Make Up Monday

So I know that you ladies mentioned needing make up tips, etc so I figured maybe we can share pictures that we have come across.

I am going for a more natural look so here is something that I came across.




Let me see what you got ladies!!!

    I'm going for a more natural look but with rosier cheeks and more of a pink lip.

    My dress is bold, dramatic, and couture so I need a look that goes with that. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about makeup so I am going to try some looks with my friend/makeup artist.

    I am having an early wedding so I want my makeup to be really fresh and natural looking. I'm going to play up my eyes and go really natural with the rest of my face.

    I love this look on Chrisette Michelle, I went for a more natural and light pink based makeup for my epics, so I want something more bold maybe between the Chrisette and the Monica

    I love this idea, because I need lots of help in this dept.  I will more than likely go with a more natural, subtle look because I typically do not wear makeup, so I don't want to look like a stranger to my FI on our wedding day.  I plan on scheduling an appointment with a MUA soon.  Have you ladies done a trial yet?  If so, with who, and did they charge you for a MU trial?  I went to the mall a few months ago, and I came out looking like I was in black face.  I looked a hot mess.  The foundation did not match my complexion at all!  So, I definately need a more natural look.  I would post a pic, but y'all know I struggle with posting pics  on this board with the new format for some reason.

    Because I recently cut my hair again (silly me!!), I will wear my hair like Malinda Williams and go for a fresh, bronzed face like Monique has been rocking lately. Very nude, sun kissed, false lashes, that's it. I normally don't wear makeup so I want to be natural looking.

    This is a great post....I love you'll ideas.  I will be going with the natural look like Sanaa.  My FI biggest fear is not being able to recognize me on our wedding day.

    @ TinaMM- Why not go bold for the reception..it looks like you could have a lipcolor change and drama up the eyes rather easily in between. 
    I love this post cause I have no idea what mymake up will look like!!

    @Rhoyal 1, I was tinking that too, luckily one of my best girlfriends is a makeup artist and she has been told she will be put to work, and she's cool with it since she does not do many brides makeup. I just want my Dh to kiss me because he is not a lipstick fan. lol
