I know there are sooooo many issues with my makeup. I’m trying to get better, but seriously struggling. Anyways, I can never get eyeshadow looks to be near as nice on my eyes as I see on other’s.

Would my eyes be considered hooded and, if so, what kind of look would be better. I haven’t had much luck with hooded eye tutorials as my eyes aren’t as hooded as the ones I see in most tutorials…hence the reason I’m wondering if that is even the eye type I have.

I’m also dealing with every single product I try sinking into and emphasizing my fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes. I have very VERY dry skin, but no amount of moisturizer, eye balms, creams, etc seem to help. I’ll be 39 next week, so obviously my eyes aren’t gonna look like they did 10 years ago, but I feel they could look so much better than they currently do.

I need help picking out what jewelry to wear with my dress!

We’re having a very small, intimate ceremony at a historic cabin in Gatlinburg towards the end of October. We’re doing a somewhat “rustic or cowboy” theme.

As of now, I plan to do a half up/ half down style with my hair. It’s a few inches longer now than it was in this pic and I’m planning to possibly do some clip-in extensions as well.

I thought about a strand of pearls and pearl drop earrings to match, but I just don’t know what would actually look good.

I’m also undecided on a veil. I’m not sure of all the veil terminology, but if I do one, I want it shorter than a fingertip veil.

I don’t know if it matters, but I’m not a traditional bride. I’m 39 and while this will be my first wedding, it’s not my first marriage.
