Makeup help for someone who doesn't wear it.

Cont... this way be able to get it all fixed back up before the rest of the group gets to see it. (Of course when I get down the aisle and see my mom sitting there, I know it will start all over again. I'm a crier from a family of criers. Oh well. I hope the photographer is good at photoshopping the heck out of the smudges. lol

Yeah, I can't help you cause I'm the same way. But, FH does not like me wearing make up... he calls it "that shit on your face" ROFL

Waterproof maybe?

I still think it will probably get smeared all over when I wipe my eyes. Because I don't usually wear any makeup at all, I don't think about the way I wipe my eyes. I just swipe at them.

And though I've never dreamed of being a "princess", I definitely want to look pretty for my wife. (wow. I just got butterflies when I wrote that. *giggle*) So I know that I'll be wearing makeup but I guess I might have to start wearing some eye makeup now and watching sappy movies just so I can practice wiping at the corners instead of the "usual". Then I can go to the bathroom and see how well I did.

Waterproof, as well as primer under your foundation and eye shadow will help it to stay put... go to any local department store and sit and let them jazz u up. Mac, Bare En, and bobbi brown. All pretty great make up lines

Shannon carry a hankie with you and press not swipe. If you have tear proof its helps. Ask your MUA or one you are interviewing.

Waterproof for sure and just keep repeating in your head..dab, don't swipe...lol

Just want to agree with the other comments... waterproof makeup! Test it out beforehand and see how it holds up, if you don't want to make yourself cry you could use eyedrops or something. Go to the makeup counter at a department store, find a local Avon lady, etc. and ask them to recommend something and usually they will give you a free makeover or a free sample so you can test it out. I've heard spraying your face lightly with aerosol hairspray makes your makeup more waterproof, but if you don't dab your eyes you might get hairspray in your eyes which would be worse.

Waterproof mascara is definitely the way to go! Also, try keeping everything on the top lid with natural, fresh colors like creamy pink or peach. Keep it close to your skin tone, that way if you smudge it a bit, it's less noticable. And since you're not really a make-up wearer (which isn't a bad thing!) you should keep it as natural looking as possible: after all you want to look like you, not someone else when you meet your future wife at the end of the aisle!

If you're not that experienced, keep it simple with two - three colors all various shades of the same hue. Think of it like this... you want a peach, a cream and then maybe a peaches-n-cream combination... peaches-n-cream goes on your lid (from crease to lash line), cream is directly under your brow and the peach is put into your crease and then blend out into the cream! You can always add a thin line of dark brown to your upper lash line and/or mascara to draw more attention to your eyes!

Oh my gosh!!! I am the biggest crier of them all, greeting card commercials, Maxwell house coffee commercials.... movies, I re-read an old e-mail from FS today that I found tucked in a cook book from Thanksgiving 2003 and bawled for 5 minutes between laughing and crying from emotion.... Waterproof!!! and as the other ladies have said, dab, don't swipe. I know I'll be going like a faucet on my wedding day. Best wishes to you dear! I'm looking forward to the pictures of you and your bride!!

Mac products and waterproof revlon I heard were great types of make up a little high on the price but heard well worth it

What is airbrushed make-up? When I was casually looking up make-up artists in my area, I saw one of them does that kind. I know for sure it lasts longer than regular make-up, could it possibly also be waterproof? Sounds like it...

Shannon- I'll have to practice with you... LOL I'm sure a dork when it comes to that too. God thing I have a sleeveless dress or it'll probably have buggars wipes on it too! lol

Good* thing

Awwwww.....thats soo beautiful!!!'

nowadays, they have some type of mist that you can spray on after you're jazzed up & it wont move *supposedly*
