Im hoping to get eyelash extensions but if not ill be getting fake eyelashes! apparently you need a little white sparkle underneath your eyes...so ive been told but im clueless too!! xxx

I'm doing my own makeup too. There are lots of GREAT tutorials online for traditional wedding makeup.

If you don't have it yet I'd recommend some sort of blush and bronzer to contour your face and some eye shadow - I don't think these were on your list. You want to wear more a little makeup than is normal for you if you are planning on a lot of pictures.

I'd recommend going to a makeup counter in a department store or Saphora and having them do you makeup to show you what to do - often they are free and you can get some good tips. Also if you go the eyelash extension route make sure you go to someone good so you don't look like you have tarantula eyes - I've seen it. And if you go the fake eyelash route I'd spring for the nicer ones at the MAC counter or something like that. The drug-store ones are great but you might want to have a little higher quality for your wedding.

I was looking at Mac. Are the separate ones better than the full length ones?

Unfortunately we're 3 1/2 hours drive away from any 'real' make-up stores (like Mac etc) joys of living in the country!

This might be a super dumb question but if you do Fake Lashes do you still need mascara?

What colour eyeshadow are you going with?

Our photographer is a photojournalist so we won't have too many posed photos but I'm still a bit worried!

I think I'm going to go with the full ones rather than the separate ones. I think I'll be more successful doing those in a way that looks right. Either way I'd recommend buying a few and practicing. Don't want your first time trying them out to be that morning.

I personally think it looks better to do a swipe or two of mascara after you have the lashes on so that they can blend in with each other more. Again - I'm sure there are a lot of youtube tutorials that'll reference fake eyelashes - and I'm sure everyone has a different opinion.

I think I'm going to go with light highlight color under my brow and in the inner bottom corner of my lid and then a couple shades of brown for the crease. Keep it natural looking.

I've got Smashbox Primer but I'm just not seeing the benefit... What's it meant to do?!

Think of it like primer on your walls before you paint... makes everything go on smoother and stay in place.

Yep. I have oily skin and always got a bad crease from eye makeup. I started using Urban Decay Primer potion and it's amazing how my eye make up stays perfect all day. No creases, no smeared eye liner. I will NEVER wear eye make up without it again!!
