Bridal makeup tips
On the day of your wedding you want your makeup to look perfect: not too much and not too little. The most important thing is that you feel good about yourself. The makeup should enhance your beauty, not hide it. Below you will find a few helpful tips to help you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day.
- If you've decided to go for a facial,
do it at least one month prior to your wedding. If you decide to have
another facial done before your wedding, be sure to do it at least two
weeks before the big day.
- If your skin is prone to breakouts, visit a dermatologist several months before the big day
- Drink lots of water! Not only is it refreshing, but it will also flush out your skin.
- Have
your eyebrows plucked and shaped at least a week before your wedding.
Don't pluck them the day of your wedding or you may end up with red
bumps.
- On the day of your wedding, you
want your makeup to look natural. So be sure to blend your makeup well
(go easy on the blush). Many brides think they have to go extra heavy
on the makeup for their photographs. This is not true.
- Consider
hiring a professional MA bridal makeup artist that specializes in
wedding make-up. They have the experience to make sure you look you
best in person and in your photographs.
-
When choosing a lipstick, be sure to select one that lasts. (Before
walking down the aisle, have a friend check for lipstick on your
teeth.) Be sure you do not overline your lips with a dark lipliner.
- If
you've decided to do your own makeup, don't run out the day before your
wedding to choose your makeup. Go to a cosmetic counter about a month
or two before your wedding and have the consultant try different colors
to see what looks best on you. Remember, you want to feel beautiful.
-
Don't forget the waterproof mascara (just in case you get a little
teary-eyed). Or you could get your eyelashes tinted to prevent any
mascara runs.
- Use facial powder to prevent any shine on your face. But be careful not to use too much.
- Keep your lipstick, facial powder and mascara in your purse (in case you need to freshen up).
- If
(I hate to say it) you happen to get a pimple on the day of your
wedding, do NOT pop it. Use Visene (it's suppose to get the red out).
Just dot the pimple with Visene and cover with concealer. Then use
foundation and loose powder.
- Make sure
you wear a button-down shirt when you have your makeup done. This way
you won't have to pull the shirt over your head and take the chance
that you may mess up your makeup. Also, before slipping into your gown,
put a towel or sheet over your face so you won't get any makeup on your
gown.
