last saturday JG, C, A and I hit the soho bloomies to shop for C's wedding makeup. C wanted something similar to Eva Longoria's wedding pics on the cover of OK! (i think this was the magazine, but i could be wrong). dramatic eye with a neutral lip--and C is just so lovely, i couldn't imagine it not looking great. anyway, i am not particularly fond of the downtown outpost of bloomies--i think that the cosmetics department is way too small and the salespeople are way to pushy. after perusing a couple of different counters, we finally got comfy at Bobbi Brown--i had a feeling we'd end up there because every bride i've ever known raves about the Bobbi Brown MAs. And let me tell you, they have reason to! the MA did such a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job on C that i just stood there gaping. she looked like herself, but like the best version of herself--a dramatic, glammed of version of herself. exactly the way you would want to look like on your wedding day.
she used a bunch of different products, but by far the stand out and the thing i am going to purchase next--actually make that the two things i am going to purchase next (i can't help myself) are the pot rouge in calypso coral (coral always sounds scary, but it isnt. in it's best incarnation it should be soft and this color is velvet loveliness. 3 of us put it on afterward and our skin tones and coloring couldnt be more different. this is a must-have, i think!) and the long-wear gel eyeliner. any color of the gel eyeliner would be amazing--the secret is the formula. i dont usually wear eyeliner and when i do, it's usually liquid, but i want to start wearing eyeliner because this product is so amazing.
