I am getting married in 3 weeks and am doing my own makeup. I've been on the hunt for a great foundation but haven't found anything. I'm looking for something that will actually last all day & cover all my red spots & uneven skin tone. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!!!! Thanks!
Estée Lauder 18 hour wear light. They will help you find the perfect shade. It's a full coverage but doesn't look cakey an blends well. I also never had trouble with it "melting", it's what I always wore to proms etc..which is definitely something you don't want for your wedding day!!
I did makeup for two friend's weddings. I used MAC pro long wear and set with MUFE HD powder. For primer I used smashbox, and concealer was Benefit Boi-oing. Both brides faces lasted all day. One didn't even have much of a smudge after the groom mashed cake in her face ;-)
Drat! I forgot the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray! Use setting spray!!! I'd recommend investing in a full size bottle because it's awesome, but sephora also sells a trial size if you just want to get it for your wedding.
I used MUFE HD with a primer and Too Faced transclucent powder to set it. My ceremony was outdoors in June, and my makeup outlast the heat, sweat, food, constant hugs, and the dancing.
