    Okay, so I'm planning on doing my own makeup for the wedding.

    But I'm not a big makeup person. On a day to day basis, I usually just wear some foundation, mascara, and chapstick. And they're pretty cheap brands.

    So please recommend what brands you used or plan to use in terms of coverup, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, etc. I'm really at a loss standing in the makeup aisle looking at tons of different types and brands.

    Thanks! :)

    I'll be using -

    Foundation - Eve Pearl HD Dual with silica powder to set; Undereye Concealer - Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer; Blemish Concealer (if necessary) - MAC Studio Fix; Mascara - Chanel Inimitable Waterproof in Noir; Eye Primer - Urban Decay Eden Primer Potion; All eyeshadows - MAC and Bobbi Brown; Eye Liner - Bobbi Brown; Cheeks - MAC Cremeblend blush; Lip Liner - MAC; Lip - Chanel Rouge Coco; Face Highlight - the last of my beloved Prescriptives Magic

    I also use a moisturizer and a redness correcting primer from Clinique. I think that's everything, but I feel like I'm forgetting something...

    I used a foundation from Studio Gear at Ulta, blush from Mac, you could go to the mac counter and they will have a lot of suggestions for you or Sephora.  I used a brown pencil on my eyes for eyeliner, with a more liquid gel liner on top.  I used tan, brown and gold eyeshadow on my eyes. I also used a peachy pink lipstick.  Also try to find a nice matte powder, I do wish I used a more matte powder, but I used a regular mineral powder for the day of. Pic below.

     Oh also the best mascara is Loreal Extreme Volume Collagen Mascara, $6! DIY makeup Brides, what did/will you use? :  wedding makeup Get Jennifer 132 Pw

    My makeup's totally low-key, but I love it.

    Primer/moisturizer base: St. Ives moisturizer and Monistat chafing gel (thank you, Miss Rainbow!)

    Foundation: Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse

    Concealer: CoverGirl 24-Hour Liquid

    Power: silica powder with a skunk brush (again, thank you, Miss Rainbow! Laughing)

    Blush: CoverGirl contouring in Refined Rose

    Liner: CoverGirl liquid liner in black/brown

    Eyeshadow: Rimmel London in Orion

    Mascara: CoverGirl waterproof LashBlast in black

    Ceremony lipcolor (to go with my princess dress): CoverGirl Outlast lipstain in Teasing Blush and classic cherry chapstick

    Reception lipcolor (to go with my tea-length retro dress): CoverGirl Outlast All Day Lipcolor in Coral

    And this is what it looked like all together!
