Bridal makeup needs to make you feel confident, beautiful, and
radiant. The makeup you choose needs to accentuate your best features both on your wedding day and in your wedding photographs. Some factors that you should take into account when deciding on your prefect bridal makeup will include your colourings and facial structure, your wedding's colour theme, cultural traditions, time of ceremony, your individual preferences and much more.
Skin should be a focus in all bridal makeup. Foundations and
concealers should hide imperfections and give you a natural glow.
Apply them all over to balance skin tone and in proper steps to
encourage longevity without appearing cakey or thick. Bring blotting papers or loose powder with you on the wedding day and use throughout. Pressed powders are not the best choice as they will build up on the skin, and may appear dry and flaky. Once the canvas is prepared the rest of your bridal makeup can focus on drawing attention to your best features.
In order to help your skin be at its best for your day remember to
drink plenty of water and stay away from caffeinated beverages or too much alcohol as they will dehydrate you. If planning to tan prior to the wedding remember to take precautions by building your tan gradually so that you may prevent peeling or burning. It is always a great idea to get facial treatments starting at about a year or six months prior to your wedding date. Do not change your skin's routine or get a facial treatment one week before your wedding it could disrupt your skin's balance and leave it irritated.
You want your memories to transcend the latest fashion trends. Opt for timeless and classic looks that won't out date your bridal photographs. Your bridal makeup will depend greatly on your features, and individual taste. Nonetheless, an important step for almost all is to dab a small amount of champagne, gold or light highlight shimmer in the inner corner of the eyes and just underneath the brow. This technique accents the eyes beautifully and gives them more radiance in photographs.
Remember planning your wedding makeup should be fun. You should always feel comfortable with your bridal look and your bridal makeup artist. After all you want to enjoy the entire process from the getting ready to the I do!
