Wedding Help with Make up Puleezzze (pics)

[iwannaprettyone]

Ok, so I''m DIY''in my make too (for tomorrow''s e-pics too). I am scared to look clownish on one end and pasty on the other. I can''t seem to get a balance.

So I took three pics. One is inside no light with flash, one is light on flash and no flash and one is outside no flash. Other then the crappy mascara (it is dried out) what else do I need?

Sorry for the funky expression on my face, it is tough to keep the camera still....




Flash- no lights indoors

First of all, you look great! You are so talented with hair AND make-up, lol... Now I am a makeup LOVER (lol, I rarely leave the house without it) so I am going to say a little more blush - at least play around with it... if it ends up looking too "clownish" then forget it...

I like the lips, the eyes to me look you are wearing ONLY mascara, but I can''t really tell.

Is this the make-up for the e-pics, wedding or both? If it''s just e-pics - I would say except maybe a dusting of blush, it''s perfect...

For the wedding, I might do something a little more intense, maybe some eyeliner and eyeshadow because you look great, but very very natural looking and with your gown/veil/jewelry you might your make up a little more formal as well.

Keep on posting - i love your pics!!

I agree--maybe a touch more blush if it''s for engagement pics. And maybe a little eyeliner for the wedding (the waterproof kind, of course). I also plan on wearing just a few single fake eyelashes (just on the corners, nothing too dramatic) to really accent my eyes. We wore them for my sister''s wedding and the pics looked spectaculer--kind of like the pics that you see of celebrities at awards shows and wonder how their lashes could be soooo long (fake as can be)

Iwanna, I think you look great, but I would add a little contouring in the crease of the eye with a darker shadow and a little more blush, a touch of eyeliner on the outer edges - then I think you would be perfect! Maybe darken the brows a tad.

you''re beautiful!
and i think you did a great job.

the main thing to get right, to me, is to not have a washed out face that doesn''t match the rest of your body. i don''t see that at all in these pics.

i''m not sure how much makeup you are going for as far as your look, but if it were me, i maybe would play up your eyes a tad more and add a little more blush. blush was the one thing i found i needed much more than i thought looking back at my pics. but, if you are going for a very natural look, i think you''ve nailed it!

You look great! I would darken the brows a little...

If you want a slightly more dramatic eye, I would add eyeliner on both top and bottom, or darken it if you already have it.

Gorgeous...

I would make the eyeliner on top a LITTLE darker...that's it...ETA: I just looked at the pictures again...a LITTLE more blush.

Very natural look, yet it's showing up well in the pictures.

I agree with what everyone has said... It looks very pretty ( as you are ) just punch it up a notch.

Fill you eyebrows in a bit... not too harsh. That will make a big difference if pictures.

Bobbi Brown has some nice bridal collections to look at. Just to get an idea. I would also try to find
a more natural looking lipstick...for the engagement pictures. The outdoor shot is bringing in too much
of a frosted pink look.

I think the natural look is the way to go and you seem to have that goin on. If i were you i would dramatize your eyes a little bit by adding some fake lashes to the very ends of your eyelashes. In my opinion that would be the perfect touch.

Ok, this is me as Audrey from this past halloween, fake lashes and all.....

Darker brows. I agree with all the comments about a little darker eye-shadow (or maybe just a eyeliner on the top lids smudged). But you will need to darken your brows to make it all work together. I love the shape your brows, they just need more presence. Your halloween pics are GREAT for the eye-makeup, but there too you need to darken your brows. In that pic, you need more blush too.

You look gorgeous, but I would def add more shadow, fill in your browns, and put a little bronzer on your cheekbones. I like the make up from when you were Audrey, but I think you can find a good balance between.
