How to get over my heartbreak about my wedding make up
It was a destination wedding so we had no time for trial or anything similar. I like wearing make up but i would like to leave everything to a professional since I want the day to be relaxed and stress free but that is not what happened. Her portfolio looked great as well. The make up artist came late which means we also began setting up late. I showed her a korean hair and make up inspo (glowy and dewy, hair half up and down with waves not curls) but I ended up getting a western version (matte with heavy contour, my hair looked short because of the curls) it also made my face look bigger. I am asian so i thought an asian make up style would fit me the best. The stylist was friendly and nice but unfortunately I hated how i looked in the end but I didn’t have any time to change or say anything because she finished 15 minutes before the wedding starts and I had to sprint to the wedding venue with my heels on 🥲 I hated how I look in the photos because the make up was not generally bad it just doesn’t fit me. It doesn’t feel like me at all. My face has this weird heavy contour zero glow or dewy my eyebrows were so thick. They say it’s for the make up to be visible in the photos but hell nah I looked horrible in my photos too. My face looked bigger because of the contour and my hair style. I honestly cannot afford a post wedding shoot or new stylist so all I could do was stare at my photos and cry.
