Marriage Makeup Guidance

Leave a Comment
The wedding season is here and every bride wants to look her best. So if you are preparing to tie the knot, here are our top tips to ensure you dazzle all day long.

Practise your whole look beforehand and check it out in the daylight as it will look completely different in artificial light. And take a picture so you can see if you are happy with the result.

Base: Start with a good control which will guarantee a shine-free complexion. Cover any blemishes with a concealer that is slightly lighter than your skin colour or your foundation. Always apply foundation with a sponge or brush. A damp sponge will give you a lighter base and a brush will give slightly heavier coverage. Choose a long-lasting foundation that won’t rub off.

Eyes: Stick to safe colours – browns, taupes and beiges. You can always add a touch of gold or silver under the brow or in the inner corner of your eyes if you want a bit of sparkle. Avoid bright blues and green – these will be too harsh, especially if you are wearing white or cream. Pick a palette of colours to add depth and shade.

Cheeks: Go for a powder rather than a cream blusher as it will last longer. To create the illusion of defined cheeks, apply blusher over the cheekbone and use a slightly darker shade just under the bone.

Lips: Stick to soft pink, peach or nude colours whatever your colouring. Lipstick is back in fashion so try Revlon’s Colour Stay Soft and Smooth in Natural Cashmere.

Others: Finally, decant some of your wedding scent into a small bottle so you can spritz throughout the day. Also pop in some blotting sheets which contain a small amount of powder and are perfect for dabbing off shine.
