Soph - I was so unbelievably excited to see this video post! I got married in September of 2023 but I still adore watching makeup videos. Here are my insights combined with what I learned from my incredible makeup artist: I would do a simple base for your makeup that you know won't act funny underneath make up. It's best (and less risky) to not use too many products underneath your foundation. I used hyaluronic acid acid serum, sunscreen (I used Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen - such a smooth silicone feel and no white cast) and my holy grail primer (Hourglass Vanish Airbrush primer performs beautifully!). For foundation, I would pick the one that wears the best/longest. It is a marathon of photographs, crying, laughing, dancing, sweating...all of the things. Whether you do your eyes first or after your base, I agree that you want to be a bit more heavy handed than usual so it lasts and shows up in photos. Fenty Diamond Bomb (either color) is another option that adds a beautiful sparkle to the eye lids and/or inner corners. I loved your eye look in this video - so many different products added complexity and dimension! My makeup artist advocated for brown liner as well to create a soft glam look. She meticulously applied individual lashes which gave me the full lash look I wanted but miraculously it looked natural. Also individual lashes prevent the risk of your strip lash band popping up. For the water line, you could try applying a lighter liner in the inner third (closer to the nose) and a darker one in the outer two thirds - a happy medium that I often do! With powder, you can't go wrong with Laura Mercier but make sure you have a travel size version that you can access throughout the day. I have oily skin and needed to powder a few times! With blush, since you are a blush lover, I think you can still be blushy, but I would concentrate the Rare Beauty Luminous Blush away from the apples of your cheeks (a tip from a few of my favorites beauty influencers!) and treat it more like a blush topper. For the lips, I think Charlotte Tilbury is a go to - I would experient with a few different colors; she actually just came out with a few new shades of Pillow Talk. I didn't apply gloss on my wedding day for the same reasons you mentioned, but you could experience with a glossy lipstick (CT has a glossy lipstick, Superstar Lips, that I love - it wears so nicely). Last but not least, use WAY more setting spray than you think you need. My makeup artist sprayed my face 5 - 6 times with the Morphe Continuous Setting Spray and my makeup lasted until 2am when I went to bed (I did powder a few times as well as reapply my lipstick). I hope this helps and again, congratulations! You are glowing in this video. Every bride is beautiful because they are lit from within with happiness. :)
