Makeup for wedding

I think I'll move this to a page( as opposed to a post) later. Yesterday I went to the wedding of one of my oldest friends. To me my makeup was normal( since I have practised this look a lot, but never wore it out in day) and everyone loved it. From the people at my table, to the car trunk crew ( I was the only gal outside taking drinks from a cooler, in typical trini fashion), even my body art client ( who is with Miss Universe organisation and for him to like it was the best compliment for the day )


Foundation- Revlon Airbrush Mouse in Toast ( which is nothing to special IMO), L'Oreal Infallible Advanced in Soft Sable ( I swear by this foundation, it stays on whole freaking day)
Powder- Sacha Compact in Perfect Tan ( people bash sacha but they truely are made for Caribbean skin colours and I never found another that beats it to match me)
 Lips- Revlon in Raspberry bite ( the boldest blue red colour ever, not for the faint hearted lol)
Eyes- Nyx Primer
Ambrosia- loose shadows in Isis( gold green), Fairytale( purple), Pacifica ( not seen in pic), Roulette colourwheel , Black, Black Opal Gold Rush for all contouring
Liners- Revlon Khol in blackest black, Milani Liquid Eye in Purple, Maybelline Lash Stilletto Liner, Ruane Glitter gel in Purple
Mascara- L'Oreal Double extend in Black
Brows- Revlon Gel Liner
Bronzer- Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess ( dont see it here but in daylight it shows up)
Setting Products: Fix it spray ( of course, every trini gal with makeup needs this) and E.L.F HD powder ( if you dont have this, GET it)

Hmmmm no Wonder makeup like this takes me an hour to do ( clients are almost half the time hehe)


Oh and these pics were taken in the night, some 8 hrs after it was applied

  2. LOL, girl, They have some nice colours ( must use them with an eyeshadow primer to get the full effect though). The loose colours are best. The palette is a generic one that EVERYONE slaps their name on. Actually, the loose shadows/colourwheels aren't even made by Ambrosia, cause I found the site/company ( once online) that makes them. Either way some are stunning. I have Dual Chrome ones that I need to put up some pics with.

    1. I dont have large palettes since i'm not a makeup artist and i prefer to pick my colours and have them as singles or at least small kits so i can just pop a colour or two into my makeup bag when i go to work! and yes please put up some pics! you camera is awesome!!!!!

  3. I have one palette and I've used it more on myself than on clients. I have smaller Coastal scents palettes that are stunning ( check out their "Creative Me" line). I have got to stop buying shadows, lol cause they gonna sit and collect dust. I threw away some primers cause they were taking too long to finish and after a year a product like that sees the bin.
    After SBA's ( next week) I'll do some makeup pics and put them up, plus I itching to rock the short hair for some pics.
    Thanks, I have the Olympus E520. I love olympus, which makes me a freak in the Trinidad photography world hehehehe. Gonna buy some new lenses this year sometime, then I'll go bat crazy taking pics of everything.
    Another thing I got ur pics from giselle class, send me your email and I'll send them to you.
