Thank you for posting this here!!!

No problem

It's still up in the tut area too.


BTW the last pic IMO is the best one m/u wise. It's fresh and a great classic look.

Thank you! It seemed a little too pink for me... but then again, I've never actually tied a look like that, so I guess I should before I dismiss it alltogether.

My dress is ivory, not pure white... and I'm blonde... so I want something simple, but still with a pop, you know?

I think the last look is the best. Is this purely makeup or do you also like the hair? I am all for the "blushing bride" look.... I think it looks so sweet and classic. That first look is a little darker especially for a day wedding? It would be a great look for like a rehersal dinner?

 

[alurabella]

Yeah, the first is a little too dark. I was hoping to find more coral loks, but couldn't find any... I also have very fair skin, and it's hard to find models with fair skin, and neautral makeup.

My hair is actually going to be pulled back in loose curls, with a gold head badn (I'll try to find my example picture).

I would definately go with the last picture. I dont think I would use as much eyeliner, As Im sure it wont be staying on my eyes all day! but other than that, the look is awesome!

I really like the last look for a wedding. It's very simple and elegant looking, and I think that it will work really well for you coloring.

Why don't you go to the MAC counters and present your dilemna? If you go early during the weekdays they have so much more time... I also love getting a free lancer because they aren't usually booked with appts and they have more experience in different cosmetic lines and will sometimes throw in a hint about what else she thinks might work? Are you going to do your make up yourself? Otherwise get some bridal magazines at a discount book store (they're like 1 dollar each) and cut out pages and put together something you like and take it to your MA that day and see what they can do with it. I did this for prom (yeah not the same as a wedding) but I was really pleased with my results. I put together eyes from a look and hair from another and lips from another and copy and pasted it... took it to the salon and I was like "this is what I want!"

 

[alurabella]

Ok! I've never had my makeup done at a counter... is it something you pay for? do they have set fees? Or is it just where you buy the products they use?

 

[kaliraksha]

Well on non busy days I've had them offer and do it for free.. if you setup an appt with MAC I think you have to commit to purchase at least $40 dollars of product... your MAC may be different though =)

If the look is too pink try using more rose colors. Rose will look very good with ivory.
