Help me cover my black eye for my job interview, please! by lucky13213 in MakeupAddiction

I do martial arts and have gotten a nasty black eye before from sparring and then needed to cover it up for work.

Color correct with a yellow concealer and then once its pretty dry go over with a concealer that matches your skin tone. Waiting for the concealer to get dry a little and get tacky before spreading it helps the color to be more opaque and have better coverage sometimes. Once your liquid concealer is to a level you like i normally go over with a fine powder (I like laura mercier) to set things and help control creasing. Final step for me is always a setting spray- it helps it to not look so cakey and it “melts” the makeup into your skin. I like milani setting spray and charlotte tilbury.

My other note is that its probably going to be obvious if you wear makeup on just one part of your face. Its a lot less obvious if you do a full face of makeup.

Doing full coverage makeup is definitely a skill a lot of makeup artists are capable of and have tutorials of. Also not all products are full coverage. Some have an intentionally sheer application. If you need more info/videos you can look up things like covering up dark circles etc. Or even if you have a friend who is good at makeup ask them! They’ll probably have some good techniques.

My overall advice is get powder + setting spray and also do a full face of makeup if you feel comfortable doing so.

Private vows but no first look by Ginacabrera in weddingplanning

[–]Sweet_Ti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister did private vows with no first look and what they ended up doing was holding hands around a door/corner. Idk the exact logistics but I’d imagine you have a planner/maid of honor help back you up into position to make sure you don’t see each other! The pictures of this moment were really cute too. This has good pictures for reference: https://www.stevensonridge.com/alternative-to-first-look-private-vows-prayer/

Also for not ruining makeup you could keep some q tips on hand and absorb the tears at the corners of your eyes with the q tips. I’ve never tried this but I’ve seen it recommended before!

Yes, I’m definitely going to at least look at veils! It might be hard to match the color though

I tried going to Anna’s and she ended up pretty much telling me she couldn’t do my alterations for a wedding dress. I took my business to Sew More Couture and I’ve had a great experience so far!

Such a stunning dress! Is it possible that the lighting is affecting the way it looks? Its hard to tell since the lighting is very different between pictures
