Making the myriad decisions before your wedding is such a difficult task. Firstly saying “I Do” was such a big decision, but the other little things that you need to decide on are not really that little. For example, your wedding theme, the design of your wedding invite, the decor at your wedding venue, and mostly your makeup and hair which is a major part of your wedding look.  Well for the rest, we have been writing and will write more but for now, we shall help out the bride-to-be with a few tips on Bridal makeup.

1.      Begin with your environment

Consider the climate before applying makeup. If you are getting married in summer, it would be best to avoid oil-based makeup. Keep blotting sheets on hand. Include sun protection in your makeup especially if your wedding venue is outdoors. While applying makeup, ensure you have adequate natural light else use a very bright lamp.  Be seated at eye level with your makeup artist to get the best results as he works on your makeup.

2.     Makeup for Pictures

Use a little more makeup than you normally would as you wouldn’t want to look washed out in your wedding pictures. The camera and lights tone down your makeup, therefore, it is essential to highlight and apply just a little more makeup for your special day. A good makeup artist would be aware of this fact.

3.     Use a primer

The utility and effectiveness of this product are often underestimated but it is the best to use for long lasting makeup. It allows for smoother final makeup and flawless look. The primer goes on after the cleansing routine and before the foundation application.  It can be used on all skin types.

4.     Apply foundation with a sponge or brush

Ask you makeup artist to ensure that she selects a foundation that matches with your neck and not your cheek. Using a sponge or brush for applying foundation will result in a smoother finish rather than using fingers which can get smudgy. The outcome with a brush or sponge is more natural and blends well, resulting in a flawless wedding picture.

5.     Getting the best out of  your  concealer 

A concealer is meant to cover the areas with a different colored skin tone like under eyes, blemishes, and marks. You can use a concealer before or after applying the foundation depending on how much coverage you need. Discuss with your makeup artist about this. Apply concealer before foundation, if you require minimum coverage and after if you require more. Do not apply concealer over powder foundation as it can cause streaking.

9.     Get that exact blush line

Smile! Literally, all you have to do is smile to get your blush line. Where your cheeks pop out, well, that is where to place your blush. When your makeup artist applies the blush expertly, you’ll get a nice facelift and it adds to your radiance. Choose a shade of pink blush slightly darker than your skin.

10.     Contouring 

Define your features by lightly contouring below your cheekbones. Use a little bit of highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones to complete the look.

11.     Enhance your eyebrows

Prior to the wedding get your brows shaped professionally. They frame your eyes and draw attention to them. Ask your makeup artist to use a brow pencil to fill in your eyebrows. Choose a colour that is a shade lighter than your brow colour.

12.     Enhance your eyes

Start working from the outside of your eyes with darker eyeshadows and move inwards with lighter and brighter eyeshadows. This makes them look big and bright.

Some touch-up and few life savers are a must in your vanity bag. Do not forget to include your lipstick, some tissue papers, powder compact, and cotton swabs. Use the cotton swabs to dab off excess makeup from the corners of your eyes when necessary.

20.     Basic precautions 

Do not try to change your look drastically with makeup. Keep your look as close to your original self, only a little more enhanced. Remember you are the bride. You already look beautiful and radiant. Makeup is only used to enhance that beauty.

       A good rule to go by when planning your bridal make is to identify your best feature and work on accentuating it. It could be your eyes or lips or even skin. Prior to the wedding get plenty fresh air, exercise gently to get your circulation up, stick to a skin care routine, eat well, keep yourself well hydrated and don’t try any new treatments one month from the wedding. Lastly, don’t forget to flash that smile which is the best makeup for any bride on her wedding day!
