Let’s Makeup… My Face

Let’s Makeup… My Face

Hi, my name is Miss French Bulldog, I have HORRIBLE skin and I cannot believe I am about to post this on the internet for the world to see. I must really love you readers! (Aww)

This past Sunday I drove down to San Diego for my makeup trial with Ashley Lowe of AC Makeup. Ashley was recommended to me by Mr Frenchie’s best man’s wife, Lindsay (did you get all that?). Lindsay didn’t use Ashley for her wedding, but she had heard wonderful things about her from her friends on Bridal Insider. Plus, Lindsay wanted to keep me far away from her makeup artist because, well, that was a nightmare. Okay, enough stalling, here is everyday Miss French Bulldog.

Lemme just point out the lovely zit on the corner of my mouth and I’ll stop with the self deprecation. See it? Okay, I’m done.

One of the reasons Ashley is to highly recommended is because she uses an airbrush.

Ahh, it was so relaxing; it was like a cool breeze blowing across my face. Ashley told me she always does the bride last because the airbrushing is really calming and can help de-stress a stressed out bride. I’m not planning on being a stressed out bride, I’m hoping channel my inner Tiramisu, but just in case, this will surely help out.

I was such a bad bride and forgot to bring inspiration pictures… Oops. So, I told Ashley I wanted to look natural/not too made up, and I wanted the “Hollywood Eye”. After chatting for about an hour, I was transformed into this lovely creature.

Can you tell I don’t normally take pictures of myself? Where did my chin go?

Unlike the makeup I had done for our engagement photos, the airbrushed makeup felt very light; in fact, I could hardly tell I had makeup on. We also opted for individual eyelash extensions, instead of the completely eyelid length ones I bought for my e-pics.

I think the individual ones look more natural, don’t you?

Here is a list of the colors she used:

Eyes

Primer - Paula Dorff
Eyelid - Retrospect (MAC)
Crease - Wedge (MAC)
Highlight - Vanilla/Phloof (MAC)
Liner - Blacktrack (MAC)

Face

Cheeks - Gingerly/Blushbaby (MAC)

Lips

Lipstick - Viva Glam 5 (MAC)
Lip Liner - Whirl (MAC)

So Hive, what do you think? Would you change anything?

You look beautiful! Absolutely flawless! And I’m loving the individual lashes.

And you so do not have horrible skin. We all get pimples once in a while. No biggie and no need for self-deprecation.

Beautiful… I would maybe ask her to put some highlight cream on your cheek bones. Awesome for pictures.
The one I use daily is High Beam from Benefit :

You see the effect well on this photo:

Yup, I’m a fan of individual lashes as well — although my pro had to use “shorties” on my tiny lashes!

it looks great, but I don’t think it is dark enough. It’s almost too natural. I think you need more blush and something more on the eyes. Maybe more on the lips too.

Looks so great, and I am a fan of the individual lashes too. Ashley did my makeup for my wedding and I just loved her. She was definitely on of my favorite vendors!
