Well, I gotta tell you I'm a little nervous posting as I'm still quite new to MAC and learning better techniques, but I figure I can only learn by posting here.
This is more or less a trial for my wedding day makeup (the catalyst that got me into MAC in the first place, but I can tell the interest is going to last long after I'm married!). I've been planning to do purples for ages to bring out the green in my hazel eyes, but I also want to try a couple of other looks which I'll post as well and get opinions on.
BTW, I know this isn't the usual 'blushing bride' kind of wedding makeup, no neutrals for me. But it isn't really that kind of wedding, I'm wearing a green dress for starters.
Please ignore my hair, which needs a trim and had just been washed when I took the pics.
USED:
FACE:
Everyday Minerals concealer in Fair Intensive
Everyday Minerals foundation in Fair Medium Intensive and Golden Medium Matte (blended)
Everyday Minerals Silk Dust translucent powder
Everyday Minerals Blush in Sunday Brunch
Phloof! e/s to highlight
EYES:
Maybelline liquid foundation to prime (buying some UDPP soon)
Phloof! e/s
Pink Freeze e/s
Til Daybreak e/s
Nocturnelle e/s
Smut e/s
Blacktrack f/l on tightline and upper lashline
Maybelline Unstoppable pencil liner in Black on upper lashline and lower water line
L'oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black
LIPS:
A deux l/s
Oyster girl l/g
I'm not sure on the lip colour and I also think the foundation might be too dark. I'm thinking I might just stick with the Fair Medium and not blend it, or the Fairly Light Neutral I've been using before.
For comparison, here's a look I did on another day using the same eye colours but with Fairly Light Neutral foundation and a different lip colour from Everyday Minerals (Plum Dust)
Do you think it looks better?
