    I tried out a potential look tonight, what do you bees think? My wedding will be outside at 4pm in the summer, so I'm trying to keep it light and springy looking. Also I usually wear pretty light makeup so I'm a little nervous about looking like a crazy makeup monster IRL just so my makeup will show up in pictures. Thoughts or suggestions?

    @ElwoodBlues:  I loooveee the glow you have!  beautiful!  Only concern is that it might show up lighter in the professional photos...so I would encourage you to try to make it a little more bold, even if you feel a little weird about it at first.

    Pretty!  I'm just confused by your eyebrows...one looks like it was fixed into place and the other wasn't?

    @ThingsThatShine: Ha yeah, that's just how they grow. I'll use some brow wax the day of, but I don't have any right now.

    @aliavenue: Thank you! The eye technique was fairly easy, I used a nuetral shimmery color over my entire eye, then took a greyish brown accross my eyelash and then up in a C shape into the creases. Then I used a shimmery white highlighter shadow by my brow and in the corners of my eyes. Then I did a small cat eye with a felt tip black eyeliner and added two coats of mascara last. The foundation is Makeup Forever HD, Nars Orgasm blush, and just a petal pink gloss from Tarte.

    You look beautiful. Absolutely stunning, and that eyeliner looks killer on you. If I were to make a suggestion, I would add some contouring in the hollows of your cheek and highlights on the browbone (under the eyebrow) and above the cheek bone. It will add more definition to your face,which you don't naturally NEED, but can be lost in photographs. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing!

    @ThingsThatShine:  My makeup artist said, "Eyebrows are sisters, they're not twins!"

     

    You look beautiful! I love your makeup!

    LOVE IT! As another bee stated above, you may loose some of the effect in professional photos.. i wear sheer makeup daily and I find it doesn't really show at all in photo's. So slightly more saturated with the colors may work better on the day-of. Other than that, dont change a thing!!! Your gorgeous!

     

    PS. I have "sister" eyebrows also, my left one grows up and over too! :P

    RNskillet    June 8, 2013   I travel. A lot.

    You look beautiful!

     I don't wear much makeup myeslf but my sisters and I loooove to get our makeup professionally done (even naturally looking) so I will def do that for my big day..

     

    I agree with the bee that said something about experimenting with maybe a little more makeup, just to see. Take pictures of yourself outside (or have a friend do it.) Then again, that's just my opinion because I like a little more.
