Make-up Virgin
I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with make-up... but because my skin can be so unpredictable and because I'm having a professional photographer takes lots of pictures, I need to figure out what I'm doing... or hire someone.
I had my appointment at Sephora a few weeks ago. She definitely spent a long time, putting on various primers (to set the make-up), including a specific primer on my lips and another one for my eyes. She choose a lavender palette for my eyes from Stila. We used an awesome creme blush from Tarte. I wasn't crazy about the colors she chose for my lips... I'm definitely most picky about lipstick colors. I liked most of my make-up but I was definitely conscious that there was a lot on... and I think my skin was in shock! I ended up buying the blush and eyeshadow. She also gave us some fun free samples at the end :-)
I also had an appointment at the Bobbi Brown counter at Macy's last week. They were having a special promo because of Bobbi's new book and they brought in a bunch of make-up artists. I really liked the lady who did my make-up and she's really reasonably priced because she's based out of Connecticut (she has to figure out travel costs though). On the bobbibrown.com website, there's a "Ask an artist" link at the top and you can fill out a mini form for questions. I basically did my best to describe my skin type, what look I was looking for, problems areas, etc and she recommended a bunch of colors. You girls should try it. Bobbi brown also has this lovely "bridal palette" (picture shown) that I might be tempted to buy. For my makeup, she actually skipped the primers, used a foundation stick, no concealer, and a greyish palette for my eyes. I liked this lipstick color better but still not perfect. I saw Tom right after and he was surprised at all the makeup I was wearing. Plus I'm always touching my face which is not good when there's makeup on! Oh well... who knows what I'll end up doing...
