What is the best way to do my makeup on my wedding day?

Question

I need some advice on what colors or style of makeup to use on my wedding day. I don't want to overdo it, and I want to choose the colors and type of makeup that works well on me. I am 26, I have medium long dark brown hair that I am going to wear half down and wavy, I have hazel eyes, dimples, full lips, my eyes squint when I smile. People say I look like Liv Tyler a lot. Any suggestions??

Here's what I wore on my wedding day:

Face:

I loved this foundation because it is waterproof and it really stayed on all day! By the time the big day came, I had some really bad breakouts from the stress and this foundation really did the job. I just set it with some pressed poweder after applying the foundation.

Cheeks:

I used this in "Oasis", in the photo it looks dark, but it is just dark enough to show in the wedding photos. It was so beautiful because of the shimmer.

Eyes:

I was nervous about using fake lashes (first time was on the big day) but these "beauties" looked very natural and stayed on great!

I used this eyeshadow in "shotgun" (yes I see the humor shotgun wedding) I used this pink because I had some pink sequins in my dress and this really made it come out beautifully. I loved the brand but depending on your skin tone you may want to play around with the colors. For eyeliner, I used Revlon Colorstay in black.

Lips:

Used this in "Rose" and am still in love with it. I use it almost everyday.

Hope this helps, go to places like sephora or makeup counters in the mall where you can try the makeup on before you buy. Do a test run on the makeup a couple days before your wedding. Good luck and best wishes!!!

Use a light refracting makeup along with your other. Use a lightish color shadow that coordinates with your bridesmaids dresses. Coordinate your lip & cheek colors. I suggest with your skin tone, go with peachy colors, or neutrals. Use mascara & eye liner, let it dry & apply another coat of mascara. tip - it may help you to do your eyes first. Use a lighter color in the corners of your eyes facing your nose, it will help make your eyes look better.

Highlighter is a must. use it on your forehead. right in the center,put a dot, of white & rub it in. then use a dot, right on the side of your brows, next to your hair line. & then under your brows, use a drop of white also above your cheek bone making it look cheekier.

You can contour your cheeks by using a slight darker shade of blush, or darker foundation powder, right under your blush (the blush goes on the apples of your cheeks....

Finally - lip color, & use lip gloss. Finish off with a finishing powder to help reduce shine after you've been out all day & it will help photos.
