Mummy's wedding make up trial!

My lovely mummy is getting married and i wanted to create a lovely look for her so she looks extra gorgeous on her special day! When doing make up for a special occassion it is always best to have a trial run so you get an idea on the look beforehand and can make any tweaks if necessary!



BEFORE!





 

AFTER!....gorgeous!!!

Wow, this is a very good look for a wedding as it uses neutral and natural colour tones so will acentuate the best features without looking too cakey and heavy. I aplied a primer to the whole face to give me a smooth base. I then applied foundation over the whole face and going slightly down onto the neck, not forgetting to blend into areas such as the jaw line, ears and hair line! This makes the whole look seamless. I then added a shimmery pink blusher to the apples of the cheeks and went upwards to create added definition on the cheek bones. I then dabbed a little highlighter along the brown bone, down the bridge of the nose and just over the blusher i applied before. This will reflect light and make the wedding pics come out fantastic. On the eyes i applied a white shimmery eyeshadow to the whole lid right up to the highlighter on the brow bone. Then to give the eyes more definition i added a bronzey brown shade on the lower part of the lid going slightly above the crease line to make the eyes really stand out! Next i used a grey eyeliner to line the lash line. Again, black will look too harsh on a older woman so a grey or brown liner will look more subtle. I used grey as my mum has green eyes and the contrast seems to look really effective. For the lips i stayed safe and applied a nude lip liner and went with a gorgeous nude/beige colour called 'iced tea'. This looked amazing and because it was a light natural colour it added more youth and warmth to the face. When i showed her the end result, after adding a couple of coats of mascara to the top and bottom lashes she absolutely loved it and was so happy with her wedding look! She said she looked so different, (in a good way..hehehe), which is always nice and it really is the best part of being in the make up industry! Showing someone a few make up hints and tips which they can go home, get excited about and achieve by themselves is a great feeling! Thankyou mum for being a great model today and a great role model in general!! Love you lots!! xx
