Since wedding season is right around the corner, I thought I’d show my favourite bridal look here. The look is a taupe smokey eye; soft yet glamorous.
When I started this look I initially went with a deep purple shade for the outer corner, but it was quickly turning into a “I got punched in the eye” kinda look. Instead of purple, the combination of chocolate brown and black on the outer corner balanced out the look very well. A super thin line on the bottom lash line adds definition but keeps the look from looking heavy.
I kept the lips a natural pink colour by combining two of my works-for-everyone shades: MAC Patisserie and Viva Glam V.
Oh and, can we talk skin? Ayu has really pretty freckles, so I kept the foundation light. I highlighted under the eyes, cheeks and nose with YSL Touche Eclat (OMG – totally sold on this product!). A quick dusting of the new for summer YSL Terre Saharienne in Nº 2 Sunkissed, and the look is done!
What do you think? Should I turn wedding makeup into a series? Check out Artistry By Arianne for more photos including a before and after!

— semi-glossy and almost gel-like in consistency. It is not greasy nor heavy on the lips, but gives my lips the right amount of moisture that they look beautifully plump.
This is for you, Tracy! The waterproof formula and brush keep my lashes separated and curled all day long, without smudging or flaking. The pop of bright blue is just so. much. fun. I’m a fan!
