On August 27th, puffy eyed and tired from my delayed flight the night before, I got to do the makeup for Jessica's wedding. I am so thankful she was the bride I had to do that day, as her relaxed attitude and the fact she had allowed for extra time, let me work a little slower then I was used to on a regular wedding day. Her and her wedding party actually sat on the couch and watched TLC as I did the makeup, which was not a sight I am used to on the day of the wedding. Quite often brides are a little more stressed and running around finding last minute things to do . But not Jessica, she was calm as can be and made for a very enjoyable morning of makeup. Jessica wanted a soft smokey eye for her wedding day, but because she doesn't always wear a lot of makeup she didn't want anything over the top. I decided to use a dark green colour instead of black( Mineral Matte Shadow in Olive Slate) to not only soften the smokey eye look but help make her eyes pop. I then used a highlight that is a mixture of gold and silver(Mineral Pressed Shadow Sandstone) and followed with a soft silvery green colour( Mineral Pressed Shadow in Emerald Mist) all over her lid. A lot of times brides will ask for the smokey eye look, but not really want a full on smokey eye, so its all about adding colours to soften the look while still giving you the drama you want on your wedding day.
