Don't freak out at the title - I am not the one getting married! It's my mum's wedding in...oh 30-ish days, and today she and I went to go and trial our wedding makeup. She is getting hers done at Chanel, and I am getting mine done at Dior, as you may have guessed from the title.
I was a little wary of getting my makeup done, worried that it would look like loads of makeup, or that I'd come out with super thick foundation. But after I explained to the makeup artist that I just wanted something simple and natural, she did the best job! I really love it, the foundation is light and water-based, the eyes are simple, the blush was amazing as it changed to fit my skin, and the lipstick isn't too bold, as I didn't want anything that would be obvious when it rubbed off.
I was going to take a photo of my mum's makeup too but she hates having her photo taken and I don't want to invade her privacy! So here's mine. What do you think? I'll list the products used underneath.
The one thing I noticed right away is that I need to get my eyebrows done!
Other than that I really like it. Here's what the MUA used:
Face
Diorskin Nude Fluide Foundation in Ivory
Diorskin Nude Concealer in Ivory
Diorskin Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Awakening Blush in 001 Petal
Eyes
Dior 5 Couleurs Lift in Ivory
Dior Crayon Kohl in Black
Diorshow New Look Mascara
Lips
Dior Addict Lipstick in 530 Bobo
The price of the makeup trial was a 2 product minimum purchase. I'll be reviewing the two products I got over the next few days but until then, can you guess what I got?

You look really pretty here, but if Im going to be completly honest, it doesnt really look like you have any make up on! But you look nice :D xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know - I did think it might be slightly too subtle when I saw it photographed! However, at least it means I won't have to do many touchups throughout the day, and since my dress is bright, I didn't want anything to clash.

That is a good point! :D What is your dress like? :) xxx
DeleteOh it's awesome! Haha - it's an Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress, bright coral and pleated all over - I'll be sure to post photos after the wedding on May 12th :)

Lovely and natural for the daytime and really easy to adjust for nightime too maybe smoke the eyes out a little and a slick of gloss x
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's what I was thinking too! The MUA did put lipgloss on me but I went for coffee and it came off. It was lovely though!

I love, love wedding makeups! So natural & fresh! Love the blush used on you, you look so pretty x
ReplyDeleteHaha me too! Thanks so much - it is lovely, but we all know I have a blush problem :P

Looks so natural! I think it's perfect, sometimes when you have photos taken you look back and look as if you were caked in make up and regret it. Really beautiful :) x

My thoughts exactly - I didn't want to look back on wedding photos in a couple of years and think I looked terribly dated! Haha! Thank you so much! :)
