Drug Store Diva: Low Cost-High Impact

Brides are spending so much on their weddings that the last thing a bride wants to worry about is cutting back on their wedding day makeup. Your wedding day is a day for you to shine and when you walk down the aisle you want to know that your makeup will be just as flawless as the carats on your finger. Bridal makeup is just as important as the wedding dress, the wedding photos and the wedding cake. So how do you look as fabulous as a Hollywood celebrity on your wedding day, but on a budget? My favorite budget makeup is L’OREAL PARIS cosmetics.

Here is where a glam girl begins:

To create the glamxurious look I used the following items:

• L’OREAL PARIS Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base

• L’OREAL PARIS Studio Secrets Professional Color Smokes Shadow in Blackened Smokes

• L’OREAL PARIS HIP High Intensity Pigments Color Truth Cream Eyeliner, Black

• L’OREAL PARIS True Match Blush in Baby Blossom

• L’OREAL Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black

• L’OREAL Colour Riche Lipcolor in Sea Fleur

So when thinking about being on a budget, don’t be alarmed! Selecting makeup from a drugstore can be advantageous for your look and your purse and still make you glamxurious on your wedding day.

My second bride of the day was a glamxurious bride one that luvs makeup (6 different tubes of mascara)...really. She doesn't wear fake eyelashes because her lashes are really long and full. I was able to be as heavy handed when applying her eye makeup. Darla request were gold, green, and brown eyeshadow with a heavy eyeliner.
