Smokey eye for the wedding day?

I always imagined getting a very smokey eye, I think its what looks best on me. But all the makeup I'm seeing seems cleaner. Thoughts?

Your wedding day IMO is the day that you can go over the top and get away with it. I think if it looks good on you then thats even more of a reason to do it. I will be sporting this look as well

If you like the way it looks on you, then go for it! I checked depends only b/c it depends on the overall look you're going for.

Depends on what looks good on you. When I did it for my trial I thought I looked like a hooker especially since I don't wear makeup.

lol, this!

Also, do you sweat? Does your makeup tend to run or smudge? Even w professional makeup, I know after 12 hours I may have an issue if there is too much going on under my eye. I had a very light liner on my lower lash line and it worked out perfectly. Had I gone full out smokey, it would have been a disaster.

To each their own--I would definitely do it on a trial first.

I am a makeup artist and I have to say I love the smokey eye look on brides that wear modern wedding dresses. I think it kills the look if you have a smokey eye with a princess ball gown dress on.

I am doing over the top smoke eyes for my wedding. You should get two different looks done when you do your trial so you can be the judge.

it depends what works best on you. i know for me i look terrible in a smoky eye or dark eye makeup in general but if it works for you then i say go for it. i personally think a smokey eye with browns or purples is a softer, nicer look for a wedding than a black or gray smokey eye but thats just my opinion

Smokey eyes are nice esp for a night wedding. Im gonna do smokey eyes i want them to stand out in pix. Alot of brides do more natural make up cause they want to look more natural on their day

I had a smokey eye look for my wedding day but somewhat neutral. I had her use light browns instead of dark gray.

I think it depends on the time of day!!! I think if you are having a daytime wedding, softer eyes are more appropriate. However, if your entire shindig is at night, I think you can go for the drama with your makeup. I went to a wedding once where the bride had really dramatic eye makeup and she looked like a clown coming out of the church but later that night in the dimmer light of the ballroom she looked beautiful.
