It's your day! You've got the perfect dress, veil, and shoes ? now you need the perfect makeup. Here are some Dos and Don't tips to help you on your very special day.
Do
Use a professional makeup artist if possible. Have a pre-wedding consultation so your makeup artist already knows what you want
If you decide to do your own makeup then visit the cosmetic counter at least a month before your wedding and have the consultant try different colors to see what looks best on you
Do your makeup before dressing
Have your makeup done as close to the ceremony as possible
Have a facial two weeks prior to your wedding. If you've not had facials in the past we would recommend you start this process 3-4 months prior to your wedding.
Use a primer before applying your foundation. This will make your foundation last longer. It is also a good idea to use an eye primer to eliminate shadow creasing
Make certain your foundation is an exact match to your skin tone
Use powdered rice papers to eliminate any shine
Use a light to medium lipstick that is long wearing. If you will be having black and white photos then add a layer of lip gloss
Exfoliating your lips will result in your lipstick lasting longer
Use translucent powder to set your makeup
Blend, blend, and blend again to make sure all your makeup is smooth and even.
If you are prone to red eyes use eye drops prior to the ceremony
Use water proof mascara just incase the tears of joy appear
Charcoal, navy, or mahogany are your best options for eyeliner. Black or brown may look too severe, especially if your wedding will be held during the daytime and/or outdoors.
When applying your makeup wear a button shirt that can be easily removed when its time to dress.
Place a towel over your head prior to slipping into your gown to avoid getting makeup on your gown.
Don't forget your blush! A pop of color on your cheeks is like an instant facelift.
If you've had your hair professionally done and you will be removing your veil, then have the stylist show your mom or bridesmaids how to fix your style.
A week before your wedding rehearse your makeup ? practice, practice, and practice some more, until you perfect the look you want for your wedding day.
Treat nails at least a week prior to your wedding to ensure you are not dealing with ragged or dry cuticles
If your wearing sandals then about a month before your wedding start your foot treatment so your feet look as good as the rest of you.Do Notes
Do not do your own makeup. Have a professional makeup artist or a friend do it. Chances are you've got a bit of the jitters with all the excitement which could result in you having difficulties doing your own makeup
Don't make your foundation thick like a mask. Light for overall eveness is best.
Don't use shiny or shimmering products on dry skin
Don't overuse lip gloss
Don't have a facial within the previous 48 hours of your wedding. Facials can occasionally have unexpected results and you don't need any surprises.
