Every woman wants to feel and look great during her wedding
day. Aside from the various event preparations, soon-to-be brides also have to
choose the perfect gown, shoes, accessories, hairstyle, and of course, the
makeup. Among all these, it’s usually the makeup that could make or break the
bride’s gorgeous appearance. Here are 10 of the best tips which will ensure
that you’ll look great on your wedding day:
- Pick the best makeup artist if you choose someone else to do it
for you
Unless you have the knowledge and
confidence to do your own makeup on your wedding
day, it is ideal to seek the help of a professional makeup artist. This
would help reduce stress and burden on that special day. Most professionals
often bundle hair styling and doing the makeup on a single contract making it
more cost effective. And when searching, ensure to pick the best by asking for
recommendations or checking the artists’ portfolios.
- Experiment and practice in advance
When you choose to do your own
makeup, it is recommended to experiment and do some practice applications in
advance. This is to ensure precise and quicker application on the wedding day
itself plus, you will be able to notice any needed change or improvement early
on.
- Prepare your face and skin
The most important thing to prepare
is not really your makeup, but it’s actually your face particularly your skin. Try
to enhance
your skin tone several weeks before the wedding, ensure that you are
well-rested before the wedding day, and your face cleaned and pampered before
putting on your makeup.
- Choose waterproof makeup
Waterproof makeup is essential to
prepare for those teary moments and for the unpredictable weather.
- Use a primer and foundation
The two most basic and important
cosmetics you should apply are primer and foundation. The primer helps ensure a
smoother and longer lasting bridal makeup
while the foundation ensures natural blend and of course, show your beauty.
- Hide imperfections with concealers
If you have skin problems and
imperfections like blemishes, facial marks, etc, you can hide them all using
the different types of concealers. Apply concealers only after applying your
foundation.
- Choose to highlight either your eyes or lips
There are two facial assets you can
choose to highlight, either your eyes or lips. And you only need to choose one
to avoid an awkward or clown-like appearance. Experts usually choose
highlighting the eyes.
- Avoid too much powder and don’t use glittery or sparkly makeup
If you don’t want to feel and look
greasy afterwards, be light on using powder. Additionally, avoid using glittery
and sparkly makeup because they can negatively affect your looks on photos.
- Try to photograph your test makeup
When experimenting and preparing
your makeup, it would be best to take and see what you will look like in
photos. Although you can see yourself on the mirror, photos usually produce
different results.
- And be ready for the day’s touch up
And although the makeup you have
used during the ceremony can last throughout the day, it is still advised to
have a small makeup kit just to prepare for emergency or those needed touch
ups.
