My Wedding Day Makeup

I am finally getting around to this!
I was lucky on our wedding day, my sister-in-law did my makeup and hair and it was amazing.  She also planned our entire wedding. Amazing woman overall.

I had all the make up we used (minus the eyelashes), because I'm an addict and even bought a specific blush for the day.
I love blush.  I just bought two more.  One day, soon, I'll do a blush post.

Of course I did my skin care first:
Shiseido eye masks-these are a holy grail for me, especially before any event.
Make P:rem micro tension cream-I love this stuff but it's becoming harder for me to find ever since GlowRecipe stopped selling it, luckily I hoarded a few of them.
Shiseido eye cream
Biore Sunscreen- This sunscreen works amazing for my skin. It has a strong alcohol scent but it disappears pretty quick. I actually just bought 3 back ups of this the other day.

If I remember correctly I used three primers on the big day:
VDL Lumilayer primer- great for glowy glass skin
Tatcha Silk Canvas- Great for smoothing out my skin. I save this for special occasions. I love Tatcha products.
Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer- I used this in my t-zone where my pores are most prominent just for some extra smoothness/filling
Becca Under-eye brightening correcter in light-medium- I have been buying this for years now and I've only gone through three or four jars of it. I hope they never stop making this.
Wet 'N Wild Mega Cushion Color Correcter in Peach- If you couldn't tell already, I love a bright under eye.  Not going to lie. . .I have about 6 back ups of this in fear that they'll discontinue it like L'ancome discontinued theirs.  I can't say enough good things about this.  Sometimes I will go without concealer and just wear this for the day with a bit of blush.

 Surprisingly I wore foundation but not concealer on the big day.  But funny story, the foundation we used I use every day as my concealer.
Laneige BB Cushion Hydra Radiance in Porcelain- This is my every day concealer, it's so natural and glowy, I love it.  If I need extra coverage I will add a dab of something on top, but that's rare as I just love how this looks.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light- I feel like this is just a list of my holy grails as I've repurchased this powder quite a few times as well.  It's not heavy, makes everything look blurred and it lasted from about 11am-2am the next day.  The foundation and this powder are a great combo for me.
For contour and blush we used Charlotte Tilbury.  The Filmstar Bronze & Glow in fair/medium was a spur of the moment purchase on my birthday a few years ago and has been a favorite ever since.  The bronzer is a perfect shade for my skin tone.  I bought the Cheek to Chic blush in Pillow Talk a few weeks before the day, I just couldn't say no to color.
Then for highlight I had to use my Dior Nude Luminizer 001, had to.  I love Dior.  I bought the luminizer a couple years ago during a Sephora sale as I had been eyeing it up for a long time.  When we did my trial run for makeup a gold-ish Maybelline highlight was used, which was pretty but gold didn't suit my skin tone and then I remembered that beautiful Dior one that I save for special occasions and it was a perfect fit.  I'll be honest, the shade 001 freaked me out a bit at first as it looks so gold online but it's actually a beautiful nude shade and great for my yellow undertone.

Another Dior product, the brow styler in universal dark brown.  I love how simple this pencil is, one cap, a great spoolie and the product just twists up.  This shade is perfect for me, absolutely perfect.  It's a bit pricey for what it is but it works so great. 
Fun fact, I've taken apart the pencil before and there is little product waste left in the little holder thing inside once you get to 'the end' of it.

The eye makeup.  We went with the palette that, oddly enough, screams romance to me: Urban Decay's Naked3 palette.  I feel like we neutral-pink for the look and the darker tones in the palette were less harsh than a black.
For inner corner highlight we used my all time favorite eye shadow, Stila's Kitten.
I've tried rewriting what I want to write about this eye shadow and I have no words. I love this to death and, in my eyes, no eye shadow will ever be better than it.  It is the most perfect creamy, nude, champagne color and the texture is like butter.

I'm pretty sure we used Ardell wispies.  I'm not going to link them as I'm not 100% sure they were the wispies or not.  For someone who never wears lashes, these were surprisingly comfortable for the 14 hours I wore them. 
Over top we put a little bit of Nars Climax mascara, just to blend everything together.  I tend to be more of a length than volume person when it comes to mascara and I find this does both very well.  I usually hate volume because it comes out so clumpy, but this is great for volume without the clumps.

For the lips I bought options as I wasn't sure what I wanted to wear, but in the end I went with a Buxom duo that came out for the holidays.  The Buxom Plumpline Lip Liner in Incognito is a great your lips but better nude shade for my lips and I love it to line the lips or wear over the entire lip.  On my wedding day I wore it as a lip liner and over top I wore the Full On Plumping Lip Polish in Dolly. It's such a great neutral, mauve color and I felt like you could only tell I had something on my lips because they were glossy.  I personally love a glossy look over a matte one, but I tend to have dry lips.


The perfume I wore was Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace.
It is my favorite scent ever, especially in Autumn, so it was perfect for our October wedding.
   
And that is everything! 
The whole day was more than I ever imagined it would be and looking back on it I wouldn't change a thing.
