my engagement shoot is TOMORROW and all of a sudden I am freaking out. Why? Because I don’t wear makeup. None. Not even lip gloss. i am just that low maintenance and haven’t worn mascara or anything for almost a year. My fiance doesn’t understand why I would want makeup for the shoot, but I am afraid I will look washed out and boring (I am very pale). I have a makeup person for the wedding but didn’t really care/think about the engagement shoot since it was just a nice perk of the photographer’s package that will allow us to get some nice pictures of the two of us together because we have very few. We are going casual in jeans and I am just wondering if i should stop and buy a mascara on the way to the shoot just to make my eyes show up (blonde lashes) and leave it at that? Please help me decide what to do!! I can’t do a full makeup look i don’t even really know how to apply anything but lip gloss and mascara. should i go totally au natural as my fiance suggests or do mascara only or go for something more and just try my best to make it look ok ( don’t even own a mascara would have to go buy one). help!!!

I would at least pick up mascara and some pink lip stain (gloss was a problem in our e-pics because FH ended up wearing as much as I did and I kept having to wipe off his shimmery lips LOL)

As a fellow blonde I would pencil in my eyebrows with a brown pencil and add mascara! I find that my eyes just melt into my face in pictures if I don’t have those two things defined!

you should stop by your nearest department store and “test” their mascara, color stay lipstain, and a bit of soft blush for the apples of your cheeks~

If you normally don’t wear too much makeup, just go with at least those 3.

Maybe head to Clinique tomorrow morning before the shoot and get them to put some stuff on you? They’re usually not “heavy” with the makeup, and they’ll only do a little if you want to!
