I need some advice from people who know about makeup! I'm getting married in 3 months and will be doing my own makeup. The problem is, I don't usually wear it (apart from concealer and mascara) and have a few questions.
I'm fair skinned with a tendency to blush, my skin can get quite dry and is easily irritated by products, especially fragranced ones. I'm 34 so have a few fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes, but not many luckily. I don't want to look overly made-up - just like a more pretty, polished version of me!
1. How necessary is a primer? I know that I need to wear foundation to look good in photos, but because of how my skin is quite sensitive, try to avoid putting too much stuff on my face.
2. Could you recommend me a foundation that would suit my skin? I understand I need to avoid ones with SPF in for photos?
3. What kind of powder is good?
4. What colour blusher is good for somebody who blushes anyway?!!
5. Is lipstick necessary for a bride do you think? I NEVER wear lipstick, I think it looks ridiculous on me for some reason - lip gloss on a night out is as far as I go! I was thinking a lip stain or something?
6. What concealer should I use? I usually use touche eclat under my eyes, but I've heard that it doesn't look good in photos because it's a highlighter. but not sure what the alternative would be.
I think I will be okay with my eye makeup - I'll be investing in an eyeshadow primer, wearing some neutral eyeshadow, eyeliner and waterproof mascara.
any advice or tips would be appreciated, thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
