So, I just recently got married (to the man of my dreams) on November 29, 2009.  Our wedding came off perfectly…small & intimate – without a lot of fuss or frivol.

First and foremost – big props to my wedding photographer Katherine O’Brien.  She took some amazing photos.  She didn’t require much prompting on my part – she just sort of intuitively knew were the good shots where and captured them.

I will have to go into detail on my whole wedding look in another post – but I wanted to rave about the MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Invisible Cover Foundation I used.  I’ve been eyeing this foundation since IMATS 2009 in Pasadena, but I only finally picked it up a few months ago.  One of my makeup artist friends was raving about it and that sealed the deal for me.

As the pictures show – this makeup came off FLAWLESS in photos.  It delivered an airbrushed effect.  The formula is oil-free and medium to full coverage (it’s buildable).  There’s no SPF – to turn your face white in flash photography.  The purpose of this makeup is to even out skin, make it look flawless, and appear invisible in film/print – even in HD.  I have to say – it lived up to that expectation.  Spherical pigments provide a soft-focus effect that really gives skin a nice glow.

I would say it took about 2-3 pumps to build my perfect coverage – I applied using a MAC 190 Foundation Brush over the MUFE HD Microperfecting Primer in Neutral.  I also set and finished with the MUFE HD Microfinish Powder.  I’m not sure I’d jump to using this combo for everyday – it is beautiful in real life – it’s just a little bit of a high maintenance application.  One thing to note – I think this looks best when skin texture is in great condition.  I made sure to take care of my skin leading up to the my wedding – so that I would only be working to even out the color of my complexion and conceal blemishes.  If I had somewhat dry or flakey skin – I’m not sure I would’ve liked this matte finish foundation.
