I showed you the pictures from the wedding I did 2 weeks ago earlier, so here are the pictures from the wedding I did just a week ago.  I have a few more pictures for you and I actually have more specific product names and colors.   It was interesting to see how the makeup held up since the weather was H-O-T in the Bay Area this weekend.  The church where the ceremony was held was air conditioned, but standing outside in the heat for any length of time would certainly cause the makeup to melt off!

First up is the Maid of Honor, the bride's sister Denise.

Before

I start the application process.

Applying false lashes

The eyelashes really made Denise's eyes pop.

Bah.  I realize now that I didn't take a direct "after" picture of Denise's makeup.  This was taken at the end of the evening though, so you can see that her makeup held up well!

Here's what I used:
Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC Eyeshadow in Shrrom: For the grays, I used this 4 pan Stila compact's light gray color (I don't have a name for it) and the dark gray is the dark gray in Lancome's 4Romance palette.  Liner is Estee Lauder DoubleWear in Graphite
Face: Prepped face with Exuviance Matte Perfection, Exuviance Skin Caring Foundation, Make Up For Ever HD Powder, Nars Blush/Bronzer in Orgasm/Laguna
Lips: Oops...forgot this one.  I think it's a Bobbi Brown lipstick I got for free somewhere.

I think that if I had a choice, Italy would be the first European country I'd choose to visit.  There are other places I want to see for sure, but there's something about Italy that is calling my name.  Okay it's probably more the food than anything (pasta is my friend!), but Chanel has decided that their Fall 2009 makeup would be inspired by the city of Venice.  I have images of lovely gondolas and canals in my head; someone who's been there can tell me if these colors are reminiscent of Venice.  I have previously stated that as much as I love Chanel stuff; the price point is pretty high.  It's a sad thing too, because I'm quite intrigued by a couple of items in this collection.  But the job market is still "in transition".  Bah!  My one thought would be that this is cheaper than actually going to Venice.

Eye Gloss: Lumnious Cream Quadra Eyeshadow.  If I had $65 for one product, this would be it.  The consistency of these shadows is just so unique!  It's very much like lip gloss, but it's for the eyes.  It's a good thing these colors are not pink or red, otherwise I'm fairly certain a lot of people would use it on the lips.  But seriously, I'd be interested in seeing how this wears on everyday people.  I've seen some other blogs and it appears to be a good layering tool, which I can see being true.

This is the other item I covet: Tweed Sienna blush.  At $45 for a blush though, it's not something I would be purchasing though, so I'll just look at the pretty effect it creates.  I think the blush would be great for a lot of people; it looks like you'll get a nice pink and some bronzer.

Two nail polishes.  Pretty, but meh.  Intermezzo is more interesting since it's a pearly white and I can honestly say I don't have a white nail polish.
