Make-up to wear underneath Mardi Gras/Carnival mask?

Hey! I'm getting married January 24, and my maid of honor told me my bachelorette party is going to be January 17. Among many assorted adventures she has planned, all the girls will be donning masquerade masks for our night out. She wanted me to go ahead and pick out my mask, and it got me started thinking about my make-up.





I know I want BIG eyelashes and dramatic eye make-up. Think sparkle and WOW! Any ideas of sites that have examples of make-up styles the girls and I can play around with?





Here are a couple of my favorite masks to give you an idea of my favorite styles.

If you're looking for inspiration, there are actually quite a lot of makeup tutorials on youtube (www.youtube.com), some are quite colourful styles. If you want big eyelashes then you can buy some false ones, some even have diamantes in which look very impressive.Make-up to wear underneath Mardi Gras/Carnival mask?
I would try the citrus zest with fake eyelashes if I were you. These are my eyes and I did the makeup so if you need any help let me know.


And congrats on the wedding.

i'm not too great with makeup. However i have some girls in my network that are makeup artist. i'm going to star your question, and hopefully they see it.





I'm going to throw out my suggestions.


I'd go with a smokey eye. Lots of shimmer/glittery for your foundation. Maybe even fake eye lashes for your eyes.





Personally i really like the first mask. You can do alot with that mask, and wear any kind of dress you wish, especially since black goes with almost any color.
Treat yourself and go to the salon and have them do your hair and makeup- bring the mask with you.
I would try the H.I.P. makeup at the drugstore, they have wicked cool pigments that are SUPER vibrant. As for how to do the make up, try searching you tube, they have a lot of great how-to videos. I used one of those videos to do my make up for my wedding and everyone thought i had it done professionally!
