I never got around to uploading this blog post before the Wedding. I mentioned a few times about experimenting with makeup for the Big Day. I had shown you a few product hauls in the run up but here is what made the final cut. I asked my sister to help me on the day and I think this covers everything we ended up using. A couple of products were missed from the picture.
Everyday Minerals Semi Matte Foundation (Rosy Beige 3C)
Everyday Minerals Semi Matte Foundation (Rosy Beige 3C)
You’ll be familiar with Everyday Minerals because it’s the only foundation I use and I am forever talking about it. I could have gone out and found something new but instead decided to stick to what I know works well for me.
I am using this as a base for my foundation just to give me a boost and provide longevity for my mineral powder.
This was the favourite blusher out of all the ones I tried. At first I wasn’t sure about the shimmer but now I like it, this eliminates the need for a highlighter
This is a slightly pink toned shimmery cream which for someone like me who doesn’t wear makeup, gives a hint of something but without being OTT and not looking myself. I think my sister did end up applying Silk Naturals Score to give a very subtle "smoky" eye effect.
Inika Natural Mineral Eyeliner in Crystal White**
I intend on using this as an inner corner and brow highlight. The Crystal White has a really nice shimmer and is soft so easy to blend out.
Pacifica Aquarian Gaze Mascara

Pacifica Aquarian Gaze Mascara
This mascara gives a natural boost to my lashes and doesn’t smudge, it held up for the day so I was very pleased
Silk Naturals Beach Bunny Bronzer
I am not confident with bronzer but my sister worked her magic with this little sample I had ordered on a whim. Beach Bunny is recommended for pale skin.

This is my perfect colour, it is similar to my natural lip but just gives a little extra something without making me feel uncomfortable. I had intended using the gloss Bridesmaid but it was left out on the day.
I generally wear nail polish on my toes but have decided to go the whole way and paint my finger nails. As it was slightly out of my comfort zone I wanted colours which were natural and not too crazy but I had to have a little sparkle for my ring finger.

Congratulations on your wedding! I think it's very important for the bride to feel comfortable with their look on the day. It's also important for the groom to recognise his bride! There's a couple of brands new to me in your collection, although I am currently using the Pacifica mascara. I like it, but do find the brush a little too large (& I do like a large brush!), which transfers some of the product onto my eye lids....x
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie, I haven't struggled with the mascara in the same way but I had that issue with Avril & Natorigin which I know many bloggers seem to rate
DeleteCongratulations on your marriage! I also did my makeup for my wedding day 2.5 years ago, I'd had a makeup trial but wasn't keen and as Carrie said, I wanted to look like me - also why I wore my hair down as I never wear in up IRL! Also a big fan of the Madara tinting fluid, pretty sure I first got it in a LoveLula box but I've repurchased since. I did my nails in navy glitter to match my shoes but then I'm a nail blogger!
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes I've purchased the Madara tint a couple of times over the years, works well for me. Navy glitter sounds fun :)
