Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You want to look and feel amazing on this special occasion. Bridal Makeup can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. With these simple tips, you can look stunning without breaking a sweat — no matter what your skin type or natural beauty is.
Whether you want to go for a natural beauty with minimal makeup, or if you prefer a dramatic transformation, here are some tips for perfecting your bridal look in no time at all!
Bridal Makeup Tips
Prep Your Face
Before you get started, make sure your skin is prepped and ready for the day. This means exfoliating with a gentle scrub, moisturizing with a light lotion, and applying a primer to any problem areas to create a smooth surface for makeup application.
Fill In Your Brows
Brows frame your face and make all the difference in your makeup look. To fill them in, use an angled brush dipped in brow cream or powder. Brush through your brows to get an even fill and shape them to match your desired look.
Moisturize Your Lips
To keep your lips from looking dry and cracked on your wedding day, apply a moisturizer before lipstick application. If you’re going for a natural look, opt for a balm rather than lip gloss for a subtle shine that reflects the natural light around you. If you prefer dramatic makeup, add some shimmer or highlighter over the product to add some glamour— just be sure to blend well so it looks natural on camera!
Highlight Your Eyes
For something other than traditional eye shadow colors, choose shades of gold or copper to highlight the sparkles in your
Skin Care
The beauty of your skin is the foundation of your wedding day look. It starts with a proper regimen of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.
Don’t forget to invest in a good skincare routine. This will help you maintain and protect your skin and reduce the need for makeup later on down the line.
If you have dry skin, try using a heavy cream or lotion as opposed to a water-based moisturizer. This will provide more hydration without making your skin oily or shiny during the rest of the day.
Similarly, if you have oily skin use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that won’t clog pores and cause breakouts throughout the day.
You should also consider finding out what type of acne medication is best for you before pursuing any new treatments that may lead to breakouts on your big day.
Foundation
Everyone has a different natural skin type, so what works for one person may not work for another. In order to figure out which foundation is best for you, try applying a few different types on your jawline and see which one blends seamlessly with your skin.
Lighter foundations are great for people with dry skin because they can create a nice matte finish. Oilier skin types may use a thicker, oil-based foundation to better blend in with their natural oils and give a more matte finish.
No matter what your skin type is, use a light hand when applying foundation so it’s not noticeable. Remember: less is more!
Eyeshadow
The most important thing to remember about eyeshadow is that your wedding day is not the time to try out a new color. Instead, choose something you know will look great on you.
For women with fair skin, go for an eyeshadow in a champagne or rosy-gold hue. If you have darker skin, choose an eyeshadow in a warm brown or bronze hue.
You can also add depth and dimension to your wedding day look by choosing an eyeshadow with more than one color. For example, if you’re going for a natural look, try using an earthy tone like light brown and dark brown to define your eye shape and add some drama to the corners of your eyes while still maintaining a natural beauty.
False Lashes
False lashes are a great way to achieve a dramatic makeup look. Plus, they last all day long and can be used as many times as you want.
If you’re worried about applying false lashes at the wedding, know that they’re not as hard as they seem! In this blog post, we’ll give you an easy-to-follow false lash tutorial to make your eyes look their best on your big day.
Lipstick and Nails Bridal Makeup.
If you want a natural look with minimal makeup, then you should wear some lipstick and nail polish.
For your wedding day, don’t wear anything too dark or bright because it might not match the mood of the wedding. Stick with a natural lip color that matches your skin tone, as well as any other neutral tones, such as blush and eyeshadow.
If you have a lot of freckles on your face or moles, avoid wearing any makeup at all because it can make them more prominent on camera. Also try to stay away from stripes and patterns on your nails for a more classic look.
