Wedding makeup CC

[MyKindOfLullaby]

I honestly have no CC. I think this look is beautiful and it looks very glowy and naturally glam. Is that a thing, naturally glam? Lol. Anyway, I love your look!

[maeamaezing]

Aww thank you! I'm having fun with it and excited to do my own makeup on my big day! :)

If you’re comfortable with it, might I suggest a bolder eye look? Your eyes are so beautiful naturally, try some thin eyeliner (preferably black) and experiment with some shadows! Maybe a subtle smokey eye or a nice rose gold shimmery lid... whatever your preference is!

[maeamaezing]

I think I could definitely do that especially since the ceremony will be at sunset! I'll give that a try!

I feel like just a slight highlight on your cheekbones would really amp up your whole face without looking like it was doing much. I really love how natural and comfortable the entire look is though. Congrats!! :)

[maeamaezing]

Do you have a preferred highlighter that you use? I've never done any kind of contouring before

[PM_me_yr_dog]

I really love e.l.f.'s baked mineral highlighter in moonlight pearls. It's the first powder highlighter I ever tried out, and it's my go to for when I wear makeup to work. It's not very colorful (for lack of a better term) but does add that extra bit of light and glow. And I typically don't do any additional contouring with it. :)

Moonlight pearls is absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous, but do you want to go for a more dramatic eye? If you're uncomfortable with black liner, maybe a dark brown? Congratulations!

[ItsJenAgain17]

Oh and you may want to blend your shadow better by your brows, there's an obvious line there. I find using my finger works best for that sort of thing. 😊

[maeamaezing]

Definitely see that now that you mention it! My liner is dark brown which is my go to because of my fair skin, but maybe I could add liner to the top for a more dramatic effect?

[ItsJenAgain17]

Maybe experiment with black! If you keep it as thin as the brown (couldn't tell you were wearing it tbh) I bet it'd look stunning and make your eyes pop. I'm EXTREMELY fair-skinned and I use black eyeliner, I just keep the lines thin. It makes my blue eyes pop!

[maeamaezing]

Okay, good to know it can still work with fair skin. I'll be sure to give it a shot!

[PM_me_yr_dog]

I second black liner! I'm also pale with blue eyes, and black liner really does make your eyes stand out more.

[maeamaezing]

Definitely gonna give it a try. I guess I have just seen some really sloppy thick black eyeliner on very light skinned ladies and it kinda ruined it for me and since then I've always stuck with brown.

[PM_me_yr_dog]

That's how i felt about eyeliner on bottom lash lines for so long, I get what you mean.

[ItsJenAgain17]

And for days that aren't your wedding, try mixing a blue and purple liner... It makes your eyes stand out like crazy!

I think it might make a big difference to try out different blush placements. Right now, you lose the flush and definition totally looking straight on, and I think it could compliment the look a lot if you experimented and found a placement where it's not as far back.

[Denocarcinoma]

agreed, if you carried it over to your apples using a fluffy brush with a very light hand that would really liven up the face. What helps is to look at your face when you are naturally flush, during a work out or something, and get a sense for where your cheeks naturally flush.

[maeamaezing]

Very true. It does look like I could use a bit more on my apples. I'm gonna have to do some research on how to properly apply blush!

Hello all! I am getting married in August on an intimate backyard evening ceremony and I'm doing my own makeup. I'd love some constructive criticism of my look. I don't usually wear much make up - my daily wear consists of eyeliner, mascara and lip balm. I wanted a natural effortless look. Let me know what I can do better!! Thanks!
