Without many brown-eyed, strawberry-blonde-haired celebrities to look to for makeup inspiration, I decided to expand my search a bit by honing in on my girl crushes. These women are celebrities whose style I think is a decent parallel to my own, and whose natural coloring isn’t so wildly different from my own to be an insurmountable issue. I plopped down in front of my good friend Google images and started typing in random celebrity names and the phrase “red carpet” to get some good glam-makeup photos. Here are some of my favorite looks on my favorite celebrities:

Looking at this compilation, it’s pretty clear that I like a relatively natural look. Nothing crazy like a big smoky eye or a crazy red lip. I love a heavy upper lash line; to me, it’s the perfect blend of glam and natural. Then, to complement those statement eyes, just some nice dewy, peachy cheeks and a soft, pink lip. Sure, I ended up completely discarding the whole idea of looking for stars with similar coloring to mine; nevertheless, I think my plan-B strategy helped me to define what I’m looking for in my makeup look for W-Day.
What’s the most important part of your W-Day makeup? And, on a sillier note, who are your Hollywood girl crushes?
I totally think that Julie Bowen has similar coloring to you, and her eyes look brown in that picture at least.
Love the natural look too!
Natural is what I am going for too. Soft pink lips and cheeks and a subtle eye with maybe some faux lashes to make it a little dramatic. I can’t stand dark/bright lipstick on me.
I love the Reese Witherspoon look! That is make-up perfection.
I aboslutely want natural make up for my wedding day. (Although, I wouldn’t mind a bit heavier makeup for my eyes!!) As for my girl crushes, I LOVE Diana Agron and Reese Witherspoon!!
My girl crush is definitely Tina Fey, but I’m loving Diana Agron’s makeup in that picture.
I love those looks, too! There aren’t a lot of celebrities whose color is similar to mine that I could think of, but I tried to show my MUA those pictures. Instead, I looked like Grimace. 
But I’m sure you won’t! 
OMG Thank you for that Kristen Bell picture! I’ve been trying to find a hair-spiration picture and that’s it!! Thanks!
I love it. I think that you did an awesome job defining your look.
I loved the second to last picture. But I have no idea who that is…And it’s pretty much the hair color I am aiming for with all my color correction job, that is not quite finished.
Also, why Reese Witherspoon is wearing my high school choir dress? :))
@Fegele: hahah… I wore that dress to my 9th grade formal! Now we can both say we’ve worn an Oscars gown
@Kcoleybear: Thanks!
@Lauren: I have had the photo bookmarked for I don’t know how long! Glad it helped you out!
@Mrs. Spaniel: oy, that sounds… colorful
@Miss Pony: I never think of Tina Fey as a style icon, but at every red carpet, she still wows me. I think I need to give her more credit.
@lisamarieloves: @Gingersnap: I’m a firm believer that Reese can do no wrong.
@xtatic1: I am planning to do faux lashes too… my MUA that I used for the consultation suggested Ardell babies, fyi!
@helenberrycrunch: great!
@kate02121: I can’t imagine myself departing from the natural look… glad you like it, too!
I always do up my eyes big and leave everything else pretty natural. I’m sure I’ll do the same for w-day.

Mrs. Snow Cone, Pittsburgh/Johnstown, PA Age and Occupation: 23, Public Health Graduate Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Engineer Engagement Date: April 9, 2010 Wedding Date: August 2011 Venue: OMOS Church ceremony/Sunnehanna Country Club reception About Me: I’m one of the lucky ones---I met my future husband at the ripe old age of 13, started dating him as a mature woman of 15, and have been enjoying the ride ever since. Here we are, 8 years later, living in Pittsburgh, planning a "homestination" wedding in the place our school romance began---Johnstown, PA. I thrive on talking a mile a minute, eating my weight in chocolate, and internet shopping. I love a lengthy to-do list almost as much as I love a healthy amount of chaos in my life. Mr. Snow Cone and I watch countless episodes of Friends and The West Wing on repeat, root for rival college sports teams, and make each other laugh each and every day. We’re putting together a small-town wedding with a big personality and a classically modern (or modernly classic?) look for 250 of our closest family and friends. It’s been 8+ years in the making, and sometimes I still can’t believe I’m finally getting to marry my high school sweetheart!
