    I have a couple of threads about my plan to do my own make-up the day of the wedding. I am curious about how many other bees plan on doing the same thing. I would love to see photos if you want to share. If you are using pinks for your eyeshadow colors I would especially like to see your look...

    I had a sephora trial and decided to try and do it myself for Thanksgiving. I plan on using idfferent eye shadow and lip colors for the day of the wedding but I really wanted to get the hang of using the brushes, blending, etc. The tip cards they give out at sephora are a big help.

    i think you should play with the pinks a bit more as well... i like the blue but it seems wintery to me, and i know you're getting married in the caribbean...

    crebre...I considered putting pink on for Thanksgiving but I already had my outfit picked out Laughing.

    I definitely plan on doing pinks and a little gold. It's just hard to tell how eyeshadow will look on without actually seeing it on a face...you know?? I think I will get a better feel by browsing some of the wedding photos and from other bees' makeup trials...LOL. I am going to be stalking the pages until trip time.

    ...I suck doing makeup too ladies....I just keep trying.  The consultant at sephora actually gave me a card that had step-by step instructions that were pretty easy to follow. It was funny b/c I had all the brushes she tried to sell me but had NO CLUE what they were for prior to the consult....LOL

    @Osaka...my hope it that going through the steps of doing my make-up and hair will calm me down on the big day. I would go crazy if I had to sit there and let somebody else do it. The only way I can get rid of my nerves is to keep myself busy and give myself something to focus on Laughing

    @His Barista...you know what it was...that darn brush...LOL! I thought the sephora lady was selling wolf tickets when she told me that the key to applying makeup it to use a brush b/c it gives a smoother finish. Once I got home and tried it using a brush...I could immediately see the difference.

    @alundberg...thanks...I may try to do a less neutral gloss...maybe a coral tint or something. I don't want to do anything too loud though b/c my lips are already big...they don't really need any extra pop...LOL

    You have such a beautiful smile! I think your makeup looks great, especially the blush as it really highlights your cheekbones!

    @JamaicaBride: well then the grass is always greener because I love it when people's eyes close when they smile.  I think it makes people look extra happy and excited.  Wink Thank you, though!

    I haven't decided yet. I'm pretty good at doing my own make-up, but I have a couple options to choose from. My FI cousin is  make-up artist so I thought about asking her to put my face on. I am considering airbrushing. A co-workers mom also does make-up, but I think I want her to do my hair instead.

    You did a great job on your makeup! I would suggest more gold or pinks for the eyes. But if you are going for the blue, it looks great! I would also suggest some fake eyelashes because it makes your eyes stand out in pics. Beautiful job. : )
