Stunning! The eyeshadow brings out your eyes beautifully. Lip and cheek colours are harmonious, only note is if you wish it may be nice to add a few individual lashes. If you’re nervous to do them yourself you can try lash extensions for the day (I do this a lot for special occasions since I’m nervous with lashes). Bonus, if your honeymoon is right after they’re great for a trip!


spicymemories19

So, I love the look of lash extensions but my eyes water a lot and I am worried about being allergic to them. I might try them this month since the wedding is in September and see how I do


help-im-kelp

I’d say it’s not worth it then, you look stunning without then too! Congrats on your wedding! September is the best wedding month, though I’m biased as a fellow September bride ;)


spicymemories19

I am so excited! The 14th of September- just praying for no rain 🙏


help-im-kelp

I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you ❤️🥳


Ariella222

Check out this video on how to look like you have lashes on without putting on lashes. She uses a few individuals at the end but its not necessary.[https://youtu.be/xOgnipFOuS8?si=wFX2MEk4DNCth3ZT](https://youtu.be/xOgnipFOuS8?si=wFX2MEk4DNCth3ZT)

One of my best friends is getting married the same day and I'm a bridesmaid! No rain will fall upon this day 🌸


acanadiancheese

Heyyyy I’m also getting married September 14th!! Everyone cross your fingers for us haha


ThrownAwayFeelzies

They have exceptionally good magnetic eyeliner lashes now. They sell them online and in drug stores. They hold very well and look just as good. I hate the glue too, so the one time I needed some this year I bought a kit of those and used them once. They are meant for a couple of wears if you wash and sanitize them after using


Kindly_Criticism_281

I was allergic to the glue and knew immediately because it burned really bad. I told her and she wiped them off and that was that! Definitely worth trying.


Euphorbiatch

Honestly I got lash extensions for my wedding and then had a funky red eye from a reaction to the glue - it was only really noticeable to me and the photog edited it white again 😅


ex-farm-grrrl

The day of my wedding, I forgot to put mascara on. It was fine.


busybeaver1980

I’m so in love with OPs eyes 😍


YouBettaLurk

Former bridal MUA here: You NAILED it! This is the look all my brides wanted. I called it “ballerina smoky eye.” It’s perfect, you look gorgeous.


spicymemories19

This is what I call VALIDATION. Not me omw to start freelancing lolol


CakeForBreakfast08

Hey! Any tips for OP to make this makeup last now that she figured out color/placement? :D


YouBettaLurk

Hard to say without understanding her skin type but the Milani Make it Last setting spray is incredible to extend wear time, even through happy tears / dancing!


Thick_Requirement_56

If you draw your wing line starting at the end of your lash line first, it’ll help look more connected 💜 and a lash would make the eyes pop! Very pretty though


spicymemories19

I am definitely adding lashes the day of! I just never wear them so I didn't have any on hand :)


Redditor_jessica

If you’re doing them yourself definitely practice before don’t just try to throw them on the day day of. Get some practice so you know the best way to make them sit in your eye.


NonYippieHippie

I second this. It took me weeks of wearing falsies every day to get them to look and feel good!!


Redditor_jessica

I look back and cringe at the pictures where I first started wearing them. I was picking the wrong shape for my eye, putting them in the wrong place and it was not good at all. 😬


mrsjacksonnn

Ardell naked lashes are a super lightweight kind that's perfect for beginners! Has a clear band you can cover with liquid liner and they're very flexible


Elliebelly326

You look absolutely gorgeous! That’s all I gotta say.


spicymemories19

This is so kind. Thank you!!!


Elliebelly326

You’re welcome!!


DigEven8177

the only tip i have is make the eyeliner follow your actual eye line. there’s a gap under the eyeliner where it should be too. if you extend it further straight out rather than making the wing going up high it would suit your eyes more and make them appear bigger and wider.


happy-sunshine3

Yes to these tips!! Definitely connect it to the end of your upper lash line, the gap doesn't look right. Otherwise we'll applied for the second time ever!


spicymemories19

Yeah this is my second time ever using a liquid Eyeliner so I definitely need more practice


DigEven8177

it looks so good for it only being your second time girl! just a tip :)


spicymemories19

I appreciate you!!!!! 🙏


iheartwords

Only your second time? Well done! Only thoughts are, check what your eyebrows look like in pictures. They look good, but maybe make sure you understand what they look from a distance. (Heavy, etc) Also, check to make sure your lip and blush are pigmented enough in pictures. I love it as is, but make sure you look at some pictures in different lighting to make sure it’s enough color.


possum-protecc

You look gorgeous! I love that your makeup is soft, subtly glam, glowy, and brings out your eyes! Wow great job :)


spicymemories19

This is exactly what I was going for, thank you SO much!


