i'm really happy with the way it turned out and FH says that i looked "stunning" when i came home...he couldn't stop commenting on how good i looked (although i don't usually wear makeup so this was pretty different for me)

 

but the only decent pic i have is this one...

Ladies, I am certain your photographer will tell you this, but be sure if you are wearing a base makeup that it is camera friendly. Some foundations can make your skin look very white in photos. I learned the hard way.

And don't be afraid to wear a little color. Brides love to look as pure as the driven snow, but you want to have a healthy glow in those pictures.

And, those eyebrows looked fantastic.

I have spent about 9 years as a makeup artist w/Estee Lauder and have done plenty of brides...a little blush or bronzer, a lip liner and some gloss, some shadow and mascara, AND a little brow grooming is all that you need.

Here's to the beautiful brides!

My skin actually didn't look that white, I think it was the lighting in the salon, not so great!

I used a tinted moisturizer as my base and it was actually quite a bit darker than my actual skin tone because I'm so pale (and I'm tanning before the wedding), and a bit of bronzer on my cheeks. The picture doesn't really do the makeup justice sad.gif
