makeup

since i am doing a retro/vintagey 1950s type vibe, i would love red lips as a pop of color and drama

but i have heard that you need to wear more makeup than normal in wedding pics so you dont appear too washed out..a valid concern for my irish pale skin

so subtle smokey eyes and sheer ruby lips = perfection!

the lovely leighton meester illustrates the look nicely at left

love the vintage inspired earrings and messy updo!
