Looking for Bridal Make-Up product ideas...look no further :)




I have extremely sensitive skin and I knew the basic look I wanted for my wedding day. I decided to purchase all the items I would want for my big day and have my make up artist pick and choose what she thought would look ideal for my special day. One of the best investments I made was purchasing the Urban Decay Naked II eye shadow palette. Price for this palette is $50 and can be purchased at Ulta, Sephora or at many up scale department stores. There are so many combinations that can be made from this one palette. Definitely worth the money. I have hit pan on many of the shades. For lip liner I wish I would have discovered ahead of time the Urban Decay 24/7 liners. I purchased the color wicked. This color would have blended perfectly with my Aveda lip color I wore on my wedding day. Liner cost $19 and is well worth it with it's long lasting wear. My make up artist recommended Maybelline Volume Express -The Falsies Waterproof Mascara at $5.94 a tube this is by far the best bargain. I cried a lot during all my wedding activities and this stood up to the test for me. Another staple that I just couldn't believe how much I would love was gel liner. I purchased the L'Oreal Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner 24 Hour brand. I am addicted to this product and can no longer go without. Product cost approximately $9. Another option for an eye shadow palette would be the Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Eye Shadow Kit Perfectly Nude for $52. I found this eye shadow kit while on honeymoon. It would make a great natural bridal make up look. It is pricey however the colors are traditional and can be used with anything you may already have. I recommend bringing your foundation with you when meeting with your make up artist. My artist used my shade to blend a custom color in HD foundation. This method helped to keep my coloring as close to my natural daily make up look as possible and kept me from looking too made up. If you think you can not afford a make up artist think again. My artist fee was only $25 plus $10 eyelash application fee and was from an Aveda Salon. Also, get individual lashes, because if you are a crier you will only lose one lash at a time instead of the possibility of the whole lash strip coming unglued. If you prefer to do your own lashes the Katy Perry brand is pretty amazing. Even the thicker style look natural on. Hope this gave you a few ideas to help with your special day!
