"I heard you're getting married, and you've tuned in to get great tips to apply your wedding makeup, this is the right place. My name is Sylvia Russell and this is how you can apply your makeup for a wedding. Now, as you can see, I have my eyelashes here because we want to look beautiful and we want our pictures to be beautiful as well, so we're going to apply eyelashes to our eyela...eyelids. Now as you can take a look here, there's a dramatic change. She has beautiful, flashy eyelashes on this lid, and on this lid, we've left them natural so that you can see the difference in her lids. The eyelashes are going to enhance her eye. Next, makeup for a wedding should be very soft, but also very polished. You're going to be wearing a white dress, so I like to use a little bit of shimmer white on the lid. This is going to open up the eye. It's going to look great with your dress. Remember, if your girls are wearing orange, there's no need for you to be wearing eye, orange, eyeshadow on your lids. You must stand apart from your girls, so you want to make sure that whatever you use on your eyelids is very soft, but is very polished, making sure that it's very clean. Now, once she opens her eye, you'll be able to see the difference. It actual looks very soft, sultry, and sexy. Now, I'm going to use a little bit of a contour, but the contour is going to be very soft, ans we're going to apply this to the crease of the eye, like so, adding some depth, but not making it too smokey. We want the eyes to be very open, and very, very beautiful. So, as you can see, the contour is actually enhancing that brow bone giving her a beautiful wide eye. Now when she opens her eye, take a look at that. How pretty is that. Look at the right eye, and look at the left eye. Now, remember that we must frame the eye with some pencil or a brow powder. This also is going to enhance the eye. Now I know this is a big day for you and we want your makeup to be beautiful, so use these tips to get a beautiful wedding day makeup. My name is Sylvia Russell, and have a happy wedding."
