All brides want to look beautiful on their wedding day. You deserve the very best after all. Read on for some
makeup tips to help make that so.
-Your bridal makeup should not overwhelm or underwhelm you. You need to find a balance between too much and too little. Remember your pretty features should stand out, not the makeup colors you use.
-If you generally wear very little in the way of makeup, change that for your wedding day. Aim for skin that looks flawless and glowing with vitality.
-Before you put foundation on your face apply what is known as a “primer” or a transparent gel. What this does is it creates a barrier between your face and the makeup. This allows for the longevity of your makeup and colors that will last throughout the day. The gel is also good for another reason- it prevents makeup from finding its way deep into your pores.
-Choose a concealer that is slightly lighter than your foundation. The concealer is particularly important to disguise any under eye circles you may have. Make sure you blend the concealer towards your nose using downward strokes. Blend both your concealer and foundation well. You don’t want to be able to tell where either one ends.
-Neutrals are the best choice for wedding day makeup colors. They look the most natural. Save the wild, bright colors for another occasion. In particular, morning weddings require the most natural makeup while evening weddings allow you to go with slightly darker makeup shades if you prefer.
-Eye definition is important, therefore your eyeliner should be soft, not harsh. Line eyes softly with smudgeable powder liner.
-Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler. Then carefully apply two to three coats of waterproof mascara. Soft black or brownish black shades are best for your wedding day.
-Light peach eye shadow works well as an eyelid base. Choose neutral colors for your eye shadow. Stay away from blue or green shades, as they will look dated in your photos when you look back. Bright colors are a no-no, as is gray.
-Line your lips but do so with a natural color.
-Brush your lipstick on if possible and dot the middle of your bottom lip with a touch of gloss. This makes for a dewy and romantic look.
-Avoid very pale shades for your lips as they will give you a washed out look.
