I gained enough confidence during my wedding prep to do my own make-up on my wedding day which was the best choice I made. I was so happy with the end result. Why I did my own make-up was because I am very iffy about others doing my make-up and I just don't think they would ever get it quite the way I want it and on my big day I do not want to feel like I have been smashed with make-up on my face. A lot of make-up artist want to add everything on your face and as much as it looks amazing on photos, in reality it looks cakey most of the time and I really did not want too much foundation or big eye lashes, nor smokey eyes. I kept to a simple look for a reason becasue I wanted my lips to be bold and stand out but it wouldn't have if my eyes and my cheeks weere bold too. Vice versa if I had bold eyes I would have gone for a subtle natural lip look. So my lovely ones.. I will note down below exactly what I wore on the day.
How I did my make-up on my wedding day
1. The night before I steamed my face with a face steamer and mositerized it.
2. In the morning I used my 'Skin Doctor Powerbrasion kit' to exfoliate my face.
3. I primed my eye with Mac 'painterly paint pot'.
4. I started on my eyeshadow using Mac eyeshadows. I started with the outer
corner of my eyes using 'Brown Down' very lightly.
5. I dragged 'Brown Down' under my eye keeping it fairly messy. This will act
as my bottom eyeliner.
6. I then used 'Texture' in the middle of my eyelid blending it into 'Brown Down'.
7. I then used 'Ricepaper' for the inner corner of my eyes blending it again with
'Texture' but also brought it down to my tearduct.
8. I applied my top eyeliner with Maybelline 'Gel liner'.
9. I got a makeup wipe and wiped my face to wipe any fall outs and to line the
eyeshadow of 'Brown Down' to the bottom of my eye.
10. I got my eyelashes and used Mac '12 Lash'.
11. I then moisterized my face with Bobbi Brown 'Vitamin Enriched Face Base'.
12. Primed my face with Benefit 'Porefessional primer'.
13. I concealed my marks with Estee Lauder Double wear foundation because I
had extremely dark blemishes which was unfortunate but hey I managed
to cover up so no one knew.
14. I applied my foundation which was 'Dior Forever' foundation.
15. I went onto my eyebrows and used Mac 'embark' eyeshaow very lightly.
16. Under my eyebrow I used 'ricepaper' eyeshadow for a highlight.
17. I then went onto contouring my cheekbones which I don't have but still did
it and I did my nose with Bobbi Brown 'Golden Light' bronzer.
18. I added colour to my cheeks and I used Bobbi Brown 'Pot Rouge in Powder Pink'.
19. I used Mac ''Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle' to highlight above my cheekbones.
20. For my lips I used Nars 'Versuvio'.
21. To finish off I sprayed Urban Decay setting spray and that was me done.
