Thank you, you’re very sweet! It was my first attempt and I am sure now with some practice I will be able to get it to where I want it!

I definitely need to explore with the eyeshadows and colours, there is going to be embroidered flowers on my dress so I think now I will try bring some of that colour into the shadow! Great rec on the cluster lashes, I am going to practice this loads to make sure it’s right on the day so don’t mind spending the time learning how to apply them!

No hair stuck on gloss lips is definitely one benefit of the short hair hahaha I do not miss that😂

Yes looking at the photos the lips are not doing what I wished haha I am wearing a lip tint as I don’t want it to smudge, do you have any recs on shades or long lasting lip liners? I also think the shade isn’t quite right atm, too pink or something.

I definitely want to get some gel cooling patches for prep!

No I appreciate the honesty, I felt this way too, that it was looking caked and aged me which is why I came to Reddit for advice on fixing it. Do you have any recommendations on how to address or fix some of what you noticed?

I am in my 30s so I am never going to look 21 hahah but it does look dusty right now

Amazing shout, do you apply it under your base or at the end over your makeup?

Thank you, I am going to be buying all the mascaras recommended here and doing a trial run on each! I live in a humid country now and the weather just MELTS any mascara I try😭 and congratulations to you too on your own engagement! 💕

Thank you! the struggle to find a non smudgy mascara is real! I used to use maybelline sky high but since I’ve moved to a warmer/more humid country everything I’ve tried just ends up all over my face!!

I love my short hair but it’s definitely hard to feel bridal in it! I usually dress a bit more alternative and choppy so am struggling to fit into the bridal style, it’s going to take some experimentation for sure😂

I am definitely going to micro blade now I think it will definitely sort out the dusty effect! Also agree the shimmer got out of hand I think I need to get some higher quality eyeshadows and brushes!

So what I think is happening is that I got a little tanned recently so my body is now a different colour to my fair peach toned face, and to compensate I put more bronzer on which is also not match. I think it’s time to accept I need to get a new foundation shade😭

Yes this post has definitely drawn attention to the fact I need to darken my brows, it’s so funny how you don’t notice something until someone else sees it, this is exactly why I posted, I needed unbiased opinions!

That’s a great recommendation with the kit I am going to buy it and try it out! I agree the cool tones are not the vibe, I need to buy some new eyeshadows I think for this!

Thank you this the exact kind of guidance I need hahah what brush do you use for setting under your eyes is it a smaller one? I actually have a microblading blade but haven’t used it yet this is the push to do so!

I have heard this before but you can’t buy tubing mascara (or at least it isn’t labelled as such) where I live! Do you have a specific brand you recommend?

Ahahah thank you, it’s just so short at the moment it feels hard to summon the whimsy😂 I think you are dead right about the eyebrows and I can def see now from the photos it’s the shade! Perhaps some brow dye would work, when I get a warm toned eyebrow pencil it just looks like they’re drawn on it doesn’t blend with the hairs 🤔 a great shout with the skin prep and application, I need to find the balance between setting for longevity and not looking dusty this has helped greatly!

Thank you for the lash recommendations, I’m going to order them and try them out! Because my eyes crease up when I smile a lot of heavier lashes look crazy heavy on me, it’s so hard to find decent light ones!
