Wedding Makeup Trial

25/04/2018

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen a snap I shared from my wedding makeup trial on Saturday morning. I wanted to write a post about it as I’ve been sharing most of my wedding planning experience and I wanted to give Lauren a HUGE shout out for making me feel and look beautiful.

We’ve already established I’ve never been that great at makeup, but have been getting better over the last few months. With it being my wedding day, I didn’t want to leave the makeup to my untrustworthy skills and every bride deserves a pamper right?!
Lauren and I worked together at Morrisons a few years back and she has always been a huge supporter of my blog (she regularly sends me tips on the best places to buy great brushes 😊) – so when it came to finding someone to do my makeup for the day, I knew I had to ask her!
I sent her a few looks I’d pinned to my wedding makeup board on Pinterest beforehand and attempted to help her know what shade of foundation I wear (I’ve only found one from Kat Von D that’s a proper colour match, so I wasn’t massively helpful other than giving her the shade number 😂). I wanted to have something that wasn’t too full on, but also not like I hadn’t made an effort – it’s one of the biggest days of your life and I didn’t want to roll up to the church looking like I do everyday, so a natural glam was the look I wanted to go for.

I was so excited to see what she’d brought along with her and wasn’t disappointed when she opened her box of wonders!

We set up in my bedroom which has the best lighting in the flat during the mornings (hence why my morning OOTD shots are always in there) and I propped myself on the edge of the bed, away from the mirror so I could have a nice surprise at the end! I was loving having a mooch through her palettes and all of the ones I wanted to add to my collection (I definitely need some Morphe palettes in my life).
We had a great catch up, chatting about our days at Morrisons and how she’d get told off about her makeup on the checkouts (she’s always been great at it!) as she swatched, dusted and got to work.

I was OVER THE MOON with the final look; I’m going to be wearing some lashes on the day, but my L’Oréal Paradise mascara (100% recommend!) finished off the look perfectly!
I managed to make a mental note of most of the products she used and have listed them below (with links of course!) if you wanted to know what I’m wearing;

Anastasia Beverley Hills DipBrow Pomade

Morphe 35P 35 Colour Plum Palette

Thank you to Lauren from Lauren Lucy Beauty for making me feel so comfortable about how I’m going to look on our big day – and hopefully stop the makeup related wedding nightmares I’ve been having 😂
Make sure to check her out on Instagram and Facebook – she’s bloody amazing and I’d recommend her to follow for some amazing makeup inspiration or if you’re local in North Hertfordshire for a lovely makeover experience!

Stay tuned for some more wedding related content – it’s about a month away now so it was inevitable 😉

So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
