DIY make up??

Looks very natural! That's what I'm going for as well. I don't wear makeup.

I like the natural look girlie it looks good girlie i think you should do it yourself thats my opinion

I like the natural look. It looks very subtle. Not overly done at all. You did a great job!

i love the natural look sweetie, you'll look great either way (weather you do it or someone else does it) natural is beautiful baybay lol ;)

I really like the more natural look! You look beautiful in both, however! So excited for you!!!!

Thanks girls!!! I know you have to wear more for photos, but I just don't want to look like a clown, ya know? LOL. Thanks for all your input!!! :)

I´m not going to do my own make up because I will be so nervous on the day of my wedding that everything will go wrong!  

Why don't you try false eyelashes?

I am doing my own makeup as well- I have been doing it myself forever, so why pay someone to do what I can do?? :))) I think your makeup looks GREAT! And if you feel comfortable with it, then that's what you should do!

It looks gorgeous the way it is! I don't think you need anymore blush! It looks perfect the way it is! I know its hard to tell because you want to make sure you have enough for the pictures but if your not used to wearing make-up to being with then in pictures this will be enough. You still look very natural but its just enough to enhance everything! :) Are those false eyelashes? They look great!

Thank you so much girls. That's kind of what I'm thinking, why pay for something I may not like, and can do myself? Mallory, thanks sweetie, those are my real eyelashes, crazy long, huh? But that's also why I am not going to do fake ones, my real ones should be long enough. Thank you all again!!! :)

I'm exactly the same. I don't wear makeup and when I do, it's very little, just for a natural look. However, I knew I'd be a crazy person running around on the big day (since it was a DIY wedding) and I would be too frazzled to do the make-up myself. So I hired someone to do come to the church and apply it.
We did a trial run a few months earlier and Mr. C. stated that he was not pleased with the amount of make-up I had on, so we scaled things waaay back - lol.
Overall, I'm pleased with the make-up for the day and that I didn't do it myself because there was no way I could have concentrated and applied it correctly. Plus, it was nice to have someone pamper me while I sat and calmed down before the big moment arrived. It was crazy how so much was going on around me and I was sitting there cool, calm and collected. And at that moment I realized that we going to get married and nothing else mattered. It also made for some really nice photo moments too.  Added bonus, my make-up artist stayed for the ceremony and touched me up before the formal photos.
So enough of my rambling. Maybe you should take your photos in to the make-up artist and see if they can recreate what you did - You look beautiful!

You did a beautiful jobber!  Looks very nice and elegant!