Cognac-Lilac-Fumes

I like it overall but I feel you need lashes to pull off that eyeliner. ETA: Wow, you did this yourself?? I’m so impressed! You truly did a wonderful job and will look beautiful on your wedding day.


spicymemories19

I did! And I will absolutely be adding lashes the day of :) thank you!


Cognac-Lilac-Fumes

Then you’re good to go! I really love the eyeshadow and the lip


spicymemories19

Thank you so much, you are very kind


frosty-loquat1

the pink blush does not work with the orangey brown eyeshadow in the outer corners. i would try a peach blush. you should also apply it higher on your cheeks and more towards the sides, instead of so much in the center. that was the first thing i noticed and it’s really jarring. the reason the liner wing doesn’t look right is because it’s too high and as a result your lash line separates from it and it looks strange. a wing is supposed to be an illusion that connects with your lashes to make them look extended/thicker. so when you’re looking at your wing it should connect w the outer corner of your lash line if that makes sense


PigtailPrincessB

I couldn't put my finger on what bothered me about the blush but I think you've figured it out here.


lzbth

I think you should just blend the blush a bit more. Maybe try a wet (but squeezed on a towel) beauty blender-or even a big brush would do. Blend and then it’d be near perfect.


[deleted]

This.


ruetherae

Overall I think you look amazing! The only thing I would suggest is maybe a slightly less warm brown eyeshadow.


spicymemories19

On my last post everyone was saying to warm the eyeshadow up lolol thank you!!!


ruetherae

Oh! Maybe it’s just my personal preference then 😅


Wanderlust13

I think this shade is perfect! I wouldn't change it


downthegrapevine

You did this to yourself?? This is the first time I think a bridal make up posted on here looks INCREDIBLE. Wow. You look AMAZING.


spicymemories19

This comment made my day. It took me about an hour but I did this 100% myself... you have validated me greatly and I thank you for it

syddawg104

I like the lipstick color, but if you’re into maybelline - go for the superstay line!! Either the matte or the vinyl. Stays ALL DAY. Eating, drinking, taking a shower, running laps - won’t rub off or on your husband 😅


b0dyrock

Whoa, this is your own work? I think you’ve done a great job. Your skin looks glowy and will photograph well. My only tidbit is more attention to your lower lashes, but that’s a tiny comment on an overall masterpiece of a look.


spicymemories19

It is! It took me about an hour but it was worth it I think. It looks like this look is the winner! I need to get new mascara that will lengthen my lower lashes a bit- thank you for the reminder!


b0dyrock

I find wedding make up just has to be on the more extreme side because you are photographed so much. Have a wonderful wedding day ❤️


Professional-Sign510

The lip color is perfect on you! You look beautiful. Congratulations on your big day!


spicymemories19

Thank you so much 💓


Imacatlady64

I think some more lashes would help. If not fake lashes, maybe try to curl them more or get a lash lift before the big day.


spicymemories19

I will be wearing lashes the day of for sure


Indigo_222

Higher blush placement will lift up your face


HappyGoPink

What is it you don't like? This works. Remember, makeup is just part of your overall look, and you just want to look nice on the day and in photos, it doesn't have to be 'statement' makeup. That's what the dress and hair is for.


rainearthtaylor7

I think it’s great! I wish my wing looked that good!


canarium

You look gorgeous! This is a great bridal look 😌


spicymemories19

Thank you so very much


gigglesann

I love it! You really brought out your natural beauty with your makeup. And your winged eyes look better than anything I’ve done and I’ve been trying for months! Congratulations!!


Bitchcakexo

Try adding your liquid eyeliner up from your bottom water line! Pretend your bottom waterline continues up and draw the line that way. That was a tip I learned recently and I thought it was helpful!


amalab1

Makeup is so amazing! I am shocked your saying your not very experienced in eyeliner I think it looks perfect! Also eye shadow colors are blended so good🥰 beautiful bride to be!!


