My aunt and uncle are having a vow renewal ceremony and she asked me to do her make up for it. Normally she doesn't wear alot of make up and the ceremony is at 12:30 in the afternoon. Her foundation mix is 1 warm gold 1 ebony and 11 or 12 original and her eye color is a green gold brown mix. The colors are yellow, cream and brown with her dress being creamy buttercup-ish. Originally I was thinking about doing her eyes with Juiced, Honey and Harris. Today I was thinking of Homecoming Queen, Mojave and Prowl. I'm stuck on the blush and lip though so any suggestions are welcome.

Hi there....what color hair does your auntie have and what colors does she like....more pinky shades or more nude/natural shades?
It seems like she is pretty fair and warm toned....I like your first eyeshadow idea a little better.
Are there any colors she hates?
Thanks,
Laurie

Is there any way you can do a test run for the eye colors? If you have time to try one on each eye, I think it will make it easy to choose. I think either one would be lovely, but the first one if she does not do well with pink.
I think the blush and lip should be low shimmer. Flirt is a good basic blush.
Are you looking for lipstick or gloss. Whatever she wears on her lips will likely need to be reapplied. And it is not a good idea to wear something that is goopy. Usually, a wedding day is a day to put up with the long wearing ones. We do have lip stains that work well with the glosses. My recommendation is to experiment ahead of time. Is she more of a fan of pinks or peaches?
I am so sorry I missed answering this post earlier. (Thank you, Laurie!)
