Answer 1

Ok, so this is what I'm doing. I'm too getting married in Nov. and Lancome has a 2 product min. purchase and they will do your make-up. Also, Benefit will do this for you too! I would suggest you schedule an appt. and be prepared to buy 2 products. Take a picture of your dress and voila!!! You can't mess that up!
Congrats and I hope this helps.

Awh, that must be a cute dress.

If you want to go for a 20's flare, I would go with mascara, a little bit of winged eyeliner, maybe a soft tan, pink, or even white eyeshadow, red lipstick that won't smudge for the kiss or just clear gloss, and of course blush.

Mascara: to make your lashed longer, start at the tip and then do the whole bunch of lashes. It'll make them longer and piecey, so you don't look caked on. Make sure to wait atleast 30 secs-minute before putting on the second coat so it won't look gunky.

Winged Eyeliner(opt): It doesn't mean way out. But when you're putting on the eyeliner, do the bottom and when you get to the outer corner of the eye, BARELY drag it on. You don't have to do the top, if you do the inner corner leading to the top line, but if you do do the top, don't lay it on thick! Very thin, close-to-the-lash line. It'll be pretty.

Eyeshadow: Use a natural colour. No, a light tan won't clash with the black. It'll smooth in the skin tone and make your eyes burst with beauty. A pink would be beautiful, especially if you're using red lipstick. A white would be matchy, but don't make it look ghost-ish. What I do, I put on the eyeshadow on the lid and then put a light tan colour on my brow-line. Natural? Absolutely.

Lipstick: For the outfit I'm imagining you have, I see red lipstick. It gives it a vintage vibe and if you have the right skin colour makes it look GREAT. But, if you have it on and don't like it, wipe it off GENTLY and put on a bit of clear gloss. Make sure it's the stick-on kind whichever you use so your husband doesn't look silly with your lip colour on his. Haha. If you pick the red, don't layer it on. Start in the center of your lip and go outwards toward you corners. Make sure to not get out of line or get it on your teeth.

Blush: the blush then was soft, but noticeable. If you're going for the "cute housewife(soon to be in your case)" look I would suck in the cheeks and brush it from the apple of the cheek up to the high jaw line, or subtly move it into your hair line, though you can't really notice it. If you're going all-naturale`, just smile and lightly brush the apple of your cheeks. Make sure you don't look like a doll though with dots on your cheeks. And also, if your cheeks are standing out too much, give your nose, under the eyes, forehead, and chin a touch up. Just don't over do it and it'll look awesome.

If you want more natural, just mainly use the mascara, a lighter eyeliner, the eyeshadow and only a light blush and light lipstick.

Good luck on your big day, hope this helps. <3

hey , well i would say don't do too much extra than you would normally do ! if you make your make-up very different to how you usually do it you wont look like you and you are less likely to be happy with how your make-up turns out. I would say that you should base your makeup on your usual natural look and add small things to make it a little more glam and special such as, liquid eye-liner in an extended line. Or a neutral eyeshadow that sparkles to give you that extra glam. I would also get a brow liner or perfector so that your eyebrows are neat and perfect for all day. these small changes can make all the difference to your look without going overboard.

Answer 4

Since you tend to wear a more natural style of make up, wearing heavy make up on your wedding will not flatter you since it will look caked on and unnatural. What I would suggest is that you wear a lightweight foundation, something oil free and water-based so it won't look caked up on your skin (Maybelline Pure Make Up works well). Since you're wearing a decade/period dress, you might want to go with makeup that would match the period. A very, very light blush on the apples of your cheek, a nude eyeshadow, and black liquid eyeliner and a double coat of mascara should suffice for a nice twenties look. you have two options with your lips: you can keep with the downplay of your make up and wear a shade darker than your natural lip color or a sheer gloss OR you can go all out (since your eye make up is minial and it won't be competing with your lips) and wear a bolder red shade. This, of course, all depends on your lip shape and your skin tone.

Congrats on the wedding.

Stop worrying and just be who you are. All you need is mascara, eyeliner and shadow and a nice natural lipstick. Just use a tinted moisturiser on your skin and, only if you look very pale, a little light blusher.

Friends wanted me to have a pro make up on my wedding day, but that would not have been the real me for my husband to be and I just did my own thing. Like you, I have never worn much make up other than mascara and lipstick and my skin is very grateful for that! Have a wonderful day.

Answer 7

I as helpless as you are in the make-up department. Why don't you get advise from the ladies at the make-up counter at the big departmental store? I'm sure the ladies will not mind giving you make-up tips. If you have any friends who are good at make-up, that would be great as well. However, practice makes perfect.

Wow! Las Vegas. Cool. Congratulations!

Answer 10

I work for Estee Lauder companies, and you can go to any Estee Lauder, MAC, Clinique counter in the big department stores and they will be more than happy to advise you.

Based on what you have detailed above, I think MAC would be the better choice as they are very artistic with their designs.
