Wear very natural colours, don't wear too much! Brown eyeshadows different shades always look good and go with anything. Just a wear a light foundation, a little bit of blusher, and a small amoutn of mascara. As for the lips just wear a nice lipgloss - I wear a light brown :).

I have really sensitive skin too and use Olay tinted moisturiser. It works great on my skin and isn't too heavy. Can you wear eye makeup without any problems? xxx

go see the nice ladies at elemis or benefit or clarins or mac- they all do make up for sensitive skin and you can get make up lessons so youll know what colours look right on you x
CommentAuthorDrunchPunk
Yeah - make-up trial would be the way forward. If you tell them you have sensitive skin they can use gentle products, and they can show you what you can do.
go to a beauty salon that does it, if ur getting waxing or tanning etc done for the wedding go 2 the same place as they myt do u a discount, they offer a trial and they will prob ask u have u/do u wear make up and they will work round the fact that uve never worn it and they normal have make up sutible of all skin types, even treat yourself to a wee make over to see how u like the way they do it if they dont do it 2 the way u want it go else were hope this helps good luck xx

i had a benefit makeup consultant do mine,it looked so natural,,go to your local counter,build up a good bond with one of the consultants,they will advise you on what to use and what not to use,

Benefit are fantastic. When I visited New York I had Benefit do my make up. I love it so much I took the whole lot and it ended up costing me £600!! Wish I had that money now. lol. xxx
CommentAuthorKarlie1976
I guess I am scared of having a trial in case I get all itchy afterwards, I know I should start testing things out now rather than nearer the time so my skin gets used to it. Skin feels tight, unhealthy the only time it was tested. I am liking the soft colours mentioned as I dont want anything in your face and stand out ish if I have to wear it. Kxx

Hey sweetheart - Bare Escentuals Mineral Make-Up kit. No perfumes, nothing untoward in it, basically it's coloured talc! You can get the starter kit with all the bits and pieces you'll need (except lipstick & eyeshadow) for around £60.00 Sounds pricey but the starter kit used every day would last you around 3 years! And you'd spend nearly twice that on Clarins, MAC, Benefit etc etc OR Try your local 'Lush' shop as they do their own range of marvellous cosmetics :) hth xxx
It's right what they say

But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

I have sensitive skin too and some expesive products are ok some arent. One thing i've found never makes my eczema flare up though its Boots Natural collection. It's always been good on me and its really cheap. I've used it for years cause when i was a teenager it was all i could afford off my paltry wages lol. Every item is £2 or under lol

Have a wee look at a few pics on peoples profiles that have had make up trials done Karlie, thats also a wee hint to look at mine lol but I hardly ever wear make up and although the eye make up is more defined in the pics cause I will be wearing my glasses on my wedding day....or not see nothing lol, otherwise the make up i have on is very limited but gives me a natural glow. I have sensitive skin also and have to watch what I wear, defo best to to a trial n error stint now so that you can find out what suits and what doesnt and so on.
Looking at your pic of yourself Karlie you are a natural beauty and wouldnt require much if anything make up wise to accentuate your beauty, thats what I think personally. xx

Ah thanks all.. Its very hard. I guess I will wear as minimul as I can in the day and get it off at the reception. I just get hot and can feel it itchy and never wearing anything like that I know it will wind me up! lol! Thanks Spooney, means a lot. Just frustrates me, one look at make up and I get covered in spots! lol! Kxxx
