How you look on your wedding day stays with your husband’s memory. The moment he sees you walking down the aisle he realizes how lucky he is for having a beautiful bride. So in this important day you have to look absolutely fabulous. Whether you plan to marry at noon or at night or at the beach, you have to keep an appropriate make up to look elegant. A more natural look is more important on this day of yours. Keep in mind to reserve your make up experiments on other occasions. Your make up should enhance your beauty and show it to the spectators. You can be your best in following these simple guides to fabulous look:
Prepare your skin
- Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day so don’t get too much sun before your wedding.
- Apply sunscreen protection If your wedding is outside
- If you are having a facial done, make sure it is at least two weeks prior to your wedding.
- If your skin is prone to breakouts, see your dermatologist 3 or 4 months before your wedding
- Drinking lots of water will help flush out impurities from the skin. Staying hydrated is important to keeping you looking refreshed.
- If you discover that dreaded pimple on your wedding day, do not squeeze it! Just apply a drop of visine to get the red out, cover with concealer, and apply foundation.
- If you have an olive complexion you should not use gray shades
- If you have a pale complexion you should not use vibrant colors.
Facial Make Up
- Water based foundation looks most natural in photos
- If you are doing your own makeup, see a beauty consultant and purchase your make up at least 3 months in advance. Then practice until you’ve got the perfect makeup.
- On your wedding day blend your makeup well and let set. You do not need extra makeup to please the camera – that’s a myth.
- Wear a button shirt or robe when applying your makeup so you don’t mess up your makeup. When slipping into your gown put a towel over your face so you don’t get makeup on your wedding dress.
- Shine is the #1 enemy for photos.
- A very light application of facial powder will set your makeup and reduce shine
- Avoid glittery or dewy looks – these are not very receptive for photographs and you may come out looking greasy.
- Make certain your wedding photographer is “not” using grainy film, because no matter how good your makeup is, with grainy film it will not look good
- Make sure your wedding photographer is using high quality film so your photos do your wedding makeup justice
- For your makeup to look good in your photos, it must be completely matte and in neutral tones, brides usually prefer a little color.
Your Eye Make Up
- Be sure not to pluck on your wedding day because you could land up with unattractive red bumps that are difficult to cover. Eyebrows should be shaped 5-7 days before the wedding.
- Pastels look soft and pretty, but avoid glitter, shimmer and frosted eyeshadows.
- Waterproof mascara is a great idea just in case you get a little weepy.
- Don’t apply white or black eye shadow
- For eye contouring, apply a dark but neutral in the crease of the eye. You can line the upper and lower lids (optional) with brown or grey shadow, smudging the outer corners
- If you need to make your eyes look wider or brighter, use a white pencil to line the inside of the lower lids.
Your Lips
- Choose a lipstick that lasts. Apply just prior to walking down the aisle. Go easy on the lip liner. Be sure to check that you don’t have lipstick on your teeth.
- Line and fill mouth with a neutral pencil to make lipstick stay on longer.
- To lengthen wearing time of your lipstick, apply a light layer of powder over your lipstick then apply another layer of lipstick
- Keep your powder, mascara, and lipstick in your purse so you can freshen up at a moment notice.
You can have a makeup artist do your wedding day makeup to relieve you from stress and have more time to relax. However, If you enjoy doing your own makeup you can visit a makeup consultant and get some more tips,.
Keep in mind that it’s your day and you are going to look absolutely beautiful!
