Makeup Inspiration

In my last post I discussed the Green Eyed Debacle of 2009, as I like to call it. But it got me thinking, what do I really want to look like at our wedding? Aside from "radiant" which doesn't really convey a specific message. So I went stalking around, you guessed it, the Bare Escentuals Facebook page. Despite the fact that it had blown up in my face before.

My only problem is this, I have dark dark (nearly black) brown hair and porcelain white skin, which can make me look like a bit of a vampire if the "subtle blush" I'm looking for isn't quite right. So with that in mind, I give you my wedding makeup inspiration, a collection of photos found here there and everywhere for the pale lady!

Just not sure that I can rock the dark lips on the last bride above. I would love to though, so I will be going through my own "bridal makeup trials." Which will consist of me going crazy at the Bare Escentuals store. So far my crazy spree will include (in addition to my Fair foundation and my Warmth blush)

 BareVitamins Prep Kit, Red Zin Lipcolor, Eye Lining Tutorial

Are you DIYing makeup or at least giving it a trial? Or are you a fan of professional makeup artists?
