Attack of the Bridezillas!

On Friday I accompanied my sister to the Bridal Expo at the Marriot in Times Square. My reaction to the whole thing? Whoa! There must have been at least 100 brides in that ballroom. My sister is getting married later this year so she wanted to see what this place had up for grabs. In my opinion not enough! The cakes were kinda blah and the resort packages were kinda dull. And no freebies! Ok I got a small tube of h2o body butter so thats something. What I didnt see too much of was makeup! So I was inspired to do a bridal look today using my UD Alice palette. Key for a bridal look? less is more. Accentuate rather than hide. Too much color is going to look like a mess and remember the bride is going to need touch ups the entire time so if u pack on too much color, you'll have to be cleaning that up through out the day. I also recommend using highlighting powder or cream on the forehead and bridge of the nose to capture the light. Youre going for radiant not greasy so dont overdo it.
Face: MUFE HD foundation # 153
         Nars Loose powder in Desert
         Laura Mercier concealer #4
         Mac select cover up for under eyes in NC35
         Mac Emote for contouring
         Illamasqua Chased blush
         Physician Formula shimmer strip for highlight

Eyes: UDPP in Eden
         UD Muchness on lid
         UD Mushroom in crease
         Mac Carbon outer V
         R&R Skintight for highlight
         Mac Texture to blend
         UD Perversion 24/7 liner
         Estee Lauder Sumptious Extreme mascara (the best!)

Lips: nada

My sister really wants me to do her makeup for her wedding but I havent decided if Im going to just yet. I dont feel confident enough and I dont want to ruin it for her. Ugh imagine! Looking like a clown on the most important day of your life?! Oh the pressure. Here's a pic of my VIB (very important bride) and myself at some burger joint in times square
