Fresh Face

I love to dress up and play "Barbie" especially when it comes to make-up I don't leave home without "putting my face on". I haven't decided if I will apply my own make-up on wedding day or if I will hire someone else. I know what I like and feel good about how I apply my make-up and make it look natural and pretty. I've seen horror pictures of bad make-up and heard horror stories so that will probably be something that I decide later one.

I use Bare Minerals and they work well on my skin and blends like you wouldn't believe, if you haven't tried it yet, give it a test drive! Trying to decide what look I want to go for on wedding day has been somewhat of a challenge but I know I love the smokey dramatic eye as I mentioned here, I think it adds so much to your final look. But my wedding theme is somewhat vintage with my birdcage veil and lace on my dress I'm beginning to think that a more neutral look may work better. I know for certain that I will be getting some eye weave for the day and wear some fake lashes because mine are so curly you can barely see the length, even with ten layers of mascara on them. Have any of you tried fakies? If so where did you get them and whats your secret to applying them?

Here are some of my inspiration:

It's Written on Your Face!

I LOVE make-up, and surprisingly I have learned a lot about it on Youtube, particularly from Kuuipo1207 who is absolutely AMAZING!!! I hate to pat myself on the back but I do an excellent job with my own make-up and have actually done it for other women, but I have decided to hire a make-up artist to do mine on wedding day! With my make-up it's all about the eyes and I want a dramatic eye. Kuuipo1207 gives alot of options for dramatic but tasteful eyes. I can see fake lashes in my future because my lashes are thin and very curly, I could use a bottle of mascara and they still wouldn't be as thick and full as I'd like. Here are a few of my options:


Sultry Smokey Purple:



Sexy Smokey Silver:



Metallic Brown Smokey:




Teal Soft Smokey:
