If you are starting to think about your make up on the wedding day, it is too late. Looking good on the most important day of your life is not only about applying the right make up in the right manner. It is about how your skin looks naturally and how you feel about it inside.
Before the Wedding Day
The preparation of the wedding day involves ensuring that you skin looks radiant on the day of the wedding. Here are some tips to ensure that you do not have to bother about hiding zits and marks so that you can concentrate on accentuating your assets.
- Avoid food that gives you an oily skin that can cause rashes or swelling. Deep fried foods and junk foods are a big no-no.
- Make sure that you drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Hydrated skin always glows from within.
- If you are interested in coloring your hair for the day, it needs to be done about a week before the wedding day for the color to settle in.
- Any beauty treatments like a facial massage, eyebrow shaping or hair removal should also be done a few days before so that you can handle any side effects or rashes that may just erupt suddenly.
- A few nights before the wedding, remove all make up before retiring for the day and apply a light moisturizer to make the skin supple.
Makeup Tips for the Wedding Day
Make sure that the lighting in the place that you are doing your make up is just right. You need to ensure that light falls on the mirror that you are using.
Start by using the concealer to hide any blemishes or marks. Make sure that you choose foundation that matches your skin tone so that it does not look artificial. Spread the foundation evenly in order to ensure that there are no smudgy patches. Dab some translucent powder on your skin to ensure that the makeup stays for longer.
Eye makeup involves using the mascara, eye shadow and the eye liner. Eyeliners make your eyes look larger and more beautiful. Do not try a style that you have never used before. The safest color to use is black. Apply a thin line on your eyelid, allowing it to get slightly thicker as you move outwards. A large number of brides tend to overdo the eye shadow. Try and use a light shade but avoid something that makes you look paler. Mascara accentuates your lashes that you can flutter at your beau. For those who have small lashes, using artificial ones is also an option.
The lip color that you use should match your dress. There are all sorts of hues that you can choose from. In addition to that you should also highlight your lips with a lip liner to define the lips. Try and focus on either the lips or the eyes and underplay the other with neutral colors. A small amount of pink or peach blusher will give you a coy look.
Use waterproof eye makeup to ensure that it does not run off due to the heat or in case you get sentimental. Similarly, use long lasting lip color and appoint a spot checker who can tell you when you need to dab up. If you are using any new brand of cosmetics, do test run to ensure that you are not allergic to any ingredient.
At the end of the day – relax. A relaxed and calm bride is a beautiful bride. Check out some more ideas for bridal makeup at the makeup and beauty blog.
