For my desi girls out there, these colors would look wonderful on tan skin.  Here it is…

Urban-Decay-680x680You can get this palette from Ulta or Sephora or even online at urbandecay.com.  I truly love Urban Decay products because first of all they do not test on animals! yay! Also, their colors are very potent!  A little goes a long way.  I really like their eyeshadows more than MAC sometimes.  I personally feel it has a lot more pigmentation than MAC and the colors that Urban Decay offer are different from the MAC collection.  Keep watching for a video on a look from this palette!

Now that you have your dress all ready and picked out the perfect shoes to match its time to accessorize!! One of the most important accessories is your makeup!

(These products listed below are suggestions, you can always find similar colors/products from different brands, I just like the ones below because I have personally tested them.)

Start off with beautiful soft skin – use a natural moisturizer like Shea butter. This will help heal your rough dry skin and also not cause any irritation to your skin.  Also Shea butter will not clog your pores.

Once your skin is prepped. You can put on your foundation, I would recommend that you mix your foundation with very small amount of “Tan”pigment from MAC.  Trust me – it will make your skin glow like you just came back from the Caribbean!!

Once you have your foundation in place.  Follow up with a nice soft eye and long think lashes!  Use a shadow that is a nice grey shimmery shade that will complement your pink lips.  Something like this (Bobbi Brown “Mica”)….

Follow up with highlighting your cheeks with the Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick and on the top of your cheeks and apply NARS “Orgasm” blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Make you lips kissable by applying one of my newest favorite lip products L’Occitane Rose Petal Lipgloss

Finish off your look with lots of Mascara and some black khol liner inside the eyes to create a sultry sexy look.

Wonderful! All ready to go and enjoy this special day!
