Need advise on wedding make-up...?

I'm in a wedding this weekend and I don't know what make-up to wear. I normally don't wear make up except mascara and a little foundation/powder combo. My bridesmaid dress is a royal blue color. Not too purple, not too blue. My skin is light with yellowish undertones and my eyes are light green, my hair is light brown and long, and my face is long and narrow- if that makes a difference. What do you all suggest for make-up and accessories?Need advise on wedding make-up...?
My first question is have you asked the bride what she thinks? Usually the bride either decides what type of hair, make up and accessories she wants her maids to wear, or she hires a make up artist to do work on everyone (that's what I'm doing at my wedding).





If the bride tells you that it's up to you, I wouldn't go too overboard. Use some brown mascara and eyeliner to bring out your green eyes, and use foundation or concealer to cover any blemishes you might have. Use a subtle lipstick to define your lips, and sweep some blush on your cheeks if you're good at doing that. (I'm not!) Finally, use some powder to blot shine off your face for all the pictures you'll be in. I actually prefer to use regular small pieces of paper rather than powder to get rid of shine-- simply press them gently to oily spots and it works wonders.





As far as accessories, maybe some small drop earrings and a simple necklace. And you might want to get a mani/pedi so that your nails look their best.





Hope this helps :)Need advise on wedding make-up...?
I would not put on much more than people are used to seeing you with. Do wear a light shade of lipstick.
A neutral gloss, some foundation/powder combo, mascara, and a shimmery white eyeshadow!
