Wedding Day Throwback How I Did My Makeup, More Pics

Our wedding was featured on Black Bridal Bliss yesterday, and we got positive feedback. It was so cool looking back at that day, the best day of my life thus far. Anyway, I did my own makeup for my big day and I got a question about what I used so, here you go:

Face:

Urban Decay Pore Perfection Complexion Primer (base)

I was experiencing a break out on my wedding day but this stuff helped to make my skin look smoother. My only gripe is that it goes on light at first but after a while it starts to feel heavy on my skin. Everyone’s skin is different so it may work for you but I don’t recommend this for long wear if your skin is oily. I have combination skin but it was winter time, so my skin wasn’t as bad.

Urban Decay’s All Nighter Spray (to set the whole look)

This stuff is AMAZING!!! My make up did not budge at all for the full 8 hours that I had it on (before washing my face), not even my eye liner, which is always a problem for me. I had gotten this as a sample near my wedding day and decided to test it out beforehand. I’m hooked! I don’t travel or do anything makeup related without this!

Cover Girl’s Queen Latifah Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundation in Rick Mink

This is my favorite drugstore brand foundation. Actually it’s the only one out of two that I actually like and that actually caters to my skintone (the other one is Black Opal) properly.

Eyes:

Mac Prep and Prime Eye Base (I didn’t really need this since I used the Urban Decay primer but I was being anal).

Sephora Brand Waterproof Gel Liner in Black

Stila Convertible Mascara (Waterproof)

Urban Decay’s Naked Palette – I can’t remember which individual shadows but I went more for the four colors on the far left.

I also added a pop of white in the corners of my eyes using NYX’s jumbo pencil in “Milk”

Brows:

Tarte’s emphasEYES Waterprodd Brow Liner

This stuff is amazing!

Lips:

OCC Lip Tar in Strumpet

Cheeks:

Mac Powder Blush in Sweet as Cocoa

And here’s a few more pics from our day:
