MAC Make-up Day with Ally

On Monday I had the great pleasure of going to the MAC store with my amazing bridesmaid/sister-in-law, Allyson. We were fortunate to have a consultation with Holly Dean, a friendly, experienced make-up artist (pictured below).

Holly has experience with weddings and 13 years of experience working with make-up, so that helped a lot. We tried many different options and finally settled on our favorites. Take a peek at our purchases :)

MAC Face: Face and Body Foundation, Sheer/Loose Powder, Paint Pot: Soft Ochre, Powder Blush: Mocha, Shaping Powder: Accentuate

MAC Eyes: Eyeshadow Palette, Eyeshadows: Embark, Samoa Silk, Orb, Shroom

MAC Lips: Lip Pencil: Soar, Lustreglass: Love Nectar

I can't wait to try all of it out, but I will wait patiently to use this make-up for the big day! It sure is coming up fast!

Wedding Color Update!

Our original wedding color scheme was Aqua and Chartreuse, as you can kind of see in the Save the Date. I do love those colors together, but we decided to change the color scheme to Cornflower Blue, Yellow (soft, lemon), and White. Ben and I liked the contrast of these colors. Also, our wedding is an elegant, beachy theme, so the yellow represents sunshine and the blue represents the ocean.
