Is this too much for a wedding?

The wedding colors are platinum and navy blue
Tell me what you think (any suggestions would be appreciated)

The colors are good and so is the application, but it seems more night on the town then wedding.

I agee totally I can't wait to do them over

cute tho!

I would tone it down a bit. You may even want to go with colors that compliment the gowns instead of match them.

this is a cute look and I love the color combo but for a wedding, I totaly agree with aziajs - you can try colors that compliment the gowns instead of matching them.

the foundation is great on all three models!! Nice!

Since they all have darker skin, one way to soften it would actually be to use a less intensely white-looking eyeshadow. Like use a sheerer shadow/application or slightly darker color on the inner lid? The bride's looks great though!

very pretty look though!

honestly for weddings, I think the less actual colors the better. There's going to be so much going on, gowns and hair and things that you really don't wanna pull the attention to their faces and away from the other elements. You wanna use perhaps shimmer neutrals that are eye-catching, especially for pictures and things like that. I agree you should try to complement the colors, and just enhance the girls' natural beauty(ies?) with basic, polished looks.

I agree.

The look you have done is well applied, but imo not so suitable for a wedding. I would use more neutral tones so that, even in years time, the bride can look at the wedding pictures and the makeup won't look dated. I'd use more natural earthy tones that just enhance the person's natural colouring.

I totally agree with you all
I have revamp my looks and will post more pics when we do our second consultation
Thanks so much for the suggestions

I love how you were so creative , but for a wedding it is a little much. Personally for weddings i always ask what it is thier looking for 99.9% of the time they just want to photograph beautifully, look pretty, and have the makeup last all day with little to no touch ups, so i make sure the colors wont shift in photographs and make it a beauty culture look. Just emphasize what they have and put your artistic spin on it. The bride to me seemed to have too much of the blush concentrated on the apples of the cheeks, i would blend it back some and not have it as circular as it is. The lip color is fab but needs to be a tad darker to cpmpliment her skintone. The bridesmaid first of all is a beauty!, one thing that should def be worked on is her shadow placement, instead of focusing so much color to shade her outer corners focuseing on shading her inner to make her eyes look alot prettier and closer. Same suggestion for her lips as the bride. A personal suggestion of color for the eye would be, arena or era on the lid, browndown to shade and a lil embark or carbon to define slightly, taupographic shadestick to highlight (i like how it sheens and doesnt look so glittery or frosty, apply a swipe right underneath the brownbone and blend back and forth with the 252 brush, you'll love it, i persoanlly use this trick all the time for fair-medium skin try beigeing.) I hope this doesnt sound mean or anything i just want to see if i could help.
