It is no secret that I will do my own makeup on my wedding day. Truth be told, there are a lot of people who does not support this idea of mine. One makeup artist told me that people have gotten used to my makeup technique that my wedding makeup will most probably look ordinary to most people who knew me. So, I changed my makeup technique to prevent this from happening. :) That's one dilemma off the list. For other, I will be too stressed to have the courage to put on makeup on my big day. Ironically, putting on makeup will surely be my stress buster on that day. I remembered when I was in law school, I would put on makeup while studying to calm myself. Hence, the name of this my lucid intervals. :) The people who have been very supportive on my idea of doing a DIY wedding makeup are none other than -- my fellow beauty bloggers. :) I have to thank Liz Lanuzo for her previous post on wedding makeup which made me realize that I should do it myself.
The recently concluded wedding of Heart Evangelista inspired me even more. I am a self confessed fan of her makeup artist , Albert Kurniawan. The way he does eye makeup is impeccable. When I saw, Heart's makeup on her wedding both in Balesin and here in Manila, I immediately knew what my makeup peg will be. :) Oo ako na ang feelingera!! Kiber naman, diba? hehe
Here are a few photos of her look:
Amazing noh? From her eye makeup to her lip color. Everything is perfection. For fellow future brides out there, I dare you to research on your pegs and do not entirely rely on your makeup artist on your wedding day. Know what looks good on you like knowing your YLLB lipstick will be big help. Just a quick kwento, I saw a bride on my facebook newsfeed and I was taken aback on her makeup. She looked darker and washed out because of that pale lipstick. :( Brides- to- be out there, invest on a good makeup artist (kung mayaman lang ako I will definitely hire Alert Kurniawan or Mickey See) because no matter how good your photographers or videographers are, no amount of editing or photoshop can fix a makeup gone wrong. Okay? Shucks ako ata ang kinabahan sa babala kong ito. Haha Well, this prompted me to practice and do more research for my wedding makeup. I need to find good products that will bring out my inner glow. May ganon! So, here is my trial makeup (unfinished look,,, products not properly blended pa). { Of course, I will not show the final look until my big day!}
