So, I finally booked a make-up trial. Unlike my hair I have no confidence in my ability to make make-up decisions. I've had my makeup done professionally for photo shoots, films and stage productions, but never for a personal event of this magnitude. I have no idea what I want.
I know that I need it to last through the whole day. I know that I want to still look like me. I know that I do not want it to look heavy and caked on. I do not want a indoor, formal, red carpet kind of look. As far as what I do what...advice I guess.
I uploaded a cropped image of me after my hair trial with no make up and played with the ivillage make over tool.
Before:
Look One:
I like this, but the eyes aren't right. I tried some dark greens and grays, but it looked too bruise-y. I like the mascara, foundation and blush though. I want some drama and maybe shimmer for my eyes.
Slight variation...I just don't know. My comfort zone is pretty small. I played with green shadow, gray, lavender and no shadow with liner variations. I think drama and sparkle sound easier to achieve than they are...
Even the 'Before' shot looks great, so whatever you decide will be fine! Bob
ReplyDeleteI love the hair!!! And the blush of pic one. I say a light sparkle shadow with some pinkish to pick up the flower in our hair, dark eyelashes and a light lip = ) Jessica
ReplyDeleteI love the second one! It looks more toned down and natural. I think I need to check out this tool you used!
ReplyDeleteWith blue eyes, you should go for some kind of light burnt orange/brown color, it'll make your eyes pop (it does mine) minimal blush, and if you're a cryer like me, go get your eyelashes dyed and then you don't have to worry about mascara tracks down your face. (it's like 20 bucks, and I thought it was worth it) I used bare minerals mineral veil, but I suggest Makeup Forever HD Powder, Microfinish powder as an all over powder to put on top of everything. Go light. That's my advice
