Askmewhats Version: Just another "Bridal" Look

When I had my one-on-one make-up lesson with the Chief Make-up Artist of P&J Ms. Cherry Pacheco Uy, the first request look I've asked from her is Bridal look. I know bridal look is one of the most difficult look a make-up artist have to do as it requires flawless skin that looks so natural yet a "glow" should be created for the Bride's most important day of her life. Plus that fact that everything has to be waterproof! LOL

---------------------------

Did you know?

I cried while walking down the aisle? The moment the door of the church opened, I looked at Keith, then to my parents, then I saw my mom crying! LOL There you go! Poise --- GONE! lol But thank God for waterproof make-up, I know how important that is!!!

-----------------------------

A reader requested me to do a bridal look, I have to apologize as I didn't complete all the "Bridal" Look requirements, I've only used Mineral Foundation as I came back from work and putting on liquid foundation on my "already made up" face felt weird. But, because I love you my dear reader who requested this look, I've done this before the year ends. Congratulations in advance and I hope you have a great wedding next year!


Here's my finished eye look



Diagram time!



1. Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Barely Beige - swept all over the crease



2. Lancome Maquiriche Eyecolor Duo Matte Brown color - out V corner to deepen the crease.

For bridal look, try to use matte colors as glittery shadows will not show up good on photos.



3. Bourjois Beige Rose - to highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the eye.

Choose any beige color but make sure not the shimmy ones.



Other products used not on diagram ---

FACE


BRTC Cover BB Cream Ellana Premium Foundation in French Vanilla
(thanks Shen love this!)


For the EYES


Make up Forever Concealer Palette no. 5
1st - the weird orange color under the eye area

2nd - covered a layer of lightest concealer on top of the weird orange color



Cover Girl Lash Blast in Black
Paul & Joe Duo Crayon in Black

Stila Smudgepots in Black using CS White Angled Liner brush

Final look




Eyes closed

Yes, I've used a natural looking falsies!




I'm ready to walk down the aisle?

Nah..lol Been there done that!





I hope you enjoyed the simple Bridal Look!

  17. Gracie, no wonder we're good friends, we're CRY BABIES on the loose!

    Beeyoutiful7, thanks for liking my wedding shot, I was so worrying about my make-up all messed up, when I'm finally with hubby, the first thing I asked is: "Are my falsies still intact?" lol :)

    NicNic, thanks girl! take care on your way back to Japan

  18. Aika, I cheat, i want more money! I put BILLS! hahahahha :)

    Liz, happy new year to you too :)

    Jojoba, it's ok :) I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, I just knew the use of Green and Purple, i was staring at the red orange one wondering what it's for, I will mix and match and will report back which works and which doesn't :) I'm glad you love the post :)

    Prettybeautiful, I know!!!!! The bride should look radiant and natural looking, now clownish :)

  19. Nikkiz, awww thanks for saying that! I'm touched!!!

    Nilla Cookie, I am so happy I got the Bourjois e/s from Malaysian friend, if not because of her, I wouldn't be able to try the beauty of Bourjois :) Happy new Year Lilan :)

    Purple snowflake, you are so right!!!! Eventhough I love putting make up on other people, people who have seen me would know that I'm into light colors or neutrals, hubby doesn't like it if I put too much! :) So does most of the guys! :)

  20. Liz, :) Happy New Year to you too and I'll keep on smiling for sure!

    Yumeko, it meant "fortune" down here. I think it's Chinese or Filipino think? I'm not sure, but we do that! We also create noises...to drive the bad spirits away, sounds crazy, but it's FUN TO DO :)

    Syen, hold on *hollers to hubby to read your message* lol he said HE KNEW he's a lucky man! Aawww..thanks girl!!!! My head is bigger now!

    THSG, Happy new Year to you too!!! More posts from you and videos! :)

  23. I almost cried when my husband spoke of his wedding vows to me. It's not the conventional ones, so I had no idea what he was going to say. At that very moment, everyone in the church disappeared and it was just the two of us :)

    Happy new year, sweetie :)
