Recently, I saw quite a
lot of wedding advertisings and photos from different channel that make me to
write this article about bridal makeup guideline. Hopefully that can give you a
little bit hints to make the best of you in your big day, I believe that
probably one of the most memorable and important day of any couples’ life,
especially the bride with essential appropriate makeup on the wedding day. Let’s
look at some tips to help you out from stress and panic about being look better
than ever.
Last week, I talked to
two of my colleagues that the brides are always be the spot at any wedding
which was no offence to any grooms out there. It is because the wedding dresses,
accessories, beautiful makeup and hair, all those elements are so much easier
to catch the audiences’ eyes and cameras on the bride. I think none of women
wants to ruin such precious moment by carrying inappropriate look. Hence, I suggest the makeup should be
expressed the natural beauty of bride which can be long-lasting after years to look
back those photos.
Furthermore, I am not
recommended brides to change lots makeup during the big day because that will
look very thick of the base and affect the skin also reduce the interaction
time with audiences who want to share your happiness. Always should be remembered “Less is More”
which is absolutely right from my personal view. Therefore, don’t be too greedy
and change makeup frequently that day, it should have a little bit touch up
with powder once in awhile and I think 3-4 different looks are maximum.
Please do try to follow
below tips to make you the most beautiful bride on the special day.
1.
Start taking care of your skin at least 3 months before the
wedding day. Try your best to have facial once a week at least apart from your regular
daily skin care steps (cleansing/ exfoliating/ toning and moisturizing). For the exfoliating, that should be once or
twice a week. To ensure you have enough sleep, eat healthy and regular
exercises which is not only can help stimulating metabolism, also good body
shape.
2.
The makeup base is very important for the day, you should
choose a long-lasting foundation and apply it very lightly instead of using
water base or mineral base which all wear off in couple hours or even less during
summer weather. To have a natural clean
beauty look, the base is always come first so really should try to use long-lasting
and oil-free matte foundation.
3.
During the day, I recommended to use natural makeup but
that is not meaning not applying any colours after foundation. What I mean is to apply light makeup and try
to focus on one part of face. For example, it either focuses on eyes or cheeks
or lips makeup, you can’t put same colour proportion on each area. However, the evening look should be a little
heavier than normal because of different lighting and flash lights of
cameras. The makeup colour normally has
gone around 20-30%. So go a little more
liberal with blush, pick a slightly darker shade for eye shadow (might with
some sliver/white/glitter if suitable but depends on the bone structure of
bride) and be ever so slightly bolder with lipstick but as said, try not to focus
more than one part.
