Let’s “Dew” this- ladies, when choosing a makeup look for your wedding day, don’t forget the different makeup finishes. You can opt for a matte or dewy look and it will make all the difference based on your skin type. For oily skin, opt for a matte finish foundation base. This will help keep you looking flawless in your wedding photos. Oh- and don’t forget the finishing powder. Alternatively, if you have dry skin, opt for a dewy foundation base to give your skin the movie star glow.
We have included the following two bridal makeup looks for you. The left reflects a more dewy finish and the one on the right is a more matte finish. Which is your favorite?
Makeup Artist Madness- don’t leave finding the right makeup artist to the very end. Brides tend to get so wrapped up in making sure the wedding is perfect, they tend to neglect the details of the wedding day look. Don’t be that girl. Book several different makeup artists for events or weddings you plan to attend before your big day. Test them out and choose which one understands your face and style most. Many makeup cosmetics companies will allow you a free makeup application as long as you buy a certain amount in beauty products from them. Once you have found the right one. Test your wedding day look at least two times before your big day. Anyone could apply makeup on the first time and make it look good, make sure you are dealing with a pro.
Make sure your parents recognize you- we can’t stress this next tip enough. As much as you would like to look as glam as possible on your wedding day, keep in mind-less is more. You don’t want to look back on your wedding photos 30 years from now and not recognize yourself. Opt for a makeup look that is both glam, but natural. On your wedding day, you want your beauty to shine and inspire others. Think twice about the trendy new hot red lipstick shade and consider something a bit more suitable with your current lip shade. As always, makeup is meant to enhance, not hide your true beauty.
Here are two stunning bridal makeup looks. One is a bit subtle, meant for brides wanting a natural look, while the other exudes glamour for the bride with dramatic flair.
Above all else, go with the look that will give you the most confidence on your wedding day. All brides dream of that flawless airbrushed look on their special day, and there is no reason why that dream can’t become a reality. Now smile, you look amazing!
