    Hello!  I've already hired and given the deposit to a makeup artist.  The reason I hired her was because she was able to keep my face from getting too shiny after the first trial... but after our second trial, I think I'm going to be doing most of the eyeshadow/contouring on my own.

    Any advice on colors and/or techniques?  I'd really appreciate it!  Tips/Advice for Asian Makeup? :  wedding asian makeup Icon Wink

    You can take an asian specific class at a Mac Store (not the mac counter at a department store) If you are worried about your face looking shiny...get a good chammomile mask and use it once a week, and the day before your wedding.  Just dont try anything new 2 weeks before your wedding...and I mean NOTHING!

    Where do you live?  If you live near a MAC store see if they will let you register, some classes are for Professionals only, if you find a class and they wont let you in you can use my number.  So call first!  (lest they recognise you) But what city are you in?

    Hello again!  I believe there is a MAC store in the Short Hills Mall (NJ), which is right by me. 

    I actually wear makeup on a daily basis, so I'm used to doing it myself.  I just want a lil P-O-W for the big day!  Tips/Advice for Asian Makeup? :  wedding asian makeup Icon Razz

    For asian brides I make sure to use the E3 technique when it comes to contouring.

    :E3:

    Use bronzer with an angel blusher brush and sweep from the temple >> to under your cheek bone >> to your jawline to create an "E" with the left side of your face and a "3" with the right. (=.=;;; i guess if you're doing it to yourself, it's the other way around)

     

    :HIGHLIGHT:

    You can use a specific highlighting powder like the PRESCRIPTIVE MAGIC POWDER or a sheer shimmery eye shadow to highlight the following: 

    - bridge of nose

    - above your cheek bone

    - above your eyebrow (only the 1st half of it... the part closer to the middle of your face)

    - under your eyebrow

    - and chin

    and VOILA!!! HOLLYWOOD CELEB TRICKS revealed to the everyday girl~~~~~

     

    good luck~ and hope this was helpful see below for some inspirations

    I'm sticking to a simple, romantic look. There isn't many Asians in my town and I don't trust make-up artists that haven't worked with Asian eyes (I've been burnt before and I'm not about to gamble on it). I'm going to do my own make-up, I found a video that'll be my base:
