This post has been a long time in the
making...
My brother got married almost a month ago, on September 10th, and I was given the (rather scary!) responsibility of doing the makeup. I thought you might be interested to see
what I used on the day, and of course some of the pictures of the beautiful bride and her bridesmaids (myself included!)
When I laid the products out on the floor
to take this picture it actually looked like a lot of products, but the looks
we went for on the day were very natural, classic ‘bridal’ looks.
Firstly, for the bride…
Left-right, Top-bottom: RMK Primer, Georgio
Armani Fluid Sheer in Pale Shimmering Rose, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B30,
Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette, Bare Minerals Original Mineral
Veil, Urban Decay Eyelash Curlers, Sleek Contour Kit in Light (I only used the
contour shade), Stila Kitten Highlighting duo, MAC blush in Desert Rose, Urban
Decay Primer Potion, MAC Brow Set, Smashbox Brow Tech in Brunette, Bobbi Brown
Gel Eyeliner in Espresso Ink, NARS Eyeshadow in Ashes to Ashes, MAC Eyesahdows
in Orb, Naked Lunch, Omega and Embark, Estee Lauder Crystal Baby Lipstick, MAC
Creamsheen Glass in Deelight, YSL Touche Eclat (2), YSL Effet Faux Cils Mascara
in black, Estee Lauder Sumptuous waterproof mascara in black (for the bottom
lashes!), Skindinavia setting spray for Oily skin, A selection of brushes from
MAC, Royal & Langnickel Sigma, Smashbox and BH Cosmetics.
A closer look at some of the shades...

The Bride (didn't she look beautiful?!) I know this picture is in black and white, but it was just so pretty...
For the Bridesmaids…
Left-Right, Top-Bottom: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in various shades,
Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel, Benefit Sugarbomb, BareMinerals Original mineral
veil, Skindinavia setting spray (various formulations), Urban Decay Primer
Potion in Sin, Urban Decay Eyelash Curlers, Georgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense
Silk eyeshadows in Khaki Pulse (6) and Rock Sand (9), Georgio Armani Eyes to
Kill Mascara, Georgio Armani Smooth Silk eyeliner in Black, MAC Carbon
eyeshadow, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in Boy, A selection of brushes from
MAC, Royal & Langnickel Sigma, Smashbox and BH Cosmetics.
A closer look...
We all had such a fabulous day, and I don't think I've ever seen the bride and groom look so happy!
There is one thing I hate about weddings though... They seem to go so quickly! I never wanted the day to end and it went by in a flash!
Disclaimer: I bought most of the products shown, some were press samples
aww, this is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey all look very pretty. Good job with the makeup :)

Great products. You all look gorgeous and very happy! Just wondering how you use your chanel bronze universal as there is a weird pattern in the product in the pot, and mine doesnt have that, so i think it must be down to the way you use it. Thanks xx
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing pictures! And I'm so happy to see that you used a few High-Street Brands for this wedding look!

OHH COULD YOU PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL USING THESE PRODUCTS?? They all look amazing and you did a brilliant job. I'm getting married in March so this is very helpful.

aww they got married on my birthday :) it was my brothers wedding in september but his 'wife' didnt want me to be a bridesmaid :/ you looked stunning by the way! :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone looked absolutely amazing! The dresses were gorgeous as well. :)
ReplyDeletewhat stunning photos, hope you had a nice day it looked blissful!
ReplyDeletei have to say looking at your swatches the two colours that i thought "WOW" was the Armani Eyes to Kill Intense Silk eyeshadows in 9 and 6. they are so beautiful and i think you made a great choice to use them for a wedding as they are such neutral pretty colours but the intense shimmer/shine really makes them pop. Love love love.
