New & Need Advice

Greetings! I am a jewelry designer (clueless about the art of makeup) and was married on March 30th in Hawaii. I received so many compliments on the makeup in my photographs my mother suggested I should learn how to apply eye makeup. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a book or tutorial that will teach me about applying eye makeup?

My photos are here if you want to see what I am talking about.

http://www.hawaiiweddings.com/PhotoAlbumView.cfm?Album=March%2030th%202006%20%2D %20Elizabeth%20and%20Mike%27s%20Hawaii%20Wedding%2 0at%20Pukalani%20Falls%20Garden

The makeup artist applied fake eyelashes to the outside of the eyes too. Loved them!

Thanks so much!

Elizabeth

Re: New & Need Advice

Welcome to MUT! I am Marisol from San Francisco and I look forward to getting to know you. I looked at your pictures and you are gorgeous!

Check out the tutorial forums for some ideas on make up. I would also recommend looking at the Face of the Day forum for some inspiration.

If you are looking for books, I would recommend Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces. Its an awesome book and I find it quite helpful!

Hi welcome to MUT! You're very pretty in your wedding pics and the makeup is perfect. I don't know what book to recommend, but some of the members suggest Kevin A's Making Faces. I really need to take a look at this book too.

Re: New & Need Advice

Wow! What a nice welcome and friendly group. Thank you so much for the compliments and I will surely pick up Kevin's book. I have seen it book stores, but wasn't sure how good it was. I remember hearing Kevin’s name several years ago, but wasn’t sure if he was still at the top of the list for makeup artists.

Marisol, I loved San Francisco! I was there many years ago for the Black & White Ball. Fabulously fun town! I tried checking the tutorials last night and it said I needed 300 or 800 posts before I could access that area. Is that correct? Am I doing something wrong?

What a diverse group. Germany!?? Hi Annika.

Thanks so much everyone,

Elizabeth

Re: New & Need Advice

Your wedding photos are beautiful and you look great in them! I love your makeup in it. As the other said, the tutorials are a great way to learn to apply makeup. I think you need 800 posts for the video tutorials. But you can still look at the photo tutorials. Have fun!
