Wedding Makeup – Where To Start!

WEdding Makeup bridal

Deciding on wedding makeup is not an easy task. It takes a lot of time and effort to decide on your makeup look for the big day. Moreover, it is tough to describe your makeup artist how you want your makeup to be at the wedding. Here we share some guidelines to help you decide your wedding makeup when consulting with your makeup artist at your bridal trial.

Here we go…..

Skin

Everything starts with your skin. If your skin is good, then your makeup artist will need to put in fewer efforts. And you can get better results. So, the first thing that your makeup artist wants to know is your skin type. Whether your skin is dry or normal or oily, it will help her determine the type of products that would suit your skin.

The best way to have beautiful skin is to drink a lot of water, leading to your wedding. Most makeup artists recommend bride-to-be to start drinking at least three liters of water fifteen days before the wedding. Water cleanses the system from within and brings a natural glow and radiance to the face.

Base

Based on your skin type and tone, your makeup artist will be able to determine the products that will suit you. The base is an essential part of your makeup required for the flawless application of other makeup products. It will be helpful if you can tell your artist about your preferences, like, how much coverage you would want along with the type of finish you like, such as matte finish or glowy.

The type of products you will choose will depend on your skin type and the overall finish you are looking for. For instance, the satin or glowy finish is good for a combination to dry skin. In contrast, brides with super oily skins will be fine with a matte finish.

Cheeks

Your cheeks would be the center of your makeup. Myriads of makeup products will be used to brighten up your cheeks, such as blush, bronzer, contour, and highlight. Let your makeup artist know your preferences beforehand so that they can use the right product.

Professionals recommend avoiding heavy contouring. Heavy contouring and powders can impact your wedding photographs.

Eyes

Once your cheeks are done, it’s your eyes to be taken care of. Beautiful sparkling eyes impact your wedding photographs hugely. Knowing beforehand what kind of eye makeup you hope to achieve can help your makeup artist use the right products.

Whether you are looking for soft eye makeup or smokey one, then comes your eyeliner – tell your artist whether you want a liquid eyeliner or a gel eyeliner. Make sure your artist use only waterproof mascara. Weddings are emotional moments; you never know when you become teary. Waterproof mascara will ensure a perfect look even during those emotional times. Go for fake eyelashes if you are looking for a stronger eye look.

Give your artist an idea about the kind of eyebrows you are looking for, natural or structured, lighter or darker, etc.

Lips

Seeing the length of the day, you can consider choosing matte liquid lipstick. Matte liquid lipstick works really well for a prolonged period. Also, don’t miss to tell your artist whether you are looking for natural shades or deep colors.

Hair

Tell your hairstylist about the kind of hairstyle you are looking for. Avoid making your hair too heavy with accessories, as it may become loose. You can try different hairstyles that could go with your outfit and decide what suits you the best.
