So, I am BEYOND happy with myself right now!!! :D I played around with my makeup tonight, took my everyday look and added to it and the result was amazing! I wasn't expecting to find the look for my wedding in one night, only after playing around with my look one time, but I DID!
I am so so so so so happy with the way my makeup turned out and I really really think that this is the look I'm going to wear for my wedding day! The hair will be semi- the same because I really like it too, just loose curls and volumized, but I haven't done that yet. lol I just slept on yesterday's curls. ANYWAY, here are the pics! :D
(and please, don't comment on my brows! this is how I like to do them, this is how I will wear them, if you don't like them then keep that to yourself please. I've had enough comments about them already. lol)




Sorry for the gigantic pictures too, and of course, I know its not perfect either, but I'M happy with it and after a long long deliberation and a million makeup trials later...I am finally happy with it. :)
Love it! But not in a creepy way, I've always thought you were gorgeous! When did you go brunette? Are you keeping it for the wedding or going back to red? Its beautiful either way! Wish I could pull off multiple colors...:(
Oh wow! You're really good at eye make up. I think I'd do softer blush, but overall it's beautiful :-)
Will you come do my makeup for my wedding? Lol, but really. Gorgeous.
I love it. I especially love the lip color. So different and bold, not just your typical red or pink-ish color.
If I had to change *one* thing it might be the eyeshadow under the lashline. But that's just because I'm not sure how well it will photograph when done professionally.
@MrsWilson2012: thanks!! :)
@MissGreen: haha thanks :) and you don't sound creepy! :p I went dark about a month ago? maybe a little less, like 3 weeks ago. :) And I do plan on keeping this color for the wedding and a long while after, I'm really loving it. :)
Very glam! Love your lashes! Are those falsies, or is that super duper mascara?
Beautiful! I love the dramatic eyes and lips! But I really think you need to tone down the blush. Its a great color but there's too much and the blush looks like a thick line across your cheekbone. I hope it's ok that I'm saying that. Everything else looks perfect!
I think you can do more dramatic because these look like the same photos from yesterday. Moar glitter!
I do agree on the blush part. I like your eyes, maybe blend a little to make it less stripey? Otherwise I love the lip color, and the shadow under your eyes is pretty!
thanks everyone! And I plan on toning down the blush, but when I use the camera directly at my face with flash it whites it out, so I just want to make sure that I wear enough that it dhows up. But of course, this was the first time, so I'll play around with different blush colors :) And yes! I have false lashes on @Wonderwoman217
@Duck_Face: that was the point, it was meant to look like a more glammed up version of my everyday makeup (the pics I posted previously). And I'm not wearing glitter, it doesn't photograph well, and I also never wear it on a daily basis, or ever for that matter. lol
@SleepingWithNuns: Thanks! And I was going for that "cut crease" look. I tried it with a softer crease but didn't like it, I wanted something more dramatic. :) but I know about the blush, and I plan on switching it, it was just my first attempt. haha
Love the eyes and the bold brows (they're going to photograph so well)!!! I agree with Thelionqueen about the blush, I would do it a tad softer, especially since there's a lot of emphasis being put on all your other features.
Oh...the glitter looks like it photographs just fine. That is gold eyeshadow with glitter right?
You should have added these to the thread you already made with several of your photos. Keeps it all in place and neat.
I think your brows are just a tad too dark and colored in, but I love the overall look!!! Great job!
I saw these and a few from your other post about your every day look and I just wanted to tell you that you do a great job with makeup! I've started practicing so that maybe by the big day I won't look like a child's fingerpainting, ha
If you get a chance, could you tell me what color you used on your lips?
Looks great! Love the lip!
Can you tell us what kind of makeup you use!?
Good job girl!
ahhhh this amazing! i and love you faux-lashes! you did an awesome job!!
@KristenGotMarried: agreed!
First off I'm soo jealous of your beuaty and skills! Since everything is very dramatic, would there be any way to soften your brows? use a powder maybe instead of a pencil...or acutually I have no idea how you get such perfect brows!!
