Answer
First you need to determine your skin tone - either warm or cool. It's sounds like you have a warm skin tone but here's how to check:
Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.
Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

Then you can decide on a color palette. For a wedding you will want neutral, classic makeup. If you are going to have black & white photos taken make sure the colors you select will look good in them.
After you've narrowed down your color choices, have a friend take photos of you in a 2-3 different looks in different light settings so you can check out how well each one photographs.
My first suggestion would a slightly, shimmering champagne eye shadow w/ black eyeliner. Then a pretty rose or plum blush and lipstick.

As for your fingernails, I recommend Essie's Sugar Daddy - it's a really beautiful sheer pink that will look classic and elegant. This shade just makes one's nails look healthy & perfect. For your toes, you can choose a deeper pink or you can go neutral. Essie's Buy Me a Cameo is a shimmery, pearlescent taupe that is neutral but not boring.

Need help with wedding theme and colors!!!?
coachlover
Okay.. so i need help picking colors and a theme. My favorite color is light pink but my fiances is like a teal blue. He also really likes the beach alot. I love the beach as wellk but i also want a classy wedding. I was thinking pink and black for my colors but don't know how to do a classy beach theme. I really love the damark pattern and want to use that in my invites and so on. Can anyone help me with what i should do.?
Answer
I think you guys could go with shades of pink and teal!! It's very summer-y. A lot of brides don't really care what their fiance wants, they just make their wedding all about them, them them - I think your wedding should be a combination of you and your fiance's tastes. Unless he totally doesn't care, then just do whatever you want. But the colors pink and teal look verrry good together:

You can totally have a classy beach wedding. Beach doesn't automatically mean casual and laid back:

I'm guessing you were meaning to type "damask" pattern - and you could totally get damask invites in pink or teal. Here's a link to a pink damask invitation:
