BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Cosmetics Make Up Emergency: Please Help!!

A friend of mine is getting married this weekend, and she has asked me to help her with her make-up. She didn't like the woman she went to, because the makeup was overdone and not her style.

My friend has a long narrow face, her skin is pale, and she has dark brown hair with beautiful big brown eyes. She wants to use neutral colors.

I need help some tips for helping her this weekend. What shades should I go for, and how should I apply it to her eyes so that it shows up more than everyday make-up and looks nice for the wedding, but doesn't make her feel like she's just added 10 layers of stuff to her face?

Please respond...I'm nervous about this much responsibility <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks!

put concealer on her eyelids, works 4 me. it holds the shadow on lomger. if u got time, experiment different looks. what r her best features? use mascara that adds big lashes without tons of layers. have her pick out a look she likes the best. just a thought. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

my friend was to get married and we went to our local bon ton. they had a beauty advisor try different looks. maybe they could help. sorry if i seem rude, its been a long day. best of luck. let me know how u made out. :rolling:

In regards to colours for your friend in order to keep her makeup looking natural, I would suggest shades of taupes, creams, beiges and light browns.

Here are two articles for you. I hope they help!
