Wedding Belles!

This post has been a long time in the
making…

My brother got married almost a month ago, on September 10th, and I was given the (rather scary!) responsibility of doing the makeup. I thought you might be interested to see
what I used on the day, and of course some of the pictures of the beautiful bride and her bridesmaids (myself included!)

When I laid the products out on the floor
to take this picture it actually looked like a lot of products, but the looks
we went for on the day were very natural, classic ‘bridal’ looks.

Firstly, for the bride…

Armani Fluid Sheer in Pale Shimmering Rose, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B30,

Veil, Urban Decay Eyelash Curlers, Sleek Contour Kit in Light (I only used the
contour shade), Stila Kitten Highlighting duo, MAC blush in Desert Rose, Urban
Decay Primer Potion, MAC Brow Set, Smashbox Brow Tech in Brunette, Bobbi Brown

The happy couple…

We all had such a fabulous day, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the bride and groom look so happy! 

There is one thing I hate about weddings though… They seem to go so quickly! I never wanted the day to end and it went by in a flash!
