Make up and nails for freckly blue eyed blonde going to a wedding tomorrow?

5 replies

My lovely friends are getting married tomorrow, fairly casual affair, church service, afternoon reception tea.

My dress is last year's Boden navy with purple leaf print maxi with a navy cardi/shrug thing. V dull, I know but no money for new outfit at the moment. Heels or flats depending on weather and my heel wearing confidence on the day.

My question is what colour make up and nails should I go for? I am fair-skinned, freckly, prone to a red face, hair was once naturally fair, now mid-brown highlighted with fairer bits. I usually wear v neutral make up and I just can't 'see' in my head a picture of what shades would go. help Smile

Purple, plum or blue eyeshadow ( sparing) depending on which suits similar nail varnish to match one of the clothing colors. Alternatively most blondes look good with silver.

Purple, plum, blue, silver, got it.

Lips?

if your prone to a red face, use a primer first before any other make up. i find for me (a freckly red-head) it stops my ace looking so red and gives me a good complexion. they are quite expensive but definitely worth it! i use a loreal one.
i'd go for a colour eye shadow to match the dress and natural colour lip gloss.

Lips as natural as possible, I would think pale pink

Thank you ladies, you are a big help.

Mumofbumblebea - have been lurking on your bridesmaid dress thread. You have conducted yourself with great dignity in the face of great indignity!
