What Brands are you Using?

Dana, on August 25, 2019 at 12:32 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 5
What makeup brands are you using on your big day? What dream makeup do you wish you were using? I hardly ever wear makeup and know nothing about it! Looking for high quality makeup that'll last all day and look great in pictures. I've watched a ton of tutorials and read a lot of reviews. I'm going toward the glowing natural beauty look with some added sparkle and fake lashes! Thanks in advance!!

    I’ll be using Mary Kay cosmetics products. I love their products and I use them for all of my big events and their skin care daily. My face always look flawless with or without makeup.

    I know people have favorite brands for favorite products. Personally, my favorite shadow primer is Urban Decay's original primer potion. Smashbox's Full Exposure mascara is my current favorite.
    I have 2 foundations based on summer or winter- I bought at seperate times and like them both equally. One is Philosophy brand and the other is Clinique. Also, Clinique has a great "pore eraser" product "instant perfector" but I hear the Baby Lips dupe is just as good at $5. Never tried it, though. I can't think of my favorite face primer but definitely that is something to look into.
    A good setting spray, primers, and lipstick with staying power is probably the most important things, I'd say.
    I love Stila brand liquid lipstick but I highly suggest being super careful because a time or two I accidentally went past my lip and that stuff is no joke 😂 I had to scrub to get it off my skin. But it was also bright red lol so naturally it's harder to wipe away without residue regardless. But there are tons of great lipsticks with great staying power. Most liquid lipsticks have this ability.
    I have a Nars highlighter and contour duo that I also really enjoy but bought when they weren't animal testing.
    Suggesting a shadow is difficult because it really depends on what you're looking for as far as color? Glitter or no? Shine and shimmer or matte? It all varies. I use a Bahama Mama by The Balm for my crease color because it works great for my skin tone and color but this could be too dark or not dark enough depending on each individual.
    I can't remember a few products like my favorite blush- but it would be perfect for a "glowing" look because it has a shimmer to it. Certain highlighters would be perfect for this, too. I don't have a favorite but I believe Too Faced has a great one right now (diamond something or other)- or my favorite eyeshadow highlight color brand, or this great matte highlight I use under my eyes after concealer and foundation for dark circles, or my concealer brand.. If you're interested in any of the other makeup lmk and I'll look tomorrow for you.

    I suggest taking the time to try out the products and get used to them + ensure no allergy issues exist + see how well they hold up to you and your skin type.
    Sorry this was so long 😂😅

    I’m having my makeup done, but I know some of what’s being (or might be) used.

    Foundation will be Temptu airbrush with Hourglass primer underneath
    Urban Decay eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow itself we aren’t sure yet because my MUA has so many and I want specific colors, probably will be ABH or Too Faced
    For lips tarte liquid lipstick, I usually do matte but may use a non-matte for the wedding
    Lashes will be MAC singles if I decide not to get lash extensions prior
    Tarte or UD setting spray
