    Hi everyone!  I am doing my own makeup for the wedding and I did the first trial today.  Let me know what you think!  I also threw in a pic of the headband I made for our rehearsal dinner.

    Also I am not sure about the lashes.  I have just a corner strip on one eye and almost a full on the other.  They look super dramatic in person but maybe not as much in the pictures.

    I love the lashes !!!  The headband is awesome.  The only recommendation I would make would be for a little more of a dramatic lip.  Yours looks lovely and very natural.....I'm a fan of a bit more color.  You did a great job on your make up ~ you look gorgeous!!!

    Very nice!  The lashes are wonderful!  I had falsies too, which felt so weird but they look amazing in the pictures!

    Do you have a lot of experience with false eyelashes?  I'm doing my own makeup for my wedding and I love the look of them in photos but I haven't worn them before so I don't know if it's even worth trying.  Yours look GREAT.. just wondering how much practice it takes to get good at putting them on.

    You did a great job!  (You look like such a sad sack in the 1st pic though-buck up!) :)  I like YOUR left eye -are those the corner lashes?  And the headband is fab -you could wear it with your hair down to the wedding!  I like the nude lips and blush as well.  Your eyes are very dramatic, so good to stay neutral elsewhere.  If I could do makeup like that, I wouldn't have needed to hire the magician I did (she was A-MAZING).

    I LOVE THE LASHES! I'd go for a bit more color in the gloss (but not much more), but it's a gorgeous look!

    Great makeup!  I really like the eyelashes, I think it gives your eyes an extra pop.

    the eyeshadow needs to be blended in on the outer ends of the eye a little more, other than that..all is good

    I agree- the lashes look great, and blend the eyeshadow a little more. I am planning on wearing totally nude lipstick on my wedding day. I never EVER wear lipgloss/stick. I dont really know why, maybe just because everytime I used to put some on FI wouldnt want to kiss me, and we kiss. A lot. So anything on my lips will feel weird.

    thanks for all your comments!  I'm glad that you like it it makes me feel much better about doing it that way.  i will experiment with some different lips and work on better blending

     

     

    @animated_librarian:  it was super easy.  i kind of based it off this tutorial.  she has some great videos you should check them out

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC_Pfjp0KWg&feature=PlayList&p=2A8D1008B3F34655&playnext=1&index=16

    @MaggieGirl:  I am brand new toi falsies but i found some good tips that helped.  First is cut the lashes in half, so make them easier to get straight.  next i had a separate lash glue and applied it to the lashes with a toothpick, and bend them (like in a "u" back and forth) before putting them on.  the bending made the biggest difference in applying.  i also applied them after mascara and curling my own lashes.  hth!

    I think the lashes look great (both of them!) on you and not too dramatic for in person or in the photos~! the lip color looks great on you~~ soft colors are definitely most suitable and appropriate for bridal~ :)
