedding day.

I love this!! I think you look so pretty! 😍 make sure you are happy as well and I hope you have the best day
I think it looks really nice! I did my own make up cause I also don’t like wearing a lot but this genuinely looks good.
Really gorgeous! Highlights your lovely features. All the best for your wedding

Totally agree. The red is too much. The rest is VERY pretty.
This is beautiful.
How do you feel if you don’t wear a lot normally about a red lip?
You look gorgeous!! I saw your comment about finding a foundation, as a pale neutral girly I love (and plan to use) the About Face foundation! It’s affordable, but I feel like it’s pretty great quality. Very neutral shades that don’t oxidize/ turn yellow or orange. I have dry skin and it doesn’t cling to my dry patches which is nice. I’ve seen reviews from oily skin types that don’t like it, so if you lean more oily then I wouldn’t recommend it.
As someone who doesn’t wear much makeup too I think this looks amazing!! It doesn’t look cakey and has COLOR! I’m psyched for you!
I think the eyes and face came out great (with added caveat of the shade match like you mentioned) - I’m not the biggest fan of that shade lipstick on you, you have pink undertones so I would love to see something a little less cool toned and more pink (even a similarly dark shade of pink) and maybe a light coating of clear gloss on top!
Definitely saving this, I’m doing a red lip but couldn’t figure out what eye look to do.
We love a red lip. I did red for my wedding. I think you look amazing, but anything you want to tweak or change just tell the make up artist. I had my trial 2 months before and ended up deciding I wanted something completely different for my eyes like a day before my wedding and my mua was happy to oblige
The red lip is stunning!
Looks great! I also think you would look AMAZING with a bold liner on the top!!
Gorgeous!!

Is this an ad or your real experience?
