they are 85p each, and for the 3 with postage it was £4.05, from elemental beauty. the samples are a spot on match to the photos on the website too! the samples will last about a week or so, so if you didnt want to spend out on a big size if you think you wont use it all...

I found watching youtube tutorials really helpful. I think the best was: http://www.youtube.com/user/pixiwoo
They are two sisters and they do all kinds of demos and teach you how to blend your eyeshadow professionally etc

On my wedding day I used MAC eyeshadows. I bought three and have used them loads since I got married and have hardly worn them down at all. If you are going to buy expensive shadows just for your wedding day I would make sure you go for something along the same lines you already wear, like neutrals, as then you won't be wasting your money on colours you don't normally wear. I thin the most usual look for bridal makeup is a classic smokey eye but not too dark or dramatic! lol

This is what I did with the eyeshadows. I used Mac All That Glitters (lightest colour)all over the lid. Mac Wedge (medium colour) blended in the crease and Mac Espresso (darkest colour) for a bit more definition in the crease and also doubled it up as an eyeliner as it's much darker when used wet.
I also used some beautiful false lashes but made sure they were not too long and fake looking! They can look really lovely and Boots have a great variety.
The Body Shop do fab brushes and easily rival the super expensive Mac brushes ( I have tested both) also art shops do some nice brushes very cheaply that are great as makeup brushes because it really does make a huge difference when you apply shadow with a brush rather than those little pointy sponges.

Ok, I'm going to stop now lol!

I have been watching the tutorials by Pixiwoo and they are absolutely fab, definitely very comprehensive and easy to follow. In the end I have caved in to the cheap prices of Avon lol. I have ordered a blush, some bronzing pearls and the kabuki brush, spectra colour lipstick in the browns, (I think), and the mousse eyeshadow in a stick called velvet taupe. I am still going to get either a smash box primer or the clarins spray on make up fixer not sure which one yet!

Thanks so much for all your help girls and I hope this thread becomes a source for lovely wedding day make up and other people use it to find their wedding make up aswell!
