Makeup Tips for your Special Day!- Wedding

So I know many people get married in these upcoming months since it's getting warmer. Here are some tips for your makeup: 

Wedding makeup is simple and neutral for the most parts, however, it is one of the hardest makeup looks to do because it has to looks perfect in person and on camera the entire day. It has to survive hugs, kisses and tears! 

The goal is to bring out your best features. 

Foundation: 

It is very important that you try your foundation before that day. You will be able to see how your skin looks throughout the day. Most imporantly, take a photo with the foundation on because every foundation reflects light differently. This is why sometimes people's face looks whiter than the rest of their body in photos. Therefore, take a photo with flash and no flash and even in natural lighting if possible. 

Of course you should be wearing a face primer before applying your concealer and foundation. If you have oily skin apply transluscent powder lightly over your foundation. 

Highlight:

You do not want to skip highlight on this day, this will give you that natural glow especially in the photos because it will attract the light. Apply highlight to the top of your cheekbones, and near the tear duct.

Try something like MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish or my favorite MAC's Iridescent loose powder (Silver Dusk for a cool skin tone and Golden Bronze for a warmer skin tone) 

Blush: 

Try a peachy pink color to add a natural color to your cheeks. NARS Blush in Orgasm is a great example and works with many different skin tones.

Eyes: 

Wear an eye primer to help your eyeshadow stay in place throughout the day, this will avoid any creasing. 

Mascara must be waterproof to avoid looking like a raccon. I recommend Make Up For Ever's waterproof smokey eye mascara. This works great!!! And does not come off.

You will also want to add some natural looking false lashes to make your eyes stand out especially in the photos. In photos natural lashes tend to disapear therefore, adding some false ones will help bring out your eyes. 

Lips:

You will need a lip liner to help your lipstick stay and place and avoid it from bleeding. Your lipstick should be long lasting.

Until next time,
