If there is one day in your life when makeup matters more than ever, it’s your wedding day! Even if you are a makeup wizard, bridal makeup is nothing like everyday looks because:
- it has to be perfect for cameras and in person;
- it has to last through any weather (rain or shine) for hours and look just as perfect as the minute you put it on;
- bridal makeup must be resistant to tears and hugs (because even if you are not a cryer, there will be at least one person crying the tears of happiness at your wedding).
Most brides opt in for a professional makeup session that is a wise decision.
Whether you have your bridal makeup done by someone else or do it yourself, airbrush is your best friend. This video tutorial will demonstrate benefits of airbrush as well as give you great ideas on products and tools to invest into:Things to Consider Based on Your Skin Tone
Bridal Makeup Tips for Fair Skin
- Choose your eyeshadow palette carefully: consider pale pink, cocoa or tan colors that are very flattering in combination with fair skin.
- Apply concealer generously: your light skin tone should look flawless through sweat, tears and other unpredictable circumstances. Even though generous amount of concealer is recommended, do not excess: you would be highlighting the area you are trying to hide.
- Contour your face with neutral, natural looking blush/bronzers and make sure to do it well: good contouring equals beautiful wedding photos.
Bridal Makeup Tips for Dark Skin
- Dark skin is less prone to the blackheads and pimples as well as takes sun exposure better (without excessive redness in most cases), but on your wedding day you should pay just as much attention to the perfection of your skin tone as brides with fair skin: don’t leave your concealer and primer untouched.
- Brown, copper and burgundy are popular color choices for eye makeup among brides with darker skin tones, but don’t choose your palette solely based on your skin tone. Use this cheat sheet to pick a great option based on the color of your eyes.
