wedding makeup…

makeThe other day i did a makeup test for my brother’s wedding. it’s really been awhile but i think i still have it ^_^… for the akad nikah i wanted a natural  and fresh look but but i’m scared if the makeup will eventually look pale especially in the pictures. so i try using some intense colors but still in the natural tones like brown and gold with a touch of black, rosey cheeks (i tried red lipstick just to see if she can carry off red coz not many can pull that color off) and i think she looks stunning anyhow…

foundation-base-step-1

the very first step is to …

  1. clean face and get moisturized.
  2. then apply base/ primer this is to get that wonderful glow on your skit plus it’ll even out any imperfections.
  3. then apply concealer at your dark circles, under eyes,blemishes etc, with dabbing motion. DON’T RUB!just dab, then apply foundation evenly.eyemakeup-step21

Next is to start coloring the eyes…

  1. start with the brow. trim/pluck any ‘wild(unwanted)’ brow. DO NOT OVER DO IT! or you’ll look like someone who’s stuck in the 70s. then use brow pencil or brow powder using brow brush, start lightly filling in the brow. enhance the brow but dont over do it or you’ll look fake!
  2. in the no2. picture both brow are already drawn and then start applying a nude base eyeshadow. this is to enhance the eyeshadow more.
  3. then apply the highlights /the lightest color, all over your eyes,including the rims of your eyes to create a somewhat smokey eyes then in my cake i’m using gold. then apply a darker tone in my case i’m using brown at the corner of your eyes just below the eye bone to create 3d effect.
  4. then apply a dark brown eyeliner or black eyeliner on your eyelids and the rims of your eyes.
  5. lastly apply black mascara, about 2 coats or so. use mabeline they have the best mascara ever!
  1. almost-done1apply  eyeliner to define eyes
  2. then apply mascara
  3. then apply lipliner pink or nude shade
  4. then apply pink lipstick oh yeah don’t forget the  blusher, use slightly darker pink for night time and vis a versa. to apply blush just smile and blush away in a circular movement like an infinity/eight symbol..this way it somehow even out the color.

final-makeupthis is the final out come. the make up is the same here and i only changed the lipstick color. isn’t it great with just a change of lipstick color the whole appearance changes!
