I think you still need a little liner. You can put it on first (might give you a good idea of where to put the lashes) and then what I usually d is put a little liner on AFTER I put the lashes on to cover the band. Usually I just use a skinny angle brush and dark eyeshadow, but you can use a pencil or whatever you have on hand. Just something to blend the band in with your own lashes so it's not totally visible. You can also put mascara on your fake lashes after you've applied them - this pushes your real lashes into them and they look more blended. It's not nearly as complicated as I am making it sound, I'm just being overly descriptive!<br /><br /><br />Honestly, I just use whatever I have on hand, the only part I think is pretty important is the foundation - you can make anything else work.<br /><br /><br /><br />The only thing I would add is that you should go a tad bit heavier/darker with the makeup than you are use to - a lot of it won't show up in the photos otherwise.Quaintrellehttp://www.wander-lusted.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-22511504993348999272013-08-01T20:34:24.858-04:002013-08-01T20:34:24.858-04:00YOU ARE MY HERO. you're hired!

And YARGH my fave tinted moisturizer (Laura Mercier) has SPF in it... thank you. I needed to know that.<br /><br /><br />Do you think I'll still need liner even with the full fake eyelashes?Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-12754002205675778932013-08-01T12:01:01.729-04:002013-08-01T12:01:01.729-04:00when I am fabulously wealthy I will have a pedicur...when I am fabulously wealthy I will have a pedicure every week.Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-68273221804318218082013-08-01T12:00:39.144-04:002013-08-01T12:00:39.144-04:00I haven't! my sister has done them and loves t...I haven't! my sister has done them and loves them.

If you're putting them on yourself, it sometimes helps to set a mirror on the counter and look down at it while you put them on.<br />* Make sure your foundation DOES NOT have SPF in it, the SPF reacts with the photographer's flash to turn your face white<br />* Get a full coverage foundation, if you don't think you will wear it every day (and you probably won't), just go to Sephora and ask them to give you a sample. It will be more than enough for your wedding (they last me for forever). I like Makeup Forever HD foundation.<br />* If you're a cried make sure you get waterproof mascara and liner (obviously). Doesn't need to be anything fancy, Cover Girl is very popular among MUAs :)Quaintrellehttp://www.wander-lusted.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-75157209225466856222013-08-01T10:10:22.345-04:002013-08-01T10:10:22.345-04:00I wore fake eyelashes (well just at the ends) for ...I wore fake eyelashes (well just at the ends) for my wedding and loved it. I think it's a great addition just because of all the pictures! I'm also not a manicure person but just because it never lasts more than a day for this klutz. I did do a french manicure for my wedding and it lasted until the honeymoon when it looked atrocious due to the pool and ocean. Pedicures though--I'm right with you.Betsyhttp://heavenstome-betsy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-80733747518539975352013-08-01T09:09:19.311-04:002013-08-01T09:09:19.311-04:00I love Daisy!

I don't think they are the best for your nails long-term, but a one time thing wouldn't hurt. Here in Loudoun County it costs around $40 (including tip), and it usually lasts for about two weeks without chipping or looking rough (mine even lasted through a week of a summer camp that I worked at). You can get a color one or they can do french tips, which is always a classy look.Katehttp://www.thoroughlymodernblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-36331887077516923952013-08-01T04:14:36.261-04:002013-08-01T04:14:36.261-04:00I'm definitely also splurging on fake eyelashe...I'm definitely also splurging on fake eyelashes for my wedding day!

So I'll get the works: a facial, mani/pedi, fresh highlights and cut, deep conditioning treatment, and brows waxed.
