Hey bride2be31011!

 

I am a fellow bride-to-be as well as a make up artist.  My recommendations for waterproof eye makeup are as follows:

 

- w/p eye shadow won't do much... invest in a good lid primer!  My recommendation is Smashbox's Photo Finish lid primer ($20 at Sephora/Ulta/Nordstrom).

- w/p mascara WILL make a difference; try Diorshow Blackout, waterproof version.  I don't like it for every day use because it's such a pain to take off, but I will definitely be using this on my wedding day.  You can find this wherever Dior is sold, most department stores or Sephora ~$25

- w/p liner will also make a difference.  I love to use Smashbox jet set w/p cream liner.  They have a variety of colors and can be found at the same places listed above for the lid primer, ~$22.

 

As for foundation, there really is no such thing as w/p foundations... it's all marketing if you ask me!  I personally recommend an HD foundation (Smashbox and MUFE make good ones) as your skin will look flawless in photos.  Set the make up with either a translucent setting powder or powder foundation, depending on how much coverage you like.  Setting the make up will prevent the foundation from wearing off a lot quicker, especially in humid climates.  And don't forget your foundation primer!  Smashbox cosmetics is king at this... Primer Light might be your best option for a humid climate, but it will also depend on your skin type.  They produce NINE different kinds. 

 

Hope this helps!

Hi ylekot,


 

Is there a primer you can suggest for super oily skins? I don't have pimples, just oil and large pores!!!