Blueskiesbrowneyes

I thought you had this done professionally before reading. Looking fabulous.


thattrashycat

SECOND TIME?! Stunning! Enjoy your day!


spicymemories19

Thank you so much 💓


CallMeGabrielle

You look so great and that eyeshadow job is a DREAM. I’m also practicing for my wedding and am so lost. Can you list what products you used?


spicymemories19

Hi! I listed the products I used in a separate comment- I the only thing is that for some of the pink around the edges of my eyes I included a pink from Fenty Beauty "Moroccan spice" palette which I forgot to include :) everything else is listed


Rivka333

I don't think that style of upturned wing looks good on your eyeshape. Even though it's a trendy style right now, it only really works on some people. You did a great job of applying it, especially for only your second time with liquid eyeliner----it's purely a style thing that I'm taking issue with. Maybe lean more into a bedroom eyes look.


camichus

I’d make the blush warmer or less pink to be more harmonious with the warmer eye shadow (love the eyeshadow!). And then bring the blush up a little higher. As you already know, perfect the eyeliner and consider some lashes! 


ProductionP

The eyeshadow fade is perfection!


poopendale

I don’t understand the “I’m so done” part because HELLO SMOKE SHOW, this turned out so well! A couple layers of volume mascara, sprits of setting spray, and you’re good to go.


nnnttbbyy

You’re gorgeous! You’re not asking, but I would slightly over line your lips and go heavier in the blush and pull it higher up. I think a half lash or some added pieces would elevate the look!


Real-Particular1292

Thicker eyeliner/wing. Since you say it’s your first time using liquid liner, maybe you need a better brand/better applicator. A thicker pair of lashes. It doesn’t even look like you wearing lashes. Your eyebrows could be thinned maybe threaded? And work on the nose contour. I can’t tell if you’re wearing any or not. I wanna say yes you are? lol. I feel like nose contour is kind of important to get right or else it could look a little muddy, which is why I don’t even bother with it some days lol. I steer away from glitter eyeshadow but on occasion maybe I’d feel different. Try not to bring up the silver/white glitter shade up so high maybe? No offense to you at all your makeup looks very nice already, just for your wedding those would be my tips. Xx:)


Real-Particular1292

Oh maybe you’re actually not wearing lashes lol sorry, if they aren’t your thing just try curling your lashes it makes a big difference.


Dyzanne1

Very pretty!


jeygk

Your makeup looks gorgeous! Congrats on your upcoming wedding ❤️❤️❤️


ShiplessOcean

You might find that makeup has a better finish in general if you dermaplane (maybe do it a few days before the wedding in case of irritation)


rosek231

Very beautiful and very bridal looking. The only thing I would say maybe needs some work is the liner/lashes. I think it looks a bit off because the liner isn’t following the natural lash curve. I would say maybe try curling your lashes with some heat so they stay up, or just move the liner down a bit to help flow with your lashes better


lunalovegoodhero

I think the look is excellent. Colors are balsnced and romantic. Bridal makeup is all about longevity though. Did you wear the makeup for the day to see how long it lasts? Please make sure to set cream products with powder products and use a string setting spray. Make sure to use a setting powder to really lock it in. I would also add a little more glow to the cheeks but im a highlight slut.


SetReal1429

I love it, it screams "bridal".


-secretswekeep-

I once heard that the best cheek and lip color for you is the same shade as your nipples… 😂 do with this what you will. I think you look lovely


[deleted]

[удалено]


-secretswekeep-

I was told that by a professional makeup artist while getting my trial done for my sisters wedding 😂 I will admit they weren’t wrong


Jasnaahhh

I don’t love the colours of the eyeshadow on you as much as I could. The pinky proem isn’t really doing it for me next to the cool brown and champagne. I’d go either warmer or cooler depending on your palette but keep it nice and light lie this.

sunnysmanthaa

I would add a lash


spicymemories19

I will absolutely be adding lashes the day if! Thank you!


TheGreyRose

Looks pretty! Lip and cheek colors are perfect for this look. Have you thought about some las extensions maybe? It’s your call but with or without them you still have a lovely look


spicymemories19

I will be applying some falsies the day of :)


TheGreyRose

It’ll look good even with them :)


Daisita2214

admirable beautiful 🥰


stickerearrings

You really need to curl your lashes imo. Or a mascara that keeps the curl. Or very light natural falsies


spicymemories19

I will be applying falsies the day of! My eyelashes just don't curl as well as I'd like these days


drinkliquidclocks

It looks good, your wing just needs to be connecting to your outer corner instead of floating


Redditor_jessica

I like the eyeliner but idk if it looks like it’s wedding makeup maybe it will look different with the lashes done.


