Face + outfit of the day - Wedding edition

I had it all planned. I was going to wear my Banana Republic strapless dress - I hadn't worn it in a while and it fit better than I remembered when I tried it on again after two years. I was all set for the wedding on Saturday afternoon but then I ran into the most beautiful dress at my local Winners. It fit like a glove. It was on clearance. I had to do it.

My boy taking pictures while I makeup my face. He's proud of this one because I'm in focus in the side mirror. Skilzz.

Outfit breakdown: Andrew Marc Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Bag, What on Earth Ring and a sterling silver bracelet I got at my local Winners. Also, silver leaf earrings I got at a local boutique. My shoes (below - someone doesn't understand the concept of full length picture...) are B. Makowsky and super comfy. And my toenails have China Glaze Pink Plumeria on them.




My face consists of: Estee Lauder BB Cream, MAC Moisturecover in NW20, Nars Laguna Bronzer, Tarte Amazonian Clay in Blissful, applied a bit patchy.
My eyes: Two Faced Shadow Insurance, MAC Shadows in All That Glitters, Shroom, Omega and Brun in the outer corner, Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in black, and a nude Pixi liner in the waterline. I have Annabelle Le Big Show mascara on my lashes, my fave.
Eyebrows are MAC's Brun eyeshadow and a Marcelle pencil mixture.
Lips are a mix of Dior Addict Extreme Plaza and a bit of Guerlain Bal de Mai. 

And that's it! I tried to go a bit more natural with this makeup since I was wearing such a fancy dress and the wedding was pretty low key. Do you tend to go natural for wedding makeup?

  1. So pretty! And your photographer is great ;) I actually haven't been to many weddings, but for the one I have been to, I just did a normal, naturalish face...so I guess so!
