Wedding eye make up help....... ?

Question

hi there,

I am getting married next year and i have really bad black circles under my eyes, i think it's hereditary (my mum has them) and no matter what i do i can not get rid of them, i can honestly say hand on heart i have spent hundreds of £'s on 'miracle creams'...... and nothing at all works soooooo my question is..... does any one else suffer like this (it does get me down some times i'm only blo*dy 30) and if so can you recommend a good product that will cover them up ?

I am white with a slight tan, not dark but don't look like death warmed up either lol.

Thanks in advance x

Answer 1

ok i am going to school next year to become a make-up artist so here are my tips that i hope help you out. if you are not going to get it professionaly done like some brides to have airbrush make- up the best bet to go with is natural looking. of course concealer for those dark circles. physicians formula with the double dose of concealer works on me. use the yellow concealer cream first then the beige cream goes over it so it helps to belend with the foundation. and congrats!

Answer 2

you just need under eye concealer to cover it up. i use max factor and it works well. but there are tons of different brands and different colors. just find one that matches up to your skin color.

Answer 3

Try Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals.

Answer 4

Some concealer and foundation should cover it just fine. Also, try to get a facial a few days ahead of time to relax the muscles.

A good concealer should do the job but perhaps you might think about a colour balancing cream underneath, I think yellow should be right for you (the body shop do them) but have a play with what does the trick.

As for concealers, YSL's touch eclat is a favourite of mine and most other women and they do a matching foundation with the same light-reflecting pigments in that should bounce light off your skin and make you look radiant.

Of course, if you're really worried about them, get your make-up done professionally. I've had a professional do mine a few times before and they really know how to get your base right even if they're sometimes a bit misguided on what colours suit you.

I don't know if there is an Ulta where you live, but I have the same problem and this stuff really works! ULTA Exclusive! Little Amazing Concealer - by Amazing Cosmetics. It's $28 but soooo worth it! I live by it! And it's what I'm using to cover up on my wedding day! I have a slight tan also and I use Golden Light. But you should check it out. Here's the website...

By the way..Bare Minerals is horrible! I spent $75 on it and nothing. It doesn't conceal. Don't waste your money.

If you have a shopping mall near you with department stores, go to their makeup counters and ask for a free consultation. Hopefully they can recommend a product for you to use.

Actually, I think any makeup store would recommend a good product to you without charging you ... mainly because they want you to actually purchase that product. They want your business, so it's in their best interest to give you good advice.

If you can afford a professional makeup artists to do your wedding-day makeup, I would also consider that.

It might be that you and your mom have a iron deficiency. Eat iron rich foods like Animal Sources : liver, kidney, chicken and turkey, tripe, shellfish, lean meat, fish tinned, fresh or frozen Non-Animal Sources: dried fruit, nuts, molasses, wholegrain breads, dried beans and lentils, green leafy vegetables, cereals and iron-fortified cereal. Or get yourself a iron supplement from the local drug store. As far as makeup is concerned. Use a lighter concealer under your eyes than the concealer matching your skin type. Make sure it is evenly blended and use a light powder all over. Good luck and relax.  

Answer 10

Since you'll be doing your own makeup, get some expert advice first. Go to Sephora or a makeup counter that you like (Clinique, MAC, whatever) and tell them your situation (you may want to call and make an appointment first, sometimes they get busy).

The makeup artist will do a trial run for you. Have her explain each step, pay attention to the techniques and the products that she's using. Take notes if you need to. Make sure she takes the heat/humidity into account. Practice once or twice on your own before the big day. Then, when you do it yourself, you can be confident that it looks professional.

There is a product called dermablend.I've seen that do wonders on people. But it is very heavy and if you don't buy the setting powder with it, it will be all over your dress.Congradulations and enjoy your day.
