One Year Ago...

I married my amazing husband at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas :-D I must confess that most of my glow in these pictures is happiness. Nothing else will make a person feel as beautiful as happiness!  Still, I thought you might be curious about my face-of-the-big-day:

Skin: Josie Maran Protect Daily Sun Protection Argan Oil Infused SPF 40+ (the sun in Las Vegas is serious, and we were married outstide in the Juno Garden)
Base Makeup: Revlon PhotoReady SPF 15 Foundation in 004 Nude, Make Up Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 125 Sand, Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Light Golden, MAC Select Cover-Up in NC20 and NC30 (I had a bad breakout), Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder
Eyes: Too Faced Shadow Insurance, NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Charade ("muted mauve" on the lid, "smokey plum" in the crease), MAC Brule to highlight browbone, a touch of MAC Wedge to deepen the crease (we avoided shimmer because the wedding took place at 11:00am outdoors, and I chose a quite muted, natural look in the hopes it would appear classic), upper and lower lashes lined with Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Brown (still love this), Dior DiorShow Black Out Waterproof Mascara (this clumped BADLY on the day and I had a small nervous breakdown!)
Cheeks: Stila Convertible Color in Gerbera
Lips: MAC Spice Lip Pencil (all the MAC makeup used belonged to my sister who did my makeup; can you believe at this time last year I owned NO MAC?), YSL Gloss Volupte in Sugared Almond

    Congrats on your anniversary! So you got married in Vegas ? =) Your makeup looks wonderful here, and I enjoyed the comment about the Spice lip pencil, hehe. Speaking of MAC wanted to let you know that if you go on MAC's website brush finder, you can select "synthetic" brushes and see all the cruelty free brushes they sell.

    Hi Riya, I kind of did it for myself, too, so I won't forget. I can't remember what I used yesterday but I remember my wedding day makeup :)
