Hello friends!  I am so excited to finally share my highly-requested wedding day makeup routine!  And Yes, I did do my own makeup on my wedding day!  It was so special to me to be able to sit and create the look the reflected how I wanted to feel as a bride.  To me, it was the perfect look for the most perfect day.  Below, I am sharing all the products I used, and why I love them!  Happy Inspiration~

SKINCARE

  1. Sonia Roselli Waterbalm- This MUA-made product is by far my favorite skincare product.  I applied it all over my face, and let it sink in for 15 minutes. 
  2. Becca Backlight Priming Filter- I first started with this primer, highlighting all the high points of my face(or as I call it, the highlight behind the highlight-let's glow baby!)
  3. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer- Next I applied this primer to all the more oil-prone, or porous areas of my face.
  4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion- This eyeshadow primer helps to make sure your shadow stays in place all day long, as well as staying vibrant!

BASE

  1. Georgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation- This foundation, while pricey, is by far my holy grail.  When my skin type changed to the drier-side, this foundation helped me find my glow again! I applied with my beloved damp Beauty Blender.
  2. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer-  I used this concealer conservatively under my eyes only, as a little goes a long way!
  3. Soleil Tan De Chanel- This product is another one of my holy-grails, and I used it to warm up my face as well as give it dimension.

POWDERS

  1. RCMA No Color Powder- This powder is truly amazing.  It has no pigment so it can be used on the lightest to the darkest skin tone.  I used it to set my under-eyes as well as any oil-prone areas.
  2. Becca Mineral Blush- Used this beautiful blush in the shade Flowerchild, and applied it very lightly to the apples of my cheeks (this product is SUPER pigmented!)
  3. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder- I then applied the ambient lighting powder in Luminous Light to all of the high points of my face. This highlight can act as a finishing powder so feel free to be liberal!
  4. Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector- I finished off my face with a small amount of this highlight in Champagne Pop in anywhere I wanted extra luminosity.

EYES

  1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pro Palette- I have definitely always been a brow powder lover.  I believe it gives great natural shadow in the brow to fill it in just enough!
  2. Viseart 01 Neutral Matte Eyeshadow Palette- Say hello to another one of my holy grails!  This eye-shadow palette may look average, but it anything but.  The pigment and blendabilty is unmatched!
  3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette- I mixed the highlight shades in this palette to create dimension and glow on my eye.
  4. Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner- This liner is cheap but mighty.  When applied with a waterproofing serum, it will move nowhere and stay suuuper black all day + night!
  5. Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara- This is another one of my inexpensive loves. No matter how many high-end mascaras I try, I always come back to this one!  I used this mascara + Sonia Roselli's Drop Lashes to create a full and dreamy lash-line.

LIPS

  1. Mac Lipliner in Soar- My all-time favorite lip-liner had to be a part of my wedding day look. I used this as a base to ensure my color lasted all day.
  2. Tom Ford Lipstick in Indian Rose- I searched high and low for the perfect lipstick.  I literally searched for months before finding Tom Ford's Indian Rose.  It is the perfect my lips but better shade!
  3. Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer Lipgloss in Sugar Sugar- Lastly, I applied Sugar Sugar to the center of my lips to create fullness and shine.