Lips and eyes are to die for!
I absolutely adore the eyes. The gold shadow both over and under is fabulous, and the deep brown echoes the brown of your brows rather than arguing with them.
Compared to the pics you're posted before (sorry, like a PP, I hope I don't sound creepy), this look is a wedding-day winner.
if i tried doing this, i'd end up looking like gaga. i think you look great, but more importantly, YOU think you look great, which is what matters!
I too would love to know what brand/colors of makeup you use. Foundation? Eyeliner? Eyeshadow? And what kind of brushes do you use? :)
Wow! I like it. Very bold and dramatic. I did one makeup trial so far and it sucked big time. You have encouraged me to try again. :)
Thanks everyone!!!
@SoontobeMrsA: they definitely take getting used to! If you don't place them right (which I had problems with tonight) they feel uncomfortable. It just takes practice really :)
And as far as what I used:
Face: Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation.
Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer under my eyes and on my spots.
Contoured with the elf bronze and blush duo + Blush: wet n' wild Heather Silk blush
Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Urban Decay Shadow: half baked (on lid and lower lashline) + Smog in the crease as a trasition color + twice baked to define the crease
Then I used a dark matte brown from NYX in the crease to make it more defined. And for my browbone I just used a shimmery champagne color. :)
Lashes: Elf dramatic lash kit-black. + waterproof mascara. lol
Liner: elf studio cream eyeliner- black. +Rimmel exaggerate waterproof eyeliner in black, on bottom waterline with the elf cream liner over top to seal it.
Eyebrows: I used a brow powder and an angled brush and followed my natural brow shape.
Lips: I used a darker berry red lip liner first, lined my lips and filled them in (revlon colorstay lipliner: wine) then used a true fire engine red liner to fill in the middle over top, then blended with my finger. then I added a light red gloss over top, just a teeny bit so they weren't dry (Loreal Infallible 6 hr lipgloss : rebel red)
So I hope that helped you! :P It's kind of hard to explain how I did everything. lol And for brushes, I used all elf brushes. For face, eyes, everything. Those are the only brushes I own. I used the $1 eye brushes and the studio $3 face brushes :)
I actually like your brows! Mine are very light and they're always washed out in pictures.. I bought brow powder but I need to build up the intensity. I still feel like I look funny when I fill them in.. But I think it's something I need to work on!
Very, very pretty! You're really good at doing your makeup. You could pull off anything!
Thanks bees! =) and @cherrydoll: I have to use a pencil under mine usually so the powder will stick. Tonight I just used powder and the wax it came with but it takes forever to fill them in when I do that. I like using a really waxy pencil in blonde then going through and making "hairs" with a dark brown and blending together so they look more natural, but not too dark. I use the wet n wild eyebrow pencils. They're $0.99 and work amazing!
I know you've already said you'll tone down the blush, but I feel like (and it might just be because you put so much on for the pictures) the blush and the lip color don't "go" especially in picture #2.
Your eye makeup is very pretty though, maybe pull back the rest a touch to make your eyes the star?
What's wrong with your brows?! I love them. I'm jealous, actually! They are beautifully shaped.
Your eyes are stunning! Just stunning. I would tone down the blush just a tad. And maybe do something a tiny bit lighter/shimmery. But that's just my 2 cents.
You did an amazing job, you look gorgeous!
Very, very glam and dramatic! I love it! You will be so stunning at your wedding!
I love it! It really does look beautiful, I agree with a PP though, the blush is really heavy, but you said you were planning on toning it down already.I have almost the same skin tone as you, and for special occasions I use MAC's "mocha" blush, I think it would look lovely on you!
I also love that you used E.L.F. brushes, I'm sick of hearing that you cant beautifully apply makeup unless you buy a $50 brush.
OoOoo! Very dramatic! Can't wait to see the "complete package" with your accessories and dress.
Thanks for posting about what eyelashes you use... I was about to ask... :)
