Disaster-Proof Your Wedding Look
Your wedding is the magical sealing of your love. Like any other bride-to-be, you wish everything to run smoothly (if not perfectly), to have the great dress, fantastic band, delicious food, and above all, meticulous makeup. Every bride strives to look flawless on her wedding photos, and of course the makeup which would make her stand out from the crowd. In order to avoid any makeup mishaps, and to have a dazzling wedding without having to worry about your mascara smudging your face, here are the tips on how to achieve that.
-
Do a quality prep
The foundation is not designed to cover it all. If you happen to have dry and damaged skin, you should start skin prep months prior to your wedding day. Healthy skin is the base of having a quality makeup. Start by moisturizing it daily, going to facials regularly, even try a facial massage to calm your skin. You won’t have to conceal anything if you have clean and nurtured skin. So, there won’t be a need for heavy foundation covering, pigment and color correction and long blending. Beautifying treatments will certainly illuminate and firm your complexion.
-
Don’t get entangled into beauty trends
This is a big no-no for your wedding day. The point is to look natural and yourself. Many celebrities change their appearances quite often, and the trends that are popular now and which suit them, just might not work for you. The worst case scenario is to experiment on your wedding day. You want to look at your photos after ten years and reminiscence on how natural and beautiful you were, and not to laugh about being a Kim Kardashian lookalike.
-
Opt for enhancing the lashes
Applying excessive mascara in order to make your eyes stand out, can lead to potential disaster. Have in mind that there will be tears, and sometimes even the waterproof mascara can ruin your day. If you wish to have dramatic eyes, then you opt for eyelast extensions. When attached accordingly by a professional, tears won’t weaken the glue and if you get emotional and cry as much as you wish, the lashes won’t let you down, neither ruin your look. Above all, you will look stunning and natural. Make sure that you attach them one week before in order to get used to them and get comfortable wearing them.
-
Set up a trial
You might be professional when it comes to putting your night-out makeup. However, when it comes to your own special day, there can be no mistakes. If you already know how to do your makeup like a pro, then go for it, but you had better leave it all to the professionals. Schedule a trial session with a professional makeup and hair artist at least 4 months ahead, in order to see what color palette or hairstyle best fits your wedding dress and theme. By doing that in advance you could continue planning other things calming, knowing that you are in good hands.
-
Juice up your lips
Even if you absolutely adore red lipstick, unless you have plain eyeshadow, then you should definitely skip it. And then again, you surely don’t want to leave stains on your dress or on your guests since everybody will be congratulating and hugging you. Go for a pale pink-colored lipstick or just wear shiny lip gloss or lip balm in the peach shade. Don’t forget to pack the lipstick, because there will be kissing, champagne toasting, cake tasting, and the lip makeup won’t last for hours.
-
Keep it simple
Let’s just wrap up with a few details that can ruin your wedding look. Firstly, don’t over-tan your skin. Many brides want to have tanner skin and not look pale in a wedding dress but bear in mind that you are not going to a tropical beach, so go easy with tanning. Next, use a nice peachy nail polish and keep your manicure simple and neat. You don’t need long falsies because the focus is on your face and practicality. Last but not least, don’t go for dark smoky-eyes makeup. Eye makeup that is too smoky can cast a shadow around the eyes in the photos.
Looking glamorous and lush is perfectly possible to achieve with subtle makeup and soft colors. Good foundation, pinkish blush, and long lashes can say it all.
