My Bridesmaid FOTD
November 25th, 2007 by Lilan
I managed to find one photo from my cousin’s wedding - the photog took this picture and gave us an instant print!. And with my new camera, I just snapped a photo so that I could have a digital copy for myself (I know, super ghetto :D). Isn’t Big Daddy so handsome? Too bad the photog didn’t focus in on us both - why?!
Anywho - here’s what I used for my makeup that day!
Face:
- Chanel Hydramax+ Serum after cleansing, then
- Chanel Hydramax+ Moisture Boost Cream
- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Nude
- Lancôme Dual Finish Fragrance Free Powder Compact
Brows:
- MAC 266 Small Angle Brush
- Shiseido Eyebrow and Eyeliner Compact in BL3
Eyes:
- MAC Paint Pot in Painterly - base
- Laura Mercier Petite Eye Palette in Nighfall
- Topaz (bronze-taupe shimmer color) - all over lid
- Deep Night (dark navy matte color) - outer lid/crease
- Pearl (champagne shimmer color) - browbone
- Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Black Ink
- MAC #32 Lashes
Cheeks:
- MAC Powder Blush in Peachykeen
Lips:
- MAC Lip Pencil in Lure
- MAC Lipstick in See Sheer
- MAC Lipglass in White Magic from the McQueen collection

Oh, so pretty!!! I love it! Aren’t #32 lashes great? Those are probably my favorites. Also, I love the flowers in your hair. Did you all do that, or is that your personal inspiration?

Hey Jen! I love the #32 lashes. My regular lashes are soo short that even these super natural looking ones make my eyes pop! I always love to put flowers in my hair, it’s perfect and romantic for a wedding - and all the makeup I did myself!

Hi petitebelle!
Thanks so much, I really wanted to make the best of my orange bridesmaid dress with some orange daises

Thanks Kia! The color may have been accentuated by some mixed drinks I was consuming that evening

Love it!!!
On November 27th, 2007 Anna said:
Wow I love your cheeks! Such a gorgeous colour! Btw, do you use LM Tinted Moisturizer - the oil free version or the regular one?
On November 27th, 2007 nilla cookie said:
Thanks Beth and Ivy!
On November 27th, 2007 nilla cookie said:
Hi Anna, thank you so much!
I use the regular version of the tinted moisturizer since my skin is on the normal/dry side. If you tend to get a little oily, I’d use the other version
Thanks for stopping by!

LOL

Your FOTD looks fab! Beautiful eye colors….hard to beat Laura Mercier for that. Love her tinted moisturizer, too!

I love this look. Elegant and perfect for a wedding!

Hey Beauty411!
I really do love LM tinted moisturizer - a lot. Her shadows are great, too. Although I must say, the matte navy was a little hard to work with and blend, but in the words of Tim Gunn, I had to “make it work!”
Thanks for stopping by!
