It's my brother's wedding today!
("A wedding on a Monday?" Yes, because they are moving to Milan in mere weeks and they only got engaged in December and the place they wanted to have the wedding was booked out on Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays until 2045.)
Anyway, so I've been asked by his lovely Almost Wife, Babs to do her and her bridesmaids makeup. Which I was very flattered about, and even did a trial last weekend on her. She liked it very much. Even though I realised later I'd forgotten to use concealer. And primer. (Hey, ease up - it was a TRIAL.)
So I've packed a kit of pretty much everything I own for three women with different skin types and shades, as well as a serious range of shadows, (it's a lo-fi affair, to be sure, but I'll make sure there's a place for aqua glitter liner), blushes, lip liners, lipsticks, lip glosses and a host of other things I would never normally own, use or know what to do with. But that's wedding makeup innit.
Oh, and of course, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR WEDDING MAKEUP: No foundation with SPF. Because the sunscreen particles reflect the light of the flash from the camera back and you get a pale, white, washed-out face. Which, unless you are a ghoul, is no fun in 786 photos.

I gotta roll.
There's an unmarried woman out there who needs my blending skills.
I'll post the pics tomorrow.
