DIY make up, before and after *flash*

Haha you are like me, i have done like 10 practice "wedding looks" and i still have 5 months to go, your make up looks stunning i think a lighter lip shade would look nice aswell may soften your look

Wow, gorgeous

Looks great! I can't offer anything constructive as I'm useless at make up, but it looks great to me!

Looks fabulous to me!!

I have no idea about applying make up properly but I just went 'wow', I think its looks great and I like the slightly brighter lipstick too, very pretty!

Thanks guys, i thought i might try a different lipstick because that ones a bit too red and i thought pink might look better xx

Its stunning, do you want to do mine haha

Would love to bubblerawk however i live in the middle of nowhere in accrington so unlikely your close enough xx

You look beautiful. that is perfect wedding make up xx

Looks beautiful! Wish i could do my own make up! X

Looks fab your a natural x

Well done ... You have accomplished what most of us are paying pounds for!

Haha your not far away from my mum and dad, im from Rochdale haha but im getting married in notts so yeah a tad too far

Stunning. Looks like you've had it done professionally. :-)

Hello Bubblerawk nice to see someone else from Rochdale, im not to far from you im in Littleborough tis a small world x

OP your make looks amazing I would be pleased to achieve a look like that x

Wedding make up looks fab! New career, methinks?

Looks fantastic and I really love the lip colour on you. Photographers do say that you lose some depth of colour in photographs so I wouldn't go too pale with the lippy.

Looks really professional hun, you've done a really good job.

❤️

You do have the look of Victoria Beckham

It looks great! I would say more mascara!

You look amazing! I did a trial yesterday too, I haven't figured out what I'm doing with my eyes or lips yet I just wanted to get the base sorted! What products are you using out of interest? Have you found any must-haves? I like a darker lipstick too, I think you'd actually suit a bright red!

id upload mine but I'm on my phone and don't know how!

Aww thanks guys really nice to hear i did a good job as it took fooooooorever. I do actually normally wear a bright red lipstick so wanted something a bit different for the day. I also wanted to put fake eyelashes on but the ones i had, the individual ones, were ninja to put on so i gave up. Might look for some on a strip to try.

The products i used were;

Smashbox photo finish primer all over my face (except eyes)

Smashbox undereye primer

Urban decay potion primer, for my eyeshadow. (This really worked as well and my eyeshadow was still perfect at midnight last night when i went to take it all off)

Mac pro wear concealer- for all the pesky spots

Bobbi brown foundation stick

Mac prep + prime highlighter- for around my eyes

Chanel finishing powder

Mac matt bronzer

Bourjois blusher (wouldn't recommend this as it came off within a couple of hours and so will look for a better one)

Mac eyeshadow espresso matte (all over my eye) and mac eyeshadow wedge matt (in the centre of my eyelid)

Mac eyeliner in broque (stayed on really really well)

Benefit They're real mascara with maybelline falsies waterproof over the top

Ysl lipstickin rouge (its normally bright red so i was just sparing with it but its a fantastic colour)

Urban decay de slick makeup setting spray

Well done, you did a fab job!

I like it! a lighter shade perhaps on the lips and cheeks for a more natural and fresh look?

Looks great! Xx

I'm no expert and I'm sure a make-up hitcher can advise more, but I'd suggest more eye make-up and not going lighter on the lippy. My MUA put loads of eye shadow on me, and said that in pics, and lasting all day, it tends to fade or look washed out. Especially against a white/ivory dress. I was worried I'd look clownish, but in pics I look normal.

I'd err on the side of more than you'd usually wear, more eye shadow to add depth to the eye and if you have one, use a curling tong on the eye lashes and apply another coat.

It looks beautiful though, well done.

Gorg!!!! I really love the lip - what did you use?
