Wedding Blog
For the wedding, I’m not exactly branching out in the makeup department. I’ve never tried any bold looks, with the exception of the extreme makeovers my friends and I would give each other as kids. I’m planning to stick with what I know and go for subtlety. For soft, natural makeup ideas, I turned to my favorite Korean actress!
Soft, pink perfection:
Isn’t she gorgeous? I have a total girl-crush on her. I love seeing how Asian girls wear their hair and makeup, even if our faces are totally different. It just helps to see how they make the most of their skin tones and features! I have full lips and full cheeks, like Song Hye-kyo, so I like seeing what works for her. This next look is glow-y and sweet, with just a touch of color on the lips:
And I definitely need some eyelash enhancements. I had glue-on lashes during our engagement photos, but they were completely unnoticeable! That’s my fault for choosing the shortest lash option available. 
I would try something a little bolder but with very little eye makeup, like this:
And for you bolder brides, here are a few of Song Hye-kyo’s more daring makeup looks!

Heehee, I just showed these to Mr. Parfait, and he was like, “What is daring about these?” I guess I’m just a makeup wimp—I think that eyeshadow is really daring! Lipstick, too! They are the unused mysteries of my makeup bag.
Who do you look to for makeup inspiration?

It’s soooo hard to find Asian makeup inspiration! Thanks for these great ones!
The toughest part is the fact that most makeup artists are OBSESSED with making me have “double eyelids”…. so I walk away looking like a geisha or something. Sighhhhh.
loooove these pictures though!
Miss Parfait - thanks for this post! I haven’t even thought about looking at inspiration pics like these, but the ones you posted are a good jumping off point for me! My fave is the red lipstick, second from the bottom.
Miss Ramen - oh nooo. That’s horrible. 
I love the soft look too, the darker red lipstick is def daring! I actually dont wear any makeup except for eyeliner…no lipstick, no eye shadow, no blush or foundation, nada! So for the wedding Im just going to do a soft look with the eyes and lips too! Great inspiration photos. 
Beautiful Inspiration!!! I am a bit afraid of makeup too. Everyone kept telling me that you need to wear a little more makeup to photograph well, which made me nervous! I did lay on the lipstick extra, and it did turn out really well- in person and in film!
Those are gorgeous photos! Are you sure that’s not you in the pics? You look just like her!
She is absolutely beautiful! I definitely love your first three for bridal looks! They’re all gorgeous!
These are great inspiration photos! I love them all!
thanks for sharing! love the eyelashes. i’m still trying to decide whether to spend on extensions!
Aaack! i heart her!
My roomies and I used to skip afternoon classes in college to watch Full House.
We were such dorks. 
Love the inspiration photos!
I agree with Miss Slice….the actress looks exactly like you…beautiful =)
What beautiful inspiration photos (and women!) I haven’t really thought about my makeup yet…
Those are beautiful! I’m actually going to save a few of those for my own use. :p Even though I’m not Asian, I have Asian eyes. (Combination of lots of Native American blood [the groups via Russia] and Eastern European has spawned these eyes for me). I have the almond eyes and the (essentially) no-fold business, so these photos are hella helpful.
Wow, she is beautiful! I like your inspiration. Maybe you should go for a LITTLE something crazy on your wedding day–either eyes or lips. At least try it out first?
@Mrs. Taffy: I’m glad to know it worked out for you! I’m always wiping off the blush and lipstick after a makeover…I will resist on the wedding day!
@Miss Slice & @go2bee: Thank you! What a compliment. : )
@pinaybride: Omgosh, that is my favorite show ever!
I love those inspiration photos–Song Hye-kyo is beautiful!
Great inspiration! I like the glowy/soft look the best, I think.
Love it! Are you going to have a trial session with a makeup artist or are you doing the makeup yourself? I agree with mouse and think you should play with some of the bolder looks just to see how you like them!
From day to day, I’m a natural make-up kind of gal… but man I love to go glam with some thick eyeliner, nude lips… or mile high lashes with lip stain when I go to a special event or out.
Girls should play it up a little on their wedding day- it’s too much fun.
she’s gorgeous—you’re using some fabulous inspiration. I love the brighter lips…it’s a great pop of color!
Great inspiration! I love her clothes in the more adventurous makeup.
the Laniege and the last photo is purtees. i think you’re prettier than SHG. heh. but these are really great inspiration photos. g’luck!
It is tough finding inspiration . . . I’ve been hunting for someone with experience with Asian brides! Great job on finding the photos!
@Mrs. Mouse: & Miss Snow: Heehee, I look so weird with bold makeup. But I might take your advice and try some out before the wedding!
@Heavnzbrat: Girl, you crazy! : ) Thank you!
[...] that I have some ideas for my wedding day makeup, it’s time to move on to the hair! Here’s what I have to work [...]
Wow, these photos and women are absolutely GORGEOUS! 4th down is my favorite- she’s stunning!
Wow she is beautiful. I LOVE the 3rd look…soft, feminine and just enough drama. It’s all in the eyes!
