As I’ve mentioned before, I’m planning on DIYing my makeup for the big day since we are getting married hours away from a metropolitan area and have a petite budget. Lo, of Lo and Co, was kind enough to pass along some great tips for me which I talked about here. I wasn’t really feeling the eyeliner on the bottom lashes, so I tried again. I guess one benefit of doing your own makeup is that you can practice!!
So, this was try #1:
And this is try #2:
Better?
Which eye makeup do you like better?

Share this post: Try #2…
I”m not a fan of liner on the bottom lid. I love love love 2nd trial. It’s really nice and fresh and brings out your natural beauty nicely.
#2! Gosh, you have such gorgeous eyes! And you totally look like you could be in a makeup ad. 
Love number 2. For the slightest bit more intensity, you may try lining the inner corner or the bottom lids. Don’t go all the way around (or nearly all) a la #1. Connecting the liner near the top lashline this way will give you a little more oomph.
I actually meant the outer corner of the bottom lids. Sorry!
They are both beautiful, but I think the shine from the flash on your forehead in #1 is detracting from #1. If you could put more powder in your “t-zone” and make that ridge under your eyebrow shiny and pop. I think #1 would look better and more subtle in person and #2 would look better on camera.
Hhhmm..I think number 2 as well. It brings out your pretty eyes more.
Oh, #2 much better — they both look great, but I think the “less is more” approach allows your eyes to really pop!
I like the cheeks and lips in #2! very pretty - and you just can’t make your eyes look bad! they’re gorgeous no matter what you do!
Oh #2 is AWESOME. will you come do my makeup please?
I like #2 I did my own make up and if I may would like to suggest that you do a practice with white on. I’m assuming your dress is white/ivory? You’d be amazed how much difference it can make to the colouring in your face!
I think you look great, you have a very pretty face and will be a B.E.A. Utiful bride!
Yeah, #2 is brighter and more bridal in my opinion. You are GAWGEOUS!
Your eyes are amazing. You are very beautiful. I agree # 2!
I have to agree with everyone else, #2
P.S. I really like your lamp.
#2 definitely! your eyes look great!
2 is Perfect! Totally highlights your features without being overdone. You are so pretty!
@All - Thanks Ladies!! (and gent)
@RyanT: Thanks for the tip!!
@Miss Mary Jane: Love to
@Miss French Bulldog: Thanks! It’s kind of Jetson-y, my mom bought it for me at an estate sale. and FYI, I totally look at people’s apartments in pictures too -
you look gorgeous! trial #2 is a success. btw…you have beautiful eyes!
I love #2. Are your lips lighter in #2 as well? I think the color goes much better with the rest of your coloring.
I am loving #2! You have such beautiful bright eyes and in that trial they really POP!
Definitely #2. I think eyeliner on the bottom ages any woman.
#2 here as well. Your eyes pop more. Your eyes are gorgeous!
#2 and you have amazing curly hair!
#2. You look gorgeous! Can you share your secrets?!
I love #2. You did such a great job! I had two makeup trials and had the same kind of progression that you did, but with my stylist; I cut out the under-eye liner and pumped up my upper lashes on the 2nd run, and it was just such a younger, fresher look.
#2 is awesome–great job! holy cow your eyes are the bomb!
@pvaulter718: Nope! Same color!!
@lala: Wish I had some :). I been trying to remember to wash my face before I go to bed, but thats about it!
The bottom. The top feels like business-woman while the bottom feels young and fresh.
Love trial #2.. so much more romatic looking and very classy.. beautiful!
Trial #2 for sure! You just glow and it looks more natural
I always loved bottom eyeliner, but then I started to look at pictures of myself, and it really does take away from the rest of the face. So now, I line the outer 1/3 of the lower lash and smudge it towards the inner corner. I also don’t use very black liner anymore…I go for browns and greys now.
#2!!!!!!
#2, hottie!! I had the same revelation about bottom lash eyeliner when doing my makeup trial as well! It was hard for me to quit, but I am now used to it & never wear it anymore!
#2! You have gorgeous eyes and #2 makes them really stand out. =)
I love #2 as well.
Much more natural looking. Really sets off your features nicely.
#2! It’s so much more soft and bridal-y looking than the first. Plus, it shows of your beautiful eyes better.
definitely #2, but with the lip color from #1. and a bit more blush on the apples of your cheeks. perfect!
I’ll add my vote too, even though you’ve heard it down the line— #2. Looks so fresh and doesn’t overdo your pretty eyes. You also did a second try because you didn’t like the bottom liner, so skip it!
WOW woman you look awesome in #2!! I hope my DIY makeup turns out as good as yours
I prefer two. It looks more natural than 1.
TWO! yay
#2 for sure!
I like #2. Your skin looks amazing and I love your eye makeup in the 2nd pic. Definately go for this one!
By the way, are you using concealer beneath your eyes at all? If so, please give tips, I’m horrible at under-eye concealer and I so need it.
@xLailax: I think getting the correct color is a BIG step, I went to a bobbi brown counter and purchased their ‘corrector’…it honesetly took about 30 minutes for them to find the best/correct shade for me (they were awesome and very helpful) and they showed me how to apply it etc. I just use my pinky and tap it into the corrector and then tap along my undereye area until it’s blended, then set it with a powder. It makes a HUGE difference in how my face looks!
I vote for #2 it really makes your eyes pop, and it looks fresh, clean and natural. I love it!
Oh my! You have gorgeous eyes. You look beautiful either way. But #2 is definitely my fav.
Number two! So beautiful, and dressed up yet natrual. Your eyes are amazing.
#2! Wow, your eyes are stunning… without makeup as well I’m sure.

About Me: I don't like nickels or the skin that forms on pudding when it's in the fridge for too long. I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
