Your wedding day should run as smoothly as possible. You don’t want to be running around on the day making sure the food is hot and caterers are doing their work. Most importantly you want to be sure that your makeup is perfect on the day. No bride wants to be thinking every couple of minutes that it is time to run off to the bathroom and touch up their lipstick and mascara. Your wedding day should be enjoyed 100% without hassling about makeup.
Some brides will prefer to go to a professional wedding makeup artist and others will want to do this themself. You may have noticed how Kate Middleton did her own eye makeup to create the natural look and she did this really well. This is a matter of preference. You may want to stand out more on your big day.
Basic wedding makeup ideas
- Whether you are looking for natural wedding makeup or something more dramatic always choose a mascara that is waterproof. Chances are that there will be a couple of tears shed and this is where this type of mascara is useful.
- When it comes to blush fairer skins will go with a pink tone and darker ones a heavier one.
- Don’t use dark eyeliner. Stick with a charcoal or navy.
- Don’t forget to blend everything in. This also applies to the eyes because this is where the camera will focus on the most.
- If you have been out of the sun use a bronze toner and spray on evenly to the neck area.
- Makeup artist recommend that you use a brighter tone on the lips.
Wedding eye makeup to show off
- This is something you must practice before the big day or go off to a makeup artist and discuss in length what it is you are looking for. He or she can try a few shades which you can choose from.
- Use your favorite eye cream to take away all the dark circles and rings under your eyes.
- A light eye shadow is going to be your best because this will suit the photos best. It can be a little darker if you have darker skin.
- The mascara should be waterproof and you could also try curling your eyelashes for an effect.
- The natural look for your wedding day is going to look a lot better. Rather focus on your dress if you want to be dramatic.
- Stick with product you know because you don’t want to be carrying an ointment around with you all day because you have a red eye. If you have to get new mascara then try this out beforehand.
What about the lips?
One thing that you should focus on more are the lips. This will do a lot for your photo at the end of the day. To start off with you will have to prepare your lips with a good exfoliator. Do this on a daily basis as the wedding draws closer. This will remove the dead skin cells and create a smooth effect. After you have done this add a moisturizer. This you add before actually putting on the lipstick. Finding something that is long-lasting is vital. It should also be natural, but create a shine.
