I've decided not to get a makeup artist for the wedding. I'm super fussy about makeup artists in general and usually hate getting my makeup done by anyone else as I hate heavy cakey looks! I must be the one person in the whole world who doesn't suit a smokey eye either! So when Lisa our wedding planner asked if I wanted her help organising one, I kindly declined. I know it's going to be tricky finding the right products to suit the humidity, but I also think if there's one place in the world I'll be able to get this, its right here in Melbourne.
With that in mind, I have been testing and experimenting with different looks. I found this great tutorial from a gorgeous Aussie makeup artist, Chloe. She's such a down-to-earth girl, and I subscribe to her vids on YouTube as she has a great, simplified style and good eye for detail.
I'm currently liking this look the best
A few more makeup looks I'm liking and wanting to test out. Lily Aldridge can do no wrong in my eyes. My current hair and makeup crush
In light of my new 'do, I am convinced that I want to wear my hair down with big soft curls a-la Hilary Swank. I usually wear my hair down most days, and am not one to try something new on my wedding day.
While I'm not sure what I'll wear in my hair, I know that it definately won't be a veil. I've never understood their function, considering the tradition and symbolism is so outdated! Besides, I think a veil undermines the casual nature of a beach wedding. Anyway while I will be bypassing the veil, I want to wear fresh flowers in my hair. Not sure if I want just one big flower like this beautiful bride (whose hair styling looks amazing BTW)
Or if I want several smaller flowers weaved around in a headband style
