Today's Makeup Monday was specially created for the launch of Etsy Weddings. I'm a longtime shopper and occasional seller on Etsy, so I was really excited to be a part of this (and even more excited to see upcoming features)! You can read the step by step instructions on the site, but here are a few extra tips for your wedding day makeup:
- Don't stray too far from the makeup routine you are comfortable with; just perfect it. You want to look like you!
- Avoid products with SPF on your big day; it doesn't photograph well. If you've ever wondered why your face looks ghostly pale in flash photographs, it's probably because you had SPF in your moisturizer or makeup.
- Keep blotting papers nearby to soak up excess oil without having to cake on makeup.
- Do a test run before the day of your wedding. Check the makeup in natural light, artificial light, and with flash.
- And of course, go for the waterproof mascara and liner. That should go without saying;)
Wonderful!

I love this! I did a similar look on my wedding day :)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea SPF was the reason some brides look pale in photos. I will be sure all the brides I know are aware of this for their big day, I am sure they will appreciate how it improves their wedding photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Not that I'm getting married anytime soon to have to do a make-up DIY but, knowing that SPF causes that look, I'll be sure not to wear it later.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the super helpful tips!!

Love your lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI hardly wore any makeup for my wedding 4 months ago! I really only needed to darken around my eyes and then I was good. Brides should really be encouraged to think less is more.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, my favorite look!

The simplicity of this look is so gorgeous. I still can't get over the lipcolor! You said it's a stain, so I'd guess it's an OCC stain.
ReplyDeleteOMg can you be any more beautiful? Your makeup looks are amazing. Wish there were more of them!!

Wow I never knew SPF doesn't photograph well... so good to know!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful! Just found your blog and I am obsessed already!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you point out that you should look like "YOU" on your wedding, I've seen some very bad make up on brides...sigh*
ReplyDeleteMake sure you drop by my blog, I have a Sephora giveway going on ;)

Great tip about the SPF, that's handy to know in general not just for weddings! Can I ask what blush you used, it's such a pretty colour?
ReplyDeleteThanks! x
that make-up is definitely beautiful!! in love! :)

Hey Keiko!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a while and just saw this post! I'm getting married in 2+ weeks and have been looking everywhere for a stain that color! I looked everywhere and I can't find that color for sale- where did you find it? Or is there another similar color that you'd suggest?
Thanks!
Is Laura Mercier Hibiscus lip stain
ReplyDeletelimited edition or older? I can't seem to find it...
The very straight line of the black is so cool! I'm going to try that someday.
