attempting bridal makeup

Okay, today's going to be my first attempt at doing bridal makeup. I'm newly engaged and I don't even have a wedding date set yet, but it's never too early to start practicing. I don't know for sure if I'm going to do my bridal makeup or not, so that's kind of what this practice is for. It's to see how good I can do it. I'm starting with this cream eyeshadow from Makeup By Mario in the shade Sandstone. I think I'm going to start with a light brown color. Keeping in mind I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel like bridal makeup is its own category of makeup and I'm not experienced in it, so I'm really just winging it. Honestly, not a big eyeshadow girl. So I'm going to keep it super simple. And then popping this cream shade onto the inner portion. And then I want to do almost like a smoked out brown liner, so I'm going in with this lighter brown and dragging it just on the outer edge of my eye and then up to like a wing shape. And then I'm going to move into the darker brown and start working that shade in and then back to the lighter brown to continue to blend it out. Since I did my eyes first, I can just clean it up and make it super sharp. Okay, I'm going to move on to skin. I like to keep my skin prep pretty simple. So I'm just going to do this Catrice skin glaze hydrating primer. After I let it completely dry, then I'm going to go in with my foundation. I was kind of back and forth on what foundation I wanted to use today because this is like super full coverage, but I know this is going to last and look flawless in pictures. So that's what we're going with today. I seriously don't know what they put in this foundation to make it so flawless, but it looks amazing. And then I'm going to conceal with my tried and true duo. This is the Ilia concealer and I do a little bit of that on my high points. And then I'm going to go in with the Natasha Denona and I do a little bit of that on my high points. Now we're going to contour/bronze with my holy grail. This is the Hung Vanngo cream bronzer. There's some products that I just knew right away. This was one of them. It blends out so easily. Always going to drag down the neck. And then contour my nose. And a little around the lips. I feel like it just looks like a serum filler. That is crazy. Contouring is actually insane. Now blush. So hard for me to choose. But I really love the Haus Labs blushes. I haven't used them in a while, so I'm going to mix two shades of these. Always pick it up on my brush first. I can't look at myself with this lip contour though. So I'm going to blend it out. I did glossy rose and then glossy hibiscus on the top. Now I'm setting everything in place with my Fit Me pressed powder and a powder puff. So on my forehead, under my eyes, and then just everywhere else. I'm going to go in with my Essence bronzing palette. It's a really good matte bronzer. And then I'm going to add the Kosas blush in the shade euphoria to top off my blush. I'm going to take my Elf highlighter and I'm going to place a little bit in my inner corner and then a little on my brow bone and then the tip of my nose. And then a little on my cupid's bow. The lip combo super important. So I'm going to go in with my Morphe liner in the shade sweetheart. This is like a perfect nude liner, but then I'm going to go in with the shade Penthouse and do over it. And then I'm going to top it with the Morphe drip glass crystal gloss. And this is the magic spray combo. First is the Costas cloud set just to melt everything together. And then after that completely dries, we top it with the L'Oréal infallible setting spray. So my face is all done. I think this is the finished first attempt at my bridal makeup. Here's what it looks like up close. I think it turned out really pretty. But let me know what you guys think. This is just the first attempt. So it can only get up from here. Bye.
