DIY Bridal Makeup: Pin-Up Edition!

Our fellow Sephora Girl, Leela, tied the knot almost a month ago, and we're still buzzing about the bang-up job she did on her makeup! A tall drink of water with a raven-hued head of hair, Leela opted for a saucy pin-up look--the exact opposite of the au natural bridal look Sephora recently created. What makes Leela's look even more incredible (besides the fact that she pulled it off, flawlessly) is that she did it all by herself! "I love the classic pin-up look," she says. "All of the products I used on my wedding day were ones I already had in my makeup wardrobe (except for the false lashes). I simply amped-up the application to ensure my features would standout in photographs and my makeup would last all day – and it did!" Here's what she used...

Complexion:
NVEY ECO Organic Crème Deluxe Foundation, Vincent Longo Cream Concealer, NARS Powder Foundation SPF 12

Cheeks:
Korres Blush in Peach 18

Brows:
Smashbox Brow Tech

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion, Benefit Silky Powder Eye Shadow in Bossy and Low Profile, Make Up For Ever Lashes in Ref 25015, Make Up For Ever Waterproof EyeLiner in Black 1

Lips:
NARS Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Duo in Moon Fleet/Indian Red

Nails:
Sephora Brand Lacquer Nail Polish in L15 Chamallow

For Touch-Ups:
Boscia Fresh Blotting Linens in Original

She looks beautiful! I love the look. Very classic.
I am really interested in the foundation she used. I've worked with the concealer and really liked it. I can't wait until I get my notification email that says the factory has it in stock!
