If you are getting married this spring, you want your makeup to be flawless so that you will glow in your cherished wedding photos. Here are some tips to help you get the best look on your wedding day while staying true to your own style and feeling comfortable.
Before the big day, have a makeup trial run to decide on the look you want. Have someone take a picture to refresh the makeup artist’s memory on your wedding day.
One common mistake that brides make is stepping too far outside their comfort zones. Choose a makeup look that feels comfortable to you. Your makeup artist can do a beautiful job, but if you don’t feel comfortable, it will show in your wedding photos.
You want to have glowing skin when you have your wedding pictures taken. Apply an illuminating primer before your face makeup to give your skin a healthy flush.
Choose the right lip color. Rose is a great choice for a wedding. Red is another good option if that is the color you normally wear. If you never wear red lipstick, your wedding day is not the time to start.
If you decide to contour your makeup on your wedding day, use matte products. Makeup with shimmer doesn’t work with contouring techniques.
Avoid glitter on your wedding day. If you want to brighten your eyes and make them sparkle, use a soft shimmer eye shadow. The light will catch the shimmer and make your eyes sparkle.
Use a setting spray to set your makeup and make it last longer.
After you have your makeup done, you won’t be set for the rest of the evening. You will need to take a few products along with you for touchups. Pack a translucent powder to minimize shine, concealer, blush, and lipstick. You can fit all of these in a clutch.
Relax and enjoy yourself. If you follow these tips, you will shine in your wedding photos.
