hey guys it's Jen and today I wanted to share with you this wedding guests makeup look I
actually recently posted this on my Instagram and so many of you asked for a tutorial and
when I thought about it I was like yeah you know there's actually so many factors to keep in mind
with your makeup when you're going to be going to a wedding from it being long wearing you want
it to be super photogenic and a lot of different kinds of environments a lot of different lighting
conditions you're gonna be having maybe dinner at the end of the night and dancing and you
still want your makeup to look super perfect that entire time so I really hope there are a
lot of little tips in this video that are going to be helpful for you before we get started I
just want to say thank you so much to Sephora for sponsoring this video absolutely love all of your
beautiful luxurious foundations and makeup and we are gonna be using them in this video so if
you want to check out this look then keep watching and let's go ahead and hop right in as always I'm
starting off my eyes using this eyeshadow primer this is the Urban Decay anti-aging primer potion
this is going to help your eyeshadow last the entire evening especially for special occasions
it's very important that your eyeshadow is gonna be more vibrant and keep any of your makeup from
creasing so after that I'm also using a foundation primer this is the benefit Porefessional it's so
good at filling in any fine lines wrinkles pores it also gives the foundation a really smooth
canvas to stay on and it'll look nicer for longer than just putting the foundation straight on your
skin next I'm moving on to foundation and today I'm using the Javan she talked or ever'where which
i've got to say for me personally is the most important step in wedding-guest makeup because
they're going to be a lot of different lighting situations you know you're gonna be photographed
a lot it could be going from the actual ceremony which could be outside to something indoors to
maybe dancing at the end of the day so you want to go with something that is a little
nicer I especially like using some of my really high-end foundations for an occasion like going
to a wedding because I know it's going to give me just a beautiful satin finish and it lasts a
long time plus a lot of them also have really nice ingredients in them which might be good for your
skin this one has SPF 20 and eye so if it is an outdoor wedding you're already protected so this
is actually one that just launched recently at Sephora and if you're interested in any of the
products I'm talking about as always I have links for all of the products in the description box
down below so I like to focus this mainly on the center of my face and then blend outward
and that's going to give you more of a natural finish and I'm also using a wet Beauty Blender
sponge to do this is for that airbrushed look next I'm moving on to concealer and I'm using
joues essential high coverage liquid concealer so I'm doing kind of like a triangle shape under the
eyes with more of the point a little bit closer to your nose like this I'm also going to go down
the center of my nose with the line right here dot at the tip I'm blending this all the way out to my
temple area next I'm going to set that with a bit of powder I'm using the Laura Mercier translucent
powder right here especially for the under eye area you're going to want to set this pretty
quickly after you apply it just to make sure it doesn't crease instead of like sweeping it which
can move around that makeup you can just roll the bristles and that'll keep all of that coverage
in place next I think this is maybe one of my favorite steps is contouring i'm using the marc
jacobs omega' bronzer i'm gonna start over here by the ears and i'm just gonna tap this so it makes
a gradient of shadow right here to my lip it's darkest here and goes lighter as it goes forward
and then I'm also going to bring this around my hairline if you have ever had those cases where
your foundation wasn't perfectly blended into your hair and you can see it in photos it'll
kind of blend all of that in and keep that from happening next I want to move on to the eyes I
tend to not go for bright colors when I'm being a wedding guest just because I don't want to take
too much attention away from the bride or other people and things going on that are more important
than me just being there to support someone else so I'm gonna go with the make Reloaded palette
from Urban Decay this is angel fire it here to give it a little extra pop I'm gonna take my
fingertip and just press the eyeshadow into the center ball part of my eyelid next instead of
using a traditional Brown kind of blending shade I've been really into using this warm melon color
called retro it just adds a little bit of warmth without looking not neutral just sort of tapping
this almost like I'm making really tiny circles and I'm following along that eye socket area so
