On that special wedding day, every bride wants to look her very best and be at her most beautiful, but presenting your best face can be a little daunting. How do you make sure your wedding makeup stays on all day, looking flawless in your wedding photos, and manage to make you feel like a model, but still look like you?

The way you style your wedding day makeup is very important to your overall bridal look. The application process is far more daunting than it is when you are getting ready for a typical day at the office. Truly, there is no other day in your life when you will care so much about the way your lipstick and liners are applied. It makes sense – after all, you are wearing the most beautiful dress that will ever adorn your body, you will have your hair groomed to sheer perfection, and you will be embarking on a journey down the aisle that is symbolic of your journey into married life with your new husband.

Because a wedding is a very important day and many photographs are taken. Looking your best on your day is crucial. Here are some tips on how to apply wedding makeup.

1. Wedding makeup is special because a bride wants to look her best and still look like herself. A natural, dressed up look is a great way to go when applying wedding make up.

Look through bridal magazines to get ideas on how you would like your makeup to look. Do anything too dramatic or trendy. Your wedding pictures will last a very long time.

2.Start with your natural foundation. Apply evenly, check for any lines around your jaw bone. You can mix a little foundation into some face lotion and apply to neck and chest to even out skin tone on your neck and upper body. Be careful not to get any foundation close to your wedding dress.

3.Traditionally, bridal makeup should be a natural for a day time wedding and can be a little more dramatic for an evening wedding.

4.If you are going to wear different makeup than what you usually wear, like long lasting makeup, try it out before your wedding day.

In case the long wear makeup smudges easier, or cracks after wearing a while, you have time to adjust how you wear it before your big day.

5.Do a trial run (or two) of your wedding makeup to make sure you will be able to get it just right.

Ask friends and or family to critique your look.

Take pictures to see how you look with your wedding hair and makeup.

Do these trial runs a week or so before the wedding day so you have time to fix anything you are not completely happy with.

6.If you are not comfortable doing your wedding makeup yourself, ask a friend or family member to go it for you. Just do a trial run to make sure you are happy with how your friend/family member’s work.

You can also hire a wedding makeup artist to apply your wedding makeup. Many offer a free trial run after booking and can create a few different looks for you to choose from. If you need any assistance about your Make Up & Hair do, our Make up Artist & Hair Do stylish ready for you.
