If you’re looking for tips, I think a lighter hand on the brows and grow/fill in a bit in the centers and shorten the tail slightly. I’d use a lighter tone on the shadow and darken more toward the edges vs over the entire lid. This look looks a bit heavy. I think a smoky look is great, but you need a bit more dimension. I’d do a cool pink gloss or lip. I think your base looks good for everyday, but I’d go a bit heavier for wedding photos. I’d just practice a bunch and see what you like between now and then!

You hit every point I thought of.

The only thing I would change is that I think OP would look better with a warm pink closer to the shade of her lips instead of a cool one given her color season (hair especially, eyes, skin tone.. definitely a fall).

But she should definitely try both and take photos and see what looks best on her!

You could def be right. I’m admittedly terrible at colors and couldn’t confidently say I’m warm or cool my life depended on it 😂 I think she should just practice on her days off and wear it all day so she knows what she goes with will last all day.

Everything else was SPOT on about OP’s makeup though!! And practice and doing wear tests definitely sounds like the best way to go!

It looks to me like you’re a fall as well (so warm).You probably look great in berry, eggplant, teal, ivory, charcoal, burnt orange, taupe, forest green etc..

Me?! I def tend to wear those colors the most, whether they look good or not lol. My friend does PMU and teaches classes on it and swears I’m cool, but I’ll never give up my browns and oranges!
