Trials

I'm happy to say that my hair and makeup trial that took place on Friday was a success.

My stylist came to my house to do everything which was soooooo nice. She'll also be here on the day of the wedding.

I had sent her some hair inspiration pics a few weeks before the trial, but none for makeup. When she got here I kinda told her the colors in the wedding, and that I wanted to look glamorous, yet still like myself. From there she did her thing and finished in about 2 hours including setting up and tear down.

I had airbrush makeup done, and I loved it. I couldn't feel it on and it seemed to last for the 8 hours I kept the makeup on. Here are the pictures of my makeup immediately after it was applied, and then 8 hours later.

Overall the only thing that was different was that the lipstain was a little worn off. But after 8 hours that included eating and kisses, that's pretty good.

Now for my hair I wanted something low. My hair is thin, but I have a lot of it. I made sure not to wash my hair that day, and the stylist still used a ton of bobby pins and hairspray to keep it in place. It felt very secure all day long and I didn't feel like I had to be careful with my movements. I'll post each view of freshly done and after 8 hours side by side to make it easier to notice the changes. Keep in mind that during those 8 hours I took Fritz to obedience class, made dinner that included some steam from pasta, and a lazy movie watching night with Jimmy.

I couldn't tell any differences on this side.

You can kind of see how the bottom is falling out just a bit.

At the bottom you can see some strands that came loose. I attribute this not to the stylist but that Jimmy wanted to watch a movie that night so my head was brushing against the back of the couch. If this happens on the wedding day it could easily be fixed with a bobby pin or two and some hairspray.

The things I would mention to the stylist on the day of the wedding would be to make sure the foundation is well blended because on the right side of my face was a slight line on my jaw line. Also I'd ask if she could hide more of the bobby pins because you can see a lot of them. Other than that I was very happy with everything.
