So I've been trying to find out what kind of make up to buy for the day of my wedding. I don't often wear make up but do know how to apply it myself and that is what I am planning on doing it for that day. I want a beautiful natural look but am not sure what to buy. I have blue gray eyes, dirty blond hair, and a fair but very rosy cheeks complextion. I don't want to spend a lot on make up seeing how I don't often wear it. I would like any advice I can get on this. Please help.

Hello,
I would try your local sephora, for their sephora brand line of cosmetics. It is very well made, and the price cant be beat. I would try their compact powder foundation. It is easy to find a color to match, they offer color with yellow undertones and pink. Then I would suggest either going with individual colors, such as a matte ivory the brow bone area. A soft lavender for the lids, and up to the crease area.Prices about $10 each. If you want more defintion, add a third darker color in the crease area ( below the browbone and above the lid) This color can also be used to set your eyeliner in place, with a damp mini brush. Looks best when the top is darker than the bottom line. I would suggest a deep gray.They also offer a kit, that has multiple eyeshadow colors with blushes too. Around $40. Their lipsticks and glosses are $10. I love the glossy lipsticks, its half lipstick and half lipgloss. Photographs very well. I would avoid anything too smoky or dark around the eyes. Its too overpowering for a bride. And you may regret it in a few years looking back at your photos. : ) Michelle Larner, Professional NYC Makeup Artist http://www.weddingmakeupbymichelle.com
