Subtle Wedding Makeup

November 27, 2016
[button link=”http://bit.ly/disclosurepolicyhh” target=”_blank” color=”D”  align=”right”]This post has been sponsored by COVERGIRL. The opinions expressed in this post are my own.[/button]  

Weddings are the ultimate beauty moment. I can remember everything from my wedding day from what I had for breakfast right up until the moment my head hit the pillow when it was all over. My makeup is something that was really important to me on that day. I wanted a subtle look that would last the entire day and wouldn’t wear off during our vows or while we were cutting the cake. As my best friend prepares to walk down the aisle, I feel like I’m reliving my ultimate beauty moment while preparing for her wedding. I want those same things in my makeup look for her big day, something subtle but long-lasting. Makeup that will compliment my skin and work to cover up my problem areas. I decided to go with a subtle wedding makeup look for my best friend’s wedding and I’m reaching for all COVERGIRL products to do it.

Subtle Wedding Makeup with Covergirl

I want this makeup look to be subtle and complimentary to my dress as well as last throughout the entire day and night. In order to accomplish this, a great foundation routine is key. I’m going to walk you through the steps to ensure you can get a beautiful, subtle, wedding makeup look.

Subtle Wedding Makeup with Covergirl

I started with the COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless Anti-Aging Foundation Primer. This primer will work for all skin tones, which is one of my favorite things about it. It preps skin for a smooth and flawless foundation application. It’s a lightweight, creamy formula that applies clear. The first step is to apply this, I used my fingertips, to apply this all over my face.

The primer contains an amino-peptide complex known to improve skin’s texture and glycerin that hydrates to help firm skin’s appearance giving you the perfect canvas to start with for your makeup look.

For foundation, I’m using both the COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless Instant Wrinkle Defying Foundation Cream & COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Liquid Foundation. I started with the cream in my t-zone. I applied it with the makeup sponge provided and covered up my under eyes and redness. The COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless Instant Wrinkle Defying Foundation Cream is the #1 anti-aging foundation which covers fine lines and veils wrinkles by floating over them, rather than settling in and accentuating them. The Olay serum combines ingredients like vitamins, skin conditioners and antioxidants that leave your skin feeling fabulous while helping to improve your skin’s texture as you wear it.  I really liked how lightweight this was and how it feels on my skin.

For the rest of my face, I used a cosmetic sponge to apply COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Liquid Foundation. This foundation instantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles, firms skin and improves tone. It really evened out my skin tone and gave me a flawless finish. It’s medium to high coverage that optically blurs areas of contrast, such as texture or tone, while diffusing light. This is something I was really impressed with and knew would photograph well which is important in wedding photos. The soft focus effect it gives to your skin makes it look as though you’re lit from within.

I finished off this look with a few other COVERGIRL products, an eyeshadow quad in Blooming Blushes, lined my waterline with COVERGIRL Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire, and applied my COVERGIRL Clump Crusher mascara.  I added a bit of COVERGIRL Cheekers blush and Cheekers bronzer to warm up my face and give this subtle wedding makeup some dimension.

Subtle Wedding Makeup

For me, the results were great. I have been a long-time fan of COVERGIRL and I have known that I could trust in the COVERGIRL brand to help me create my go-to bridesmaid wedding look.

I’m so excited for my best friend and her special day and I can’t wait to show you all photos. Check out the COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless products for your own beauty moment and be sure to let me know what you think!

Instagram post 2192621539170211925_31480883 We’re hitting that time of year where every diet/program/tummy tea/magic pill is going to be shoved down your throat. Your social media feed will be full of it. It’ll be on billboards when you’re driving. You’ll start seeing ads for “Special Pricing for women for just $10/mth” because you know we only really care if women are fat. Must change the women. 🙄 Drink this for weight loss. Cut the carbs. Don’t eat that. Juice cleanse this detox tea that. ⠀

This is your reminder that your size does not define you. Your worth is not held in a number on a scale. The tag in those jeans? It means nothing. You can be healthy at ANY size. BMI is bullshit. Sugar is not a sin. Carbs are fine. Exercise is not a punishment. Food does not have a moral compass. That piece of cake does not equal failure. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
In years past I’ve felt pressured to have a weight loss related goal or resolution when entering the new year. Sometimes that feeling was crippling. And this year? IDGAF. Not one single fuck. This is me 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you have a weight loss goal, that’s cool. I’m just here to remind you that you don’t NEED one to be the best version of you. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you’re looking for non-weight related goals for the new year... here are mine: ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
• Get Stronger ⠀
• Take no shit ⠀
• Sleep more ⠀
• Travel my state ⠀
• Drink more water ⠀
• Try a yoga class ⠀
• Take the train to NYC ⠀
• Go to the beach more⠀
• Lift heavier⠀
• More date nights⠀
• Be still⠀
• Read more books ⠀
• Nurture connections⠀
• Make 2020 my bitch ⠀

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀
