getting married and need help please

Hello all, 

I am getting married October 12-2024. My wonderful nieces are going to be doing mine (and two of my bridesmaids) make up. They are super talented and I am super glad that they have accepted the job. However, for the past 6 months I have been trying all kinds of different techniques and products and nothing has come close to the desired look that I would like. I have combination skin and naturally glow within a few hours. I am turning 40 and have fine lines. I have mastered my skin care but my makeup is not giving what I want. I have to admit I have been using pharmacy products. Foundation ends up pilling or ending up in fine lines, like my concealer which I cannot find anything that works. I need your help. I want my makeup to last all day and night. I need your help please. 

Re: getting married and need help please

I highly recommend the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Longwear Foundation. It is a tried and true long wear foundation that has a nice finish and will also help stop any natural oiliness you may have throughout the day. I actually wore it at my wedding, which was outside, and it looked great for me! My mom, who has more dry and mature skin than I do, has also loved this foundation for a long time because it doesn’t settle in her fine lines. To help extend the life of your foundation, the MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide 1.52 / 45 mL is a primer that just keeps a great hold on your makeup!

@Lybyana The Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation is nice if you haven’t tried it already.

And some good concealers are the DIOR Dior Forever Skin Correct Full-Coverage Concealer , NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer with Medium Coverage , or the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica 04 ... . You should probably go in store so you can swatch them for yourself and determine which one you’d prefer.
Also maybe get the ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Preserve the Serve Luminous Setting Spray 4 oz/ 118 mL , this stuff will have your makeup stuck to your face. 

If you haven’t tried this already, apply your foundation and concealer on the back of your hand first so you can control the amount of product you’re using; rather than applying straight to your face. This could help reduce the chance of you using too much and your makeup caking up. 

Also, congratulations!

@Lybyana Congratulations! Do you have a look in mind?

Re: getting married and need help please

I have light skin, bright, deep red hair and eyebrows (that I dye) I would love to have a flawless skin, and simply enhansing my features ( blue eyes) and fullish lips. I love blush.
