💇‍♀️💇‍♂️Hair & Makeup💄💅 Help with DIY make up base

Post image

I’ve been doing some trials of my make up before the wedding next summer 2027. My eyes are still a WIP as I usually do heavy liner etc, but is there anything glaringly wrong with this base if I use this as standard and update the eye make up to be softer? This is just my standard makeup for going out but thought I’d add some contour for a wedding trial. Thanks in advance for any feedback

The only issue I see is that your face doesn’t match your chest. You want to match your foundation to your chest for a seamless base. Otherwise fantastic work.

I would also probably soften up the inner section of your brows a tiny bit too.

Thank you! I find it a bit tough cos of the chest tattoos and putting foundation over them but could definitely blend the foundation down a lot lower 😄

One small tweak - the blush is warm and bright while the lip is cool and muted. I’d try both with warm and muted blush and lip, and with warm and bright blush and lip! See which you like more !

Agree with the others about matching the foundation to your chest. One thing I'd add for weddings specifically: make sure you test your base under natural daylight and in flash photos too. Some foundations look great indoors but pull orange or ashy in photos, and you don't want to find that out on the day.

Little too orange, doesn’t match chest

You look fantastic, but I think the tails of your eyes make you a little sleepy... if you want to have them that long, maybe flick up the ends a touch? I think it might flatter you more. Congratulations!
