What to get my bridesmaid?

Post by feyith » Fri Jun 18, 2010 3:39 am

I promised this beautiful young lady that this summer we are going to learn cooking and makeup together. :lol:

I think she's adorably perfect the way she is - but it would be fun to put together a little care pack for her like Kookith is doing for her bridesmaids. :)

Out of the gumballs: she liked Barcelona the best; Stockholm was slightly too dark and St. Tropez was too nude. - Pretty much the polar opposite of how I felt about them, so I think just grabbing my favorite colors isn't going to work. Any recommendations? Thanks, ladies! :D

When I did my fashion show, I made all the models a little black box with a sample of climax blush, a baby buki, a mini lip wand, and a pendant necklace. I did all their makeup for the show, and used pout on almost all of them.

For my wedding, i bought my bridesmaid an ornate silver box and filled it with a piece of homemade jewelry. I also gave her the elegant brown quad and an ultimate eyeshadow brush during the wedding planning part.

If you just want to give her a set of lippies, sounds like she would like Truly and Summer Fling or any of the new coral ones.

I like Sam's idea of the elegant brown quad, everybody can use some pretty neutrals :)

I agree with these rec's. I am also wondering about Soft and Tender?

Hey Emma

Lol thanks for the shoutout.

Actually I'm not sure about neutrals looking good on everyone, because I for one cannot wear neutrals. Earthy/taupey colours makes me look sickly.

Your friend is absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure she gravitates towards certain colours (purple maybe? she looks great wearing purple lol), so try to notice what she normally wears on her eyes, the type of colours she uses.

My bridesmaids' goodie bags are getting a bit out of control... it's hard to stop adding to it!
