Makeup caked on or less coverage in pro photos?

It was pretty enough at least

I think the pro makeup still looks like you and not caked on. It looks awesome

You look great both ways, but I wonder if there's a compromise that would make you happier. Professional photos tend to look best with heavier makeup than most of us would wear everyday. But what if you kept a full coverage makeup look but toned down the eyeliner and brought the lip color down a shade or two? You can definitely find a happy medium that makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself!

View Quoted Comment I was thinking the exact same thing about the lip shade and eyeliner Agreed! You look beautiful in both pictures but I hadn't even considered that the camera might "need" more makeup than we're used to. That's going to be a new experience for me, too, because I never wear makeup haha. Good luck! You'll look wonderful!

I agree the eyelinner does not have to be extended as much. I love the lip color you applied.

I think the pro makeup looks gorgeous!

Could you ask the pro to try a different look? Maybe find something more natural on pinterest and have her try that look? You look amazing both ways, btw!!! I dont think the pro version is too much, personally, but I enjoy wearing makeup on a regular basis. I completely understand how it would feel too much for you when you aren't a huge makeup person. The bottom line is do whatever makes you feel most comfortable for your big day!!!

View Quoted Comment I like this idea!!! Tone down the pro makeup in a few areas to reach a happy medium. Overall, I think you look beautiful both ways, so do whatever makes you happy!

Girl- you look great either way and your photographer will make sure you look great! I was terrified my acne would ruin everything. In the three months before my wedding, it got to the worst it’s ever been; cystic, scarring, oily and flakey on my face, neck, back, chest all at once! And my dress was strapless sooooo all of it was to be on display. I was worried about going all out on my makeup and my sisters (who both looove makeup) went the full nine yards on me- fake lashes, double coverage, highlighter and a bunch of other stuff I had no idea you could do 😂 I normally only wear mascara and just leave my acne free to the world. So it was intimidating... but if there’s a day to go all out it was definitely the wedding!! I do not regret it one bit. Here’s a photo of my bare/normal face and my wedding makeup for the drastic comparison...

They somehow hid all the things 😂

You looked amazing! Absolutely stunning!

I think that the pro makeup is beautiful, but maybe not as natural looking like you are used to wearing. I agree with a lot of the ladies above. Do a nice smoky eye shadow, but have them tone down the eye liner. Maybe do a smaller wing or no wing at all. The lipstick is gorgeous, but if you are wanting a more natural look, maybe do a nice rosey pink color or a darker red. But beautiful either way!!