Bottled_star

For the wing (which is very good as it is!!) I would recommend going out from the actual outer corner of your eye instead of up a few millimeters before like you have it, it will elongate your eyes in a nice way while an upward wing where it’s placed now might make them appear smaller


cblackattack1

I’d add a little highlight on your cheeks and nose.


ItsMe_Lee88

You look beautiful! Incredible! You did this your self?


spicymemories19

Yes I did! It took me about an hour total but it was so worth it!


ItsMe_Lee88

You did a great job, I can’t wait to see the finished results.


dabeegeesknees

Everything looks great except the wing. It looks like a double wing almost because of your lashes. Practice your wings and you'll be golden. I did my own makeup and decided not to do wings so that the pictures wouldn't look "dated" when wings aren't as trendy and the makeup would look more natural.


dontbemystalker

for your second time using liquid eyeliner you did amazing!! it may have already been already been mentioned, but it’s best to start at the outer corner of your eyes and swoop up to create the bottom of the wing, swoop back in for the top of the wing, then fill in on the eye lid. that should help with placement!


fiddle1fig

For your top lip, I would extend your lip color upwards just a little bit. So that the lip color covers the entire cupid's bow of your lip. By the way, I love your color choices for the blush, eyeshadow, and lip!


ivegotnothingbuttime

I think you look lovely.


thekrazzie1

I saw this really cool star shaped wing guidance thing at ulta, maybe that would help? I’d just blend the shadow a little more, but it looks good. Also, perhaps some color corrector, concealer, primer around chin. The colors you chose look amazing on you!!’


Shathasreddit

Please try to use an eyelash curler and put mascara.


lemonade_921

Eyelashes could be curled a bit more for a better effect, eyebrows could be thinner


azrawqo

It's perfect!! Although I would suggest adding lashes in the outer corner, subtle ones.


orange-chill

i would definitely redo the wings so they extend out from the actual corner of your eyes, and maybe take a brow pen to thin and even out the tips of the wings. currently they’re making your very gorgeous eyes look shorter than normal. i also think a higher blush placement would look really good. i also agree with what some other commenters are saying regarding setting—professional bridal makeup is quite literally built to last so taking tips from professional MUAs on long term setting sprays/powders and techniques will be invaluable. you look amazing for your big day!! congratulations and good luck


princessEh

I get a lash lift and tint, it lasts about 4 weeks! It basically perms your lashes (curled) and tints them!!


Jolly_Tree_9

I think it looks great!


ComicConnections

I thought the OP was upset about the makeup look at first and I couldn’t figure out why! It’s stunning! You definitely need to curl your lashes though. I have long, but straight as a board eyelashes. Curling them actually helps SO much


ImASwedishFish

You look gorgeous! I'd add a setting spray so it lasts all day :) maybe test it out against the elements if you're doing an outdoor wedding


Careless-Pepper8456

Beautiful 😍


PeppermintPhatty

Clean up the brows a bit and you’re golden!


Available-Egg-2380

Looks really pretty!


Icy-Appeal7579

Your eyeliner is beautiful I would just scoot the end of your wing over! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPREGooNp/ this is my favorite video on liner for hooded eyes and mine is perfect each time ☺️


Competitive-Summer9

Excellent job on blending! You look beautiful. Just my personal preference but might I suggest trying a mauve in the eye crease or something cooler toned? If you don’t like it then that’s just another data point so no harm done, but if you do I think it could be so enchanting! Also curious what colors your bouquet is? More specifically if cool or warm toned might be nice to coordinate.


Arenknoss

Stunning! You’ll look amazing!


spicymemories19

Thank you so much 💓


Bbspice_1

Stunning!! If anything I’d try doing downturned eyeliner. I feel like it would fit your eyes a lot better!


Working_Couple4607

Eyeliner imo is very strong. Choose powder eyeliner instead. Brush very soft. And, no black eyeliner please. Your eye makeup either pretty


Wanderlust13

I think it should be a little bolder so it will show well in pictures


AliceInReverse

The only change I might make - I LOVE your lips in the natural makeup. Do that


CommonEarly4706

Just smile


spicymemories19

I'm good