if you push your brush in you should be able to feel that hollow area beneath your brow bone and
again it's going to have the most concentration of color at this outer third area and then lighter as
you go in next I'm going in with a much darker color I'm using this blackish-brown it's called
endgame and just almost tap this in a angle almost like it's a really heavy winged brush this toward
the center sort of make a little triangle right here I'm gonna go back with that blending brush
and the reddish shade that we use before and I'm just going to blend those two colors together
I'm going to go in with that same brown color I'm just gonna smudge this into my lower lash
line you don't want to bring it all the way in because we're not going for like a heavy goth
kind of smoky eye but I feel like when it's a little bit thicker at the ends it makes your
lashes just look that much thicker and fuller now I'm gonna take a teensy little brush I'm going
in again with that same shimmery shade Angelfire and I'm just gonna add a little pop to the inner
corner of my eyes to finish off the eye shadow I'm using this light shade right here and we're
going to put it right underneath the brow bone that's just gonna open up the eyes a little bit
make you look a little more awake and bright now I'm moving on to eyeliner and the most important
part about the liner is to use something that is waterproof because obviously if you're like me
you might end up tearing up a little bit so I'm using this benefit roller liner eyeliner that'll
keep me through any tears during the ceremony next I'm going to curl my lashes and add mass
gara and once again you're gonna want to find the most waterproof formula you own I'm using
my tried-and-true organic a cannonball mascara and it's called the cannonball because you should be
able to do a cannonball in like a pool and it won't come off your eyes oh we're learning new
things I don't normally do many many coats on my lower lashes but for these kinds of special
occasions I like doing at least two coats because I feel like fuller lower lashes really stands out
in those photos from far away now I'm going to put on some false eyelashes as always this
is definitely up to your personal preference but again I like how the extra lashes look in photos
from far away next I'm moving on to brows and I'm using this hourglass arch brow pencil drawing a
straight line toward where the top of my arches following that line down like that lower edge is
the most important part I'm also going to blend out the brow using the spoolie but in the same
direction as how I drew in the line earlier next I'm gonna go back to the cheeks and sometimes I
like waiting on adding the blush till the end just because I want to balance it with the intensity of
the eye shadow of that day so I'm gonna go in with this jus a bouquet d'amour and to go with my warm
pinky eyes I'm gonna go in with this more neutral pinky shade right here and then I'm actually going
to go a little bit further out from the front of my cheeks just in this center part and I'm gonna
blend this both upward and toward the center of my face I'm also going to go in with a bit
of natural highlight I'm using the Fenty Beauty kilowatt highlighter and mean money hustla baby
this has two different sides a more shimmery side and a more natural side I'm gonna go in
with the more natural side first right here it's a little bit more of like a pearly finish I would
say I'm gonna add that to the tops of my cheeks just cuz I want to look a little bit younger but
I also don't want to look like I'm trying way too hard because again this event is not about me but
you want to look pretty in all the photos I'm adding this also too right above the brow bone
the light is naturally going to hit your face there as well you can add it here above the lip
on your chin anywhere you want to bring a little bit more light forward you can do right here on
your forehead and then we're gonna go in with the shiny side here and I'm going to actually
be pretty cautious and where I use this I'm just gonna add this a teensy bit to the tip of my nose
down the center of my nose again we're gonna be very careful in how we place this we don't want
it to be like so overpowering if these pictures go on Facebook from somebody else's account six years
down the line and you still want to look really classic and pretty last but not least I'm going
in with a lip stick I'm going for a more natural my lips but better everyday kind of shade and I
like something a little bit more glossy because again it's going to translate really pretty and
photos without looking like you're trying too hard or taking too much attention so I'm using the YSL
Vil upped tint in balm this is in shade number one which is a very nice natural pinky brown color
such an easy color to wear easy to just throw in your purse it's gonna look good all the time and
it feels really comfortable so this is the final look I really really hope you guys enjoyed it and
