Help, bridesmaid look!!

[Ms.Lulu]

Hi ladies,

I will be in a wedding very soon and I will be doing my own makeup. I think I have all the products I am going to use but I would like advice and let me know what you ladies think! If there's another product that you would use please let me know! The dress is a light purple color (a little darker than lavender) and it will be an evening wedding.

Face Products:
Makeup Forever HD #153 (around NC42 in MAC Foundations)
Studio Fix Concealer in NC42 for face & NW30 for undereye are
Studio Fix Powder to Set

Eye Products:
UD Primer Potion
Mac Electra on Lid, Print in Outer Corner, Copperplate in Crease, UD Virgin to Highlight inner corners & brow bone
Mac Blacktrack Fluidline for Liner

Lips: Mac Cherish, NYX Natural Lipgloss

My main concerns are that the electra eyeshadow will be too shimmery for a wedding since there will be lots of pictures taken and that the eye look will be too heavy, almost like clubbing makeup?

What do you ladies think??

Evening wedding, a little darker than lavender dress, is the bride going for very night and airy look or a dramatic look? If you question that elektra isn't right for the event it probably isn't.

 

[Ms.Lulu]

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure how the bride will be doing her makeup, that is also a concern for me. She isn't into makeup all that much so I can't imagine her doing something very dramatic, but who knows. The other bridesmaids also aren't into makeup much either so I really don't want to be the only bridesmaids with a smokey eye.

What other colors can everyone recommend that would be suitable?

 

[Ms.Lulu]

What if I replaced Mac Electra with UD Virgin Eyeshadow that way it can be toned down?

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

Yes that would look pretty! The lipstick colour is nice too. So that it stays on you may want to use a lip pencil as a base and I wouldn't go too heavy on the gloss; just a bit.

I see you like Kim K's look and if you decide you don't want to do a smokey eye (which is a look I love), here is a great, less dramatic, bridesmaid look.

 

[Ms.Lulu]

Thank you for the lipgloss tip, I will definitely not add a lot of gloss!
I do love Kim K's look, very pretty! I think I will stick with the toned down smokey eye!
