Which wedding makeup idea you go for is a totally personal decision – but it can be a difficult to make. That said, there are a few things you can do to make your choice that little bit easier. Consider things like your wedding season, the style of your wedding venue and what your wedding dress looks like. All of these factors will influence your final makeup look. However, choose something that makes you feel beautiful and confident. That’s the most important thing.
Below are 4 Wedding Makeup Ideas for the Bride
Which Foundation is Best for me?
Unless you already have your ideal base, we suggest investing in the best foundation your budget allows. Specifically tailored to your skin type, whether oily, dry or combination. For oily skin I recommend that your best bet is to use an oil-free liquid foundation or mineral foundation. If your skin is naturally quite dry, try to stay away from powder products as they can accentuate dry skin and texture.
Should I Wear a Blusher and\or Bronzer?
Even if you don’t normally wear blusher, think about adding some to your bridal look. Forget the whole ‘blushing bride’ cliché – the reason is that a delicate wash of colour on your cheeks looks good in photos. You could also look at adding warmth through bronzer – but take some time for practice. Contouring and bronzing the skin is one of the many techniques brides try to do, and without practice, it can be placed in the wrong areas of the face.
How to Pick the Right Lipstick for your Makeup
Lipsticks are the finishing touch to a beautiful face of makeup, and you want to make sure you’re making the right decision. It’s really trial and error until you find ‘the one’ so pucker up and get testing. There are many factors to consider like natural lip colour, complexion and lip shape. I personally love a natural lip on a bride. It’s low maintenance, easy to apply and flattering for all. Also, teaming your lipstick with a matching lip liner is a great little tip to improve it’s longevity. Using your lip liner colour over your entire lip before applying lipstick.
Should I Wear False Lashes?
Applying false lashes can seem a little daunting but if you want to elevate your eye makeup to the next level they can create a beautiful fluttery look. Try opting for individual or corner lashes – ‘not only are they easier to apply, they also give a far more natural end result. Just add a couple of strategically placed individual lashes on the outer corners of your eyes, it can make a huge difference.
