Here are some tips to help prevent a frantic morning and to make sure you look and feel your absolute best.
- Go through magazines to help you decide how you want your wedding makeup to look before you meet with a makeup artist or purchase any cosmetics.
- If you prefer to do your own wedding makeup, do have a makeup lesson by a wedding makeup artist three to nine months prior to the wedding date.
- Three to nine months before the wedding date have a preview makeover with a wedding makeup artist. If you are not able to see the makeup artist in person (i.e. you're getting married out of town), ask for their references and samples (photographs) of their work.
- Purchase the lipstick and lipliner to keep in a purse for the whole day.
- For blush and lipstick, blondes should go with pink shades, brunettes with peach, and red heads should go with bronze.
- Apply a light color all over the lid. Use a darker shade for your upper, outer lid.
- For waterproof eyes, wear waterproof mascara, eyeshadow base and eyeliner sealant. For kiss-proof lips, use a sealant over your lipstick. Use plenty of powder to avoid a shiny face.
- Give some thought to your eyebrows. Properly groomed and shaped brows help enhance and add expression to the face and are without doubt an essential step to completing any wedding makeup application.
- To apply blush, use a round tip blush brush and place it on the apple of the cheek. Blend well.
- If you have an olive complexion, avoid shades of gray.If you have a pale complexion, stay away from bright, vibrant colors.
- Drink plenty of water the week before your wedding, and get as much rest as possible.
- Start using a nail strengthening treatment now. It’s also a good time to lose nasty nail habits like biting and polish-peeling!
- Make sure that your makeup foundation is the correct color. If you have been tanning or have lost a tan since you purchased your foundation you will need to have it adjusted.
- Do arrange to have a relaxed morning. Sit back, relax, knowing you will look and feel your best, and have a beautiful day.
Note: Don't confuse a wedding hairstylist with a wedding make up artist, a professional wedding make up artist is specifically trained and should have the credentials to prove it.
