What kind of makeup to wear with this dress?

So my hubby, daughter, dog, and I are going up to New York this weekend for my husband's friend's wedding. My husband is actually in the wedding so he'll be wearing a tux (even though it's going to be a small informal wedding).  So I bought this dress from Target to wear:
Now, my problem is what kind of makeup should I wear with it?  It's an olive/army green.  The wedding is on Sunday night (at 7:30) and the reception is at a small bar.  However, we're not just celebrating the wedding that night.  My parents are going to take our daughter overnight so we can celebrate (even though it's a little late) our anniversary.  

So this was a trial run for what I was thinking I might do.  See, what I want is for my husband to see me and be like, "Yup.  That's my wife."  Ya know?  
haha, yup, my hair is a little bit purple.  I just bleached it and toned it.


What do you think of this?  Too much?  Not enough?  

Also, I'm getting my hair cut because my friend who lives in NY cuts my hair every time I go up there and I was thinking I want to get bangs.  Maybe something like these:

What do you think?  Any input is greatly appreciated!  Thanks guys so much!

  1. Very pretty look. I want bangs too, I wear my hair just like you with the front pinned back. I wear glasses 360 days a year though so I am not sure that bangs and glasses really work.

  2. very pretty eye look! It IS an evening wedding so a heavier eye look would be appropriate. Your dress is not overly formal, so bolder eye makeup is totally fine. You'll look great!

    Happy belated anniversary!

  5. One of my friends has bangs like the pictures you showed and I think they are soooooo cute. I am so envious, because I can't do bangs (do NOT go well with curly hair). I think they would be super cute on you. Go for it!

  6. I say yes to the bangs too!! I think you will look hot with them for sure!!! Go for it...they are longer bangs anyway and you can always do one of your cute styles and twist or pin them back. Besides, they'll grow! Anddd as for the dress, loooove it and the look is perfect!! You better take pictures this time. Haha.

  7. I love the makeup look! I think it will look awesome with that dress!
    I think you should definitely cut your bangs, you could totally rock it! And, if you don't like them, you could do what Danisaddiction said and pin them back or sweep them to the side (that's what I had to do!) :)

  8. I love the eyeshadow look and think it will go great with the dress! If you feel like its not enough or its missing something, you can always add some falsies. As for the bangs, GO FOR IT,girl! Bangs would look soooo cute on you!

  10. The eyes look fantastic! I say go for that look.

    As for the hair... I am going to voice 1 concern... the bangs may get on your nerves... I have never had bangs, but those type of bangs will brush your eyelashes, meaning, it will be covering your BEAUTIFUL make-up, unless you plan on pinning your bangs back all of the time. Just my opinion. I don't think you should do anything drastic to your hair... your hair always looks so pretty.

  11. Thanks guys! I think I'll stick with something similar to this look haha but maybe not. And I'm probably gonna go for the bangs. I mean, I have side bangs now (that have grown out so much that they're just like a weird layer) and I pin them up almost all the time so if I hate the bangs, I'll just pin them back. We'll see what my friend has to say. Haha @Dani hopefully I'll remember to take some pictures! I'll do my best! @Meme: false lashes are a great idea, I packed some just in case I want them! @Lindsey: I definitely see what you mean, I just kinda get this twinge of "do it" whenever I see long bangs like that haha. I really like them. Now, will I like them on me? I don't know.
