  eeping me from giving 5 stars is that I feel there was a lapse in communication between the trial and wedding day. With my very oily skin I suggested she add some kind of setting powder or cream to counteract this on the day of, however, on my wedding day it was like this conversation didn't happen. My bridesmaids and I ended up touching up our makeup with our own oil control powder just an hour after she was finished as we were all pretty shiny. It ended up being fine and we all looked beautiful; it was just more inconvenient than anything.
