Here Comes the Canadian Bride!
Mel and Mel Makeup
I had my makeup trial in late July.
Melody Morelos will be doing my makeup and hair for my wedding day. She also did my makeup for our Engagement photos.
She uses professional industry makeup as well as M·A·C, Make-up Art Cosmetics which is a Canadian company founded in 1985 in Toronto, Canada. M·A·C is now internationally recognized for their aray of colours, quality, deep pigmentation in their makeup, and numerous high-profile professional and celebrity endorsements. The company is now owned by Estée lauder. Here is a link to their Bridal cosmetics showcase: http://www.maccosmetics.com/bridal/index.tmpl .
Melody is a young, vivacious and super gorgeous stylist. I felt instantly at ease with her. She came highly recommended by my co-worker and friend, Sara. One of her sisters and another makeup artist will be assisting her on the wedding day as there are 6 in the wedding party needing to be made up. Here are some photos of the trial makeup:
The first photo is from my camera phone taken in my bathroom under fluorescent lighting. The images with Melody are taken under natural lighting. I really like the dramatic eye Melody gave me. She used individual eyelashes to enhance my sparse ones.
We were not using my own foundation so I found my face looking darker than my chest area. The darker base seems to make me look less fresh and young. I usually use M·A·C StudioFix C4 or StudioFix Fluid NC40 for my medium-fair Filipina complexion. This is why I like M·A·C so much. It took me years to find the perfect colour match for my skintone!
For the wedding day, I will need to have my own lipstick underneath some gloss. Melody will be setting me up with extra makeup for the touch-ups for during the day. Any suggestions on what brand and colour of lipstick to select?
I usually wear a neutral colour to work so I would like something with more oomph. I am thinking of going with a plummy pink (mauve?) for a softer, fresher look. What colour lipstick or lipgloss did you use for your wedding day?
