I’ve been doing this for about half of my life—why is figuring out how I’d like my makeup for the wedding so difficult?

I’ve never been the type that can wake up in the morning and not look a little scary. Seriously. You know how in hospitals they take pictures of newborns? Mine was so bad that to this day even I have not seen it. Yikes! My everyday look uses a handful of products and is reasonably dramatic. To do much more might be a little too much. I started looking for things in the opposite direction. I did an online search for natural makeup, and what came back was pretty but wasn’t what I would call natural. In the hope that it isn’t me with the skewed idea of natural-looking makeup, I put together a little how to. It’s pretty simple if you have no idea where to start, or it might be a good base if you want to build on it. I think this might be what I do for the rehearsal and the days leading up to the wedding so my makeup on the actual day seems that much more special.

We’re about to get up close and personal if you watch the video. Please take it easy on me—this is my film debut, and I’m pretty camera shy! Hopefully this is helpful to someone!
