Beautiful Makeup: Backstage At Marchesa

Stila Cosmetics supplied the makeup looks for the Marchesa show, and as much as I loved the dresses, the makeup was just as well done. Star makeup artist Talia Shobrook took Marchesa's inspiration of Elizabethan and Spanish style to give models angelic faces. The look is great for your wedding day!

For Skin: Go matte and pale with Stila Sheer Pressed Powder, then use Perfecting Concealer on any trouble spots.

For Eyes: Neutral-toned smoky eyes are accented with super long lashes and dramatic brows. Use Stila Eye Shadow in Chinois for brow bones, and Bouquet and Kamet to the crease of eyelids and bottom lash line. Line your lower, outer rim with Kajal Liner in Smoky Quartz. Go heavy with Major Lash Mascara in brown and apply the same in black to tips for added effect. Fill in brows with Brow Set.

For Cheeks: Flush apples of cheeks with Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain. Blend well for only a hint of color.

For Lips: Go shiny on your kisser to contrast with matte skin. Use Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain again, but place directly on lips and top with SPF Lipstick in Caicos.

Super pretty!

Berry Beautiful

While always gorgeous, Halle Berry has an extra glow now that she is pregnant. Lucky for us, Brides have a glow on their big day, too! Halle's makeup is a great look for an evening wedding. Her smokey eye is just enough without overpowering her natural beauty. When going with a strong eye, go with light color on the lip with a lot of gloss. You may need a slightly darker lip depending on your skin tone, as no matter how much gloss you put on, the camera washes it right out. Talk to your makeup artist and take photos of yourself during your trial run. If doing your own makeup, try a few different shades and keep clicking that camera until the look is best for you.
