Wedding makeup tips?

Question

give your very best advice for someone doing their own makeup for their wedding (and no, you cant talk me out of getting someone else to do it, i hate how others make you look like a cake face, and i dont care about not having enough makeup on for the photos. so forget it. lol) so,

Im very very pale, big blue eyes which is my best feature. Small face, blonde hair, small-med lips, good cheekbones. Can get red blotches here and there as my skin is sensitive and dark circles under my eyes because of my large eyes.

what say you?

colours?

must have items?

tips?

application hints?

im thinking soft browns and shimmer on my eyes, a rose pink/gold blush and a soft pink on my lips but need kissproof stuff.

any brands or items you can suggest?

Answer 1

OK! Well I suggest that first of all you start testing out different make ups. You might even want to go to like JC Penny, Dillards, Nordstrom, ECT.. and have them TEST makeup on you. I would recommend that you spend a little extra on your make up because the top brands usually do tend to stay put longer. Have the make up artist do different things with colors that match your skin and then they will recommend the products.

If you do not want to do that then I know ALMAY has a good line of eyeshadows and such to bring out the intensity of your eyes depending on the color. I also have dark bags under my eyes and what really helps me is to not put mascara on the bottom layer only on the top.

Just try things out and see what you like best, good luck!

Answer 2

Here is exactly what I did for my wedding makeup:  I visited the various makeup counters in department stores and tried out various looks.  I had about 5 or 6 "makeovers" before settling on some products that I liked best.  I bought things that I liked and used the combination to help me look my best.  

P.S.  The makeovers are free, so use them to your advantage!  Good luck, I'm sure you'll look beautiful!
