Marie Antoinette Makeup Ideas

Question: What should I get her for Christmas?

Ok so my neighbor who is a junior in HS gave me an early christmas gift. And im a freshman if that makes any difference lol. But she gave me 3 things from sephora, a marie antoinette palette, and two sephora piiink my french manicure things which have a white or beige nail polish on one end and silver or gold glitter on the other end. i wanted to give her something back that’s makeup related so like something from sephora or MAC maybe..what do you guys think i should give her? something around 20-30 dollars..

would one of these be good?

do u guys have any other ideas?
thnx

Answer: I think the Little Darlings sets are a great gift idea! Plus, they're on sale which never happens!
I would either get the warm pigment set (which is very flattering to most people) or a lip gloss set (or both?).

Happy shopping!

Marie Antoinette Pink Costume

Question: I’m looking for a NICE Marie Antoinette style dress…?

So far all I’ve been able to find are super slutty ones such as this:

And really tacky ones like this:

Unfortunately I can’t sew and I’ve already checked a few thrift shops. So, can anyone tell me where I can find a nice one online? Perhaps from a historical replica site or something (not something like party city or walmart). If you say ebay, then send me an exact link please. Also, if it were under $200 that would be great! Sorry I’m being so picky.. but it’s for my 18th birthday party!

Or does anyone know of any good costume rental stores in the los angeles area?

10 pts for the most helpful answer!! Thanks

Answer: Well my best advice is that you buy them from a costume shop (it's almost Halloween, so these shops are open almost everywhere). Although the pictures for the costumes look pretty trashy, I recommend you go and try some on anyways (maybe they're not too short on you, or you can buy a few sizes bigger and have it altered or fit you)

Marie Antoinette Bridal Shop

Finally! 2009’s gowns bring brides some real choices, after several years of strapless uniformity. (Thank you, Vera Wang!) If you’re the type of bride who wants a couture (or couture-inspired) gown to match the finer shades of your personality and wedding style, 2009 is the year with your name on it! Here are a few of the hottest trends going:

Crumb-Catcher Bodices.

This regal, old-world design twist came from that same lust for luxe that brought us Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, and its subsequent style explosion in the bridal world.

Greek Goddess Columns.

The ultimate look backward, the style takes us back to the lovely goddesses (and early supermodels) of Greece’s Golden Age. With plenty of glorious examples to be seen from bridal magazines to the red carpet, this style’s not going away soon. Happily, it lends itself to arm bling and the half up-half down style that’s still so alluring to brides. Also note: bridesmaids look amazing in goddess gowns when the bride’s wearing something more structured.

Asymmetrical / One-Shouldered Styles.

These gowns are sexy attention-getters. Another hot commodity on the red carpet, the asymmetrical top adds up to an exciting departure from same-old strapless, while exuding plenty of come-hither vibes.

Subued Color Plays.

Color’s no longer the domain of a bold — or even distracting — burst of contrast in the train or cuffed bodice of an otherwise stark-white gown. Instead, next year’s color inspiration flows from Vera Wang’s gowns in warm toasts and charcoals, St. Pucchi’s fabulous champagne and platinum combos, or gowns that ripple with multicolored gardens of embroidery (Claire Pettibone).

The Mini.

No longer the oddball in an otherwise full-length portfolio, minis have become serious business, with layers and ruches and ruffles aplenty. Increasing number of brides find them a brilliant choice for tent weddings on the shore or in the vineyard. And let’s not forget those brides who want a gorgeous but mobile second gown to get down and boogie the night away.
