We all did our own hair and makeup for the wedding, Even if we hadn’t been trying to limit the number of people due to COVID, I still would have wanted to do my own makeup though I probably would have opted for a hair stylist. Getting my makeup professionally done is so, so hit or miss. Sometimes even if I like the actual look of the makeup, I just don’t “feel” like myself and I really just prefer a more natural look.
I was a little nervous about my hair– especially since our wedding was going to be in the backyard and my hair is v sensitive to the environment. We lucked out with zero humidity so ultimately there wasn’t an issue!
MY HAIR:
I actually just did my regular hair routine. I did a blow out with my Dyson and then curled loose waves with my wand (here’s how I do it).
MAKEUP:
My makeup was pretty much my regular makeup routine too– I just added eyeshadow and false eyelashes I bought on a whim from the drug store. I was nervous to use the false eyelashes because getting both to look great can be so hard. I was sweating 😆 I did have to peel one off and restart but ultimately figured it out.

Thank you so much for the post! I’m hoping to do my own hair and makeup for my wedding and I thought yours turned out great!
Beautiful! So happy for you! 💗
I can totally relate to you about professionally-done makeup. I’ve thought about this a lot, and figured that when I get married I will also want to do my makeup myself, to feel 100% myself and comfortable. I’m also all for very natural makeup vs. dramatic makeup on my wedding day so this checks out!
You did your hair so pretty, love it 🙂
Have a great Sunday Carly! x

Pillow talk was my wedding lip combo too! You looked beautiful. Congrats to you and Mike!
What a gorgeous photo and thanks for the tips! You are so pretty!
This is so beautiful! Lovely!
Such Kate vibes. Who I believe did her own makeup as well…..swoon
You are seriously a natural beauty Carly! Totally agree on makeup artists. I always like how I look as a concept but I often don’t feel like myself. I love that you did something low key and responsible.
Absolutely beautiful, Carly! I’m also having an intimate wedding and planning on doing my own hair and make-up. Thanks for the inspiration!
