Bridal Makeup Tips

Bridal Makeup Tips
Every bride wants to look her best on the wedding day. Ideally, the preparations and grooming sessions start a few months earlier. To look gorgeous on the main day is not an easy task and requires more than a day's effort. Diet and fitness training must be complimented to the application of cosmetics. One of the major things you have to take into consideration is that your skin must have a natural glow. Drinking water and avoiding consumption of junk food is the first step. Using good products on your skin and exfoliating is going to make you the world's prettiest bride. One of the biggest worries is emotions running high and makeup running down your cheeks! This could definitely result in a disaster. # Check your face in an adequately lighted area to see if you have any tan marks on your neck or face. If you do find patches of different colors on your body then go for tan removal sessions. Do not wait until last day or rely on instant tan removers. They may not work and in worse case scenarios, they might cause skin irritations.
# For a basic look, apply a brown eye shadow on the eyelids and white or silver on the outer sides. Avoid using pink if you are fair, as this makes you appear pale. The eyes also look smaller. Instead, try on bronze, dark brown or maroon shades.
# Eyeliners are a must since they make your eyes look bigger and more beautiful. The safest color to use is black. Apply a thin coat of liner starting from the edge of your eyes and make it thicker along the curve. You can use a silver or white eye pencil along the lower eye line. Use waterproof eyeliners.
# Mascara must also be waterproof and basic colors such as black or neutral are preferred. You may opt for navy blue if it complements your dress. Avoid being outrageous!
# Match your lipstick with your dress. Hues and shades of crimson and pink will enhance the poutiness and color of your lips. Make sure it blends well with the colored dye on your dress. Go in a for a lip liner that merges with the lipstick color. This gives it a soft and glossy look which looks good in photographs as well. It is believed that thinner and smaller lips look more sensuous with light lip colors while fuller lips become more prominent with deeper shades.Makeup is surprisingly often an overlooked item when planning your dream shaadi.

Makeup is surprisingly often an overlooked item when planning your dream shaadi. Brides always focus on planning their outfits, jewellery, hair and mehndi but don’t realise that, to look amazingly stunning on their wedding day they really need to have good makeup applied by a professional. Bridal make up by its very nature is a unique requirement and your make up regime for the big day needs careful thought and consideration. Our bridal beauty consultant, Lubna Rafiq, of Art Of Beauty shares some of bridal beauty insights with you… My personal approach to make-up for brides is one of corrective, subtle make-up that enhances the bride’s best features and makes her look naturally radiant and beautiful on her big day. The first thing people notice when they look at a bride – is how stunning and radiant she looks, not her makeup itself.

It is essential to get makeup perfectly flawless by a renowned beautician. Here are some useful tips related to it.

Get Facials

Never get facial a day before the wedding or at that day. Likewise pluck or wax eyebrows at least two days before the occasion

Don’t use alpha hydroxy or retin a cream a day before the wedding.

Cleanse

Before putting makeup the skin must be prepared by deeply cleansing and then moisturizing it 15 to 20 minutes before applying base.

Use concealar in very small amount, it can highlight the part of face it is heavily applied.

The shade of the foundation and concealer should be similar.

Base

Apply foundation according to the tone of the skin. Don’t skip the neck, arms and feet. For oily skin use water based formula and dab gently with a loose powder to absorb extra oil and enhance its staying power. Use pigmented cream foundation then apply powder base over it.

Blusher

Powder based blush is the most suitable of all. Ask the bride to smile then cover the area that naturally blushes. Keep it light otherwise it will look too artificial.

Light contouring of nose and face line is necessary. It should be done with the shades of browns not pinks.
