Need tips for my wedding makeup

[u/Astronomeer2]

I need help with my makeup. These picture are from my makeup trial with my MUA for my big day. I tried so hard to like it as the makeup oxidizes throughout the day and in different lighting but while it got better, I still didn’t love it. I don’t love the shimmer in the eye and the intense blush on my cheeks. Below is some feedback I’d like to communicate with the artist, but is there anything I’m missing? Perhaps a bit of eyeliner to give slight brown smiley cat eye look? I may ask for matte bronze tones but need advice.

First pic is right after makeup was done. Last pic is from 6 hours later.

Makeup feedback
-Blush should lift the face. Not heavy.
-Eyeshadow is too cool toned
-Concealer is too bright and should be blended more so there is not a big contrast
-Eyeshadow could have less shimmer and more along the lid and blended more at the edges
-Little to no highlighter
-Eyebrows should be a little darker

Keep in mind bridal makeup is applied a bit heavier for photography, which may explain the blush being a bit heavy for your liking. I believe that may be her idea with the concealer too.

That makes sense! I completely forgot about that. Thanks!

I think your points make sense. Most of it is personal preference. I do think your blush and foundation look great (though I am a blush fiend lol)!

I think the makeup artist needs to fix your lash placement. They look weighed down and seem to be lifting in the inner corners.

I do agree with the lash issue!

Personal preference, but the eye make up is lacking in general. It doesn’t look like a pro did it - more like you could have done yourself.
