"Save the Date commenter kaymaroo recently submitted the following wedding makeup Q--and it&amp;#39;s a good one!\nPinterestFacebook*I&amp;#39;m doing my own wedding makeup and feel pretty comfortable with it, except for the eyeshadow. I don&amp;#39;t usually wear much, and if I do it&amp;#39;s in smoky, going-out shades. What color--and how much intensity--is appropriate for an outdoor, afternoon wedding in the summer? I have really fair skin and blue eyes, and I&amp;#39;m afraid of looking like a clown!*I relayed kaymaroo&amp;#39;s Q to New York City wedding makeup artist Jessica Liebeskind, who shared the following advice.\n- Apply a light, neutral shade all over your lids first.\nYou don&amp;#39;t need to use punched-up colors to play up your eye shade--something simpler works just as well. For pale skin, start with a slightly shimmery bone shade. For dark skin, try a warmer banana color. Such a muted hue may seem too subtle, but it will make a big difference in enhancing your eyes. &amp;quot;This base color neutralizes the skin around the eyes to enhance their beauty and gives the whole eye area lift and vibrancy without looking too noticeable,&amp;quot; Liebeskind says.\n- Layer on just one slightly richer, medium shade.\nSmudge this hue below your lower lashes and into your crease for added definition of your eye shape. Keep it soft and flattering, like a gray, taupe, tan, or even a brownish rose. Resist the urge to add more colors, which will only call attention to themselves instead of your eyes; Liebeskind believes in using no more than three different eye makeup colors on any bride.\n- Stay away from black eyeliner.\nIt&amp;#39;ll look too harsh in bright summer light. Instead, choose an eye pencil or long-wear gel eyeliner in a color like mahogany, espresso or charcoal, which will enhance your lash line more naturally. (Black mascara is still the best pick, though!) Using a brush to apply your liner will keep the look romantic and soft.\nWhat advice would the rest of you share with this reader?
