NARS Mekong Look and Wedding Outfit

NARS Mekong Look and Wedding Outfit


I wanted to share my NARS Mekong look, which I wore to my cousin’s wedding when I was in Indiana. She had a Black and White themed wedding, which was really cool.

I opted to forgo foundation and used my Mirvaso medication, but packed my Cover FX Pressed Mineral Foundation in N10 in my handbag just in case I needed it (plus it has a mirror). I started out with Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipstick in Gothica, but before I left my grandmother’s house, I changed to my Champagne Agave lip mask paired with NARS Anse Soliel pencil.

Lucky Table 13

Yes, we were seated at lucky table 13. The centerpieces were gorgeous and the candles light up and had water bubbling inside. Really neat.

Yes, I’ve got a huge dimple in my chin. The picture above makes me feel like I’m channeling Andy Samberg more than Rose McGowan.

 Dress – Sangria Sleeveless High-low Halter Dress in Black
Shoes – Alex Marie Lilah Platform Wedges in Black
Handbag – Jessica McClintock Large Lace Clutch in Black / Champagne
Necklace – Bunny Page Silk Ombré Mini Pavèd Heart Necklace
Earrings – Bunny Page Crystal Heart Rose Gold
Ring – Bunny Paige Purple Velvet Swarovski Crystal Cocktail Ring

I couldn’t get anyone to take a decent picture of me with Ray and I didn’t have a tall tripod.  The best picture I have was before Ray even put on his shoes. *headdesk* It was a black and white wedding, so of course I wore black. Ray wore a purple tie to match my hair.

I absolutely love that clutch I bought for this event. It has a small shoulder strap, which I used later in the evening. The bag also held my small makeup bag and cell phone, so I had everything with me that I needed. I brought Cover FX Pressed Mineral Foundation in N10, NARS Anse Soliel lip pencil and Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask in Champagne.

The shoes were very comfortable for running around in. I did have a black wrap to go with my dress. Unfortunately both were too thin for the bitter cold winds of Indiana for the outdoor ceremony. Thankfully the reception was indoors! I do love the dress and I felt like it was very flattering. I purchased it thinking that it would be Summer weather, not Fall, for the wedding.

I didn’t like how Gothica looked on me, so I switched to Bite Beauty Champagne with NARS Anse Soliel.

I love Urban Decay X. It’s one of those cool duochromes that shift from peach to gold. Blended on top of Mekong the gold becomes more prominent.

I really love the combination of Bite Beauty Champagne on top of NARS Anse Soliel. It’s my go-to neutral lip these days. It’s such a comfortable, moisturizing combination.

  4. I think I definitely prefer the second choice of lip colour. I love the eye makeup, it is neutral yet very dramatic at the same time! LOL to the picture where your husband isn’t wearing shoes!! WHY DO MEN DO THESE THINGS!!?

  6. I have the Urban Decay X eyeshadow as well – and I LOVE it! I hate that it’s no longer available in the new formulas, so I use it VERY sparingly!

  8. This is a really pretty look! You guys look great! Love the wedding table details. So unique!

    1. Aww thanks Kath! It’s unique in my collection and definitely one of the most girly handbags I now own because of the lace detailing.

    1. You need a deep brown with gold flecks, a neutral taupe matte, a base shade that’s close to your skintone, and a peach-gold duochrome 🙂
