My Best Friends Wedding

If you are a regular Makeup Case reader you will know that one half, Bec, was engaged to be married. Well, the day has come! Miss Rebecca became Mrs Rebecca on the 8th of November 2013. It was truly a beautiful event with a small group of their close family.

This small event then grew to something massive and took over the entire weekend. She celebrated her nuptials with all their friends, and family, on Sunday. It was a casual affair and little bit carnival. I was the Maid of Honour. (Not sure when it’s maid or matron, please let me know the difference and if I’m right or wrong!)

Here are a few photos from the wedding. Mostly Sunday but maybe a cheeky one from Friday too.

 

Wedding Flower inspiration

Pinterest has got me a little bit obsessed with weddings! I have been looking at hair, makeup, locations and flowers, is the latest thing. I’m pretty sure Bec has decided on her flowers, but there is no harm in looking……

A little bit more hair inspiration

Becs wedding is getting closer and closer by the day. She thinks she pretty much has everything organised, which is great!!! But that doesn’t mean that I can look for more hairstyles for her big day. Here are a few that I love and because her hair is blonde that WILL look this good.

Tandem Bike Wedding

Here is a wedding we recently did. The bride is one of my sister in-laws best friends. It was a beautiful wedding and I have never seen someone more happy and excited to be getting married!

The bride was given, by her fiance, the tandem bike from the movie Australia, as an engagement present. It is the coolest vintage bike you will ever see! (I have secret bike envy.) The whole wedding was so pretty and vintage.

Here are a few photos from the wedding. We did the bride, bridesmaid (in the lace) and the mothers makeup. They were such a lovely family and we wish Belinda and Phil all the best in their life together.

The photographer was Fiona from Snippets Photography you can also check her out on Facebook She is a lovely girl and has amazing wedding shots.

Inspired bridesmaids!

As you may or may not know, Bec is getting married in November. She is very excited and very busy planning. As a bridesmaid, I am trying to help out in any way I can.

Bec has said she does not mind what her bridesmaids wear just that we are happy and comfortable. So again, I have turned to old faithful, Pinterest to look for ideas.

All 4 bridesmaids are different shapes and sizes so finding one dress to suit all will be a nightmare. Is it ok to wear the same colour, different style? Or same style, different colour? Or can they all be different?

This is some of the stuff I have found. You can check out some more on our Pinterest

Great Gatsby/Vintage wedding inspiration

We recently did a hair and makeup trial for a lovely lady for her wedding. The theme is a bit of a jumble because she didn’t want a “theme” wedding. She explained it as vintage, Great Gatsby, carnival, elegant. It is also a 4 day event. So I think it is going to be something special and a time they will remember forever!

Where did we look for inspiration? Pinterest! Of course! This is some of what we came up with. I love some of these hairstyles and head pieces.

What do you think?

Wedding Hair Inspiration

As you may, or may not know, Rebecca is getting married later in the year. There is lots of planning and booking and deciding going on so I thought I might help out with a bit of inspitration for hairstyles.

We have done quite a few wedding hairstyles in our time but Becs hair is THICK and there is HEAPS of it so may be difficult to find something that is different to normal and that will hold all day.

The first place I stopped at for hair inspiration is Hair Romance. If you need to know something about hair, you will find it here. If you haven’t been to Hair Romance before you should definitely take a look. She turns everyday hair into great hair everyday.

Thanks to Google, I also came across Girls Mehndi Designs which had some really nice hairstyles. Some may not be wedding appropriate but I thought they were awesome.

So this is just a start. If you have any ideas we would love to hear them (and see them) you can post them on our Facebook page or just email us themakeupcase@hotmail.com

You can also check out some of our work here and here.

What hairstyle did you have for your wedding? We would love to see some photos.

 

 

 

Wedding Prep – Clarisonic

So as you all probably all know, I recently got engaged. Apart from all the wedding planning, dress shopping and venue booking I have been trying to get my skin in order for the big day. The wedding is not until November but I figure why not start early!

I have wanted a Clarisonic for a while now but could not justify the hefty price tag until now. I told the fiance that we would save money in the long run because I wont need as many facials.

What wedding skin care prep have you guys done?

PS: Please like and subscribe to our YouTube channel. Apologies for the lack of makeup and messy room, fiance was making a suprise epic dinner and I was confined to one area of the apartment.

RRP $150.00 available from Myers and the Clarisonic website.

One Bridesmaids Makeup

My sister was in Sydney to be a bridesmaid for one of her friends, last weekend. We don’t get to see her much, so I agreed to do her makeup for the wedding.

That saturday proved to be a busy one, but I squeezed her in. And I only did the makeup. It was just a simple smokey-ish eye with a little pink and natural /pink lips. (please excuse the kitchen, food, people in the background. There were heaps of people and we barely had space to move) They wore black dresses so and had pink flowers, so anything goes!

This is some of the products used.

• Mac Select Tint spf15
• Maybelline Falsies (read about it here)
• Maybelline Gel Liner (read about it here)
• Mac Barbie blush (palet and individual)
• Clinique All About Lips (to keep lips all nice and your colour on)
• Dior Illuminator
• Dior Lash Maximiser (put it on before mascara)
• Estee Lauder lip liner
• Eyeshadow, mostly grey. Not sure what brand.
