Wedding makeup

[Cydonian]

This kind of thing has been posted a lot but my circumstances are a bit different.

I'm having a very small ceremony with my fiance in July and I live in Virginia, so very very humid. I'm wanting to avoid a lot of heavy makeup because it will melt throughout the day. I've already picked up my favorite mascara in waterproof black.

Right now I'm wearing a cream/off white dress that has a subtle charcoal gray toile print on it. The dress is linen fabric. I'm not sure if I want to go for a pin up look or something else... I wanted to hear some suggestions!

I'm up for any brand, though I mostly buy Mac and Urban Decay. I may have to buy a few products for this though I think I own most every color... so if you don't want to list a brand, just list a description of the color, I probs have it!

Side question: What color shoes do you guys think? I was thinking maybe nude pumps but I'm not sure.

First of all, congrats on your upcoming wedding

Warning pic heavy lol.

You say you are wearing a cream/grey toile print dress. Is it anything like this?

I think pink colours look gorgeous with grey and cream. So I'm thinking a subtle pink pinup look? Champagne with a soft brown crease for the eyes, false lashes, flushed pink cheeks and pink lips?

Maybe something like this, tweaked for your colouring?

And this sort of hairstyle ?

And I think you're right, nude pumps would look great

Judging by your fotds, whatever you end up going with you will look beautiful on the day

Good luck! xx

Thanks so much for the reply! My dress is similar to that but a bit different, the print isn't so close together... very close though.

I love the hairstyle! I would have to try it out though as I have a rather large forehead, so I tend to avoid pulling all of my hair back like that lol!

Love your makeup ideas tooooo!

yay, I'm so excited! I never thought I'd be so happy to be someone's wife lol.

The model in the photo has a rather large forehead but the look works great on her. Some good contouring would help with the issue if it bothers you that much though.
