There are three main points to consider when planning the makeup for brides to be.

The first is the lips, second eyes and the third is the flawless skin. But how do we get all of these? Read on.

Skin

You will need a flawless base of foundation in order to get the right look for your skin. Makeup for brides can be your normal makeup but you may want to invest in some high quality products for your big day.

Contouring your face and highlighting your features is key especially when it comes to the photos. When you have your photos done professionally you will want to keep your face looking well colored otherwise it will look flushed. The key areas are the jaw line, under the cheek bones, the temples and the sides of the nose. Remember to use blusher to highlight the nose and cheekbones too.

One way to get away from blotchy makeup is to use the makeup for brides secret, airbrushing. This is where the new makeup is literally airbrushed on and will stay in place for the duration of your wedding. It will look good in the photos and in real life too.

Eyes

Because there are so many different types of brides, this will vary on what sort of eye look the makeup for brides are going to go for. Some brides would prefer a more Asian look to their eyes while others go for a natural look. All the same there is one factor that links them all and that is eye liner. The eye liner should be applied from the corner of the eye outwards and should be placed in the rim of the eye for an eye popping look. Use arched eyebrows and pearly creams to make the eyes open up more.

Lips

The key to any makeup for brides guide is the lips. These are going to be used a lot on your big day whether its kissing your new groom or the hundreds of well wishers. The best thing to do is to highlight them and contour them so they stand out. One tip is to use pearly eye shadow and place it in the center of the lips so that the light shines off and creates a kissable pout.

Have you just announced your wedding? You must be so excited! The thrill of planning everything from start to finish, finding the perfect dress, picking the right shoes and of course, sorting your hair and wedding make up. With so much pressure is it easier to hire a wedding make up artist for the day?

There is so much to think about when you plan a wedding that the wedding make up is usually last on your mind so here are a few tips. What time of day are you going to be getting married? You’ll need to think about day/evening make up when you start applying but be sure not to overdo it. On your big day you want it all to look natural.

If you want your face to look its best then you should have a facial a few weeks before hand. Don’t have it one any sooner than two weeks in case something goes wrong or you end up with an outbreak of zits! You can also think about preparing other parts of your face before your big day too.

Try to get your eyebrows waxed or plucked a week before the wedding (to let the redness go down) and start looking around for the right make up. I know weddings cost a lot but the wedding make up should be really good quality so it lasts all day (you don’t want the lipstick to wear off half way through the photos)!

The one essential that you will need to complete your wedding make up is waterproof mascara. This allows you to get as teary eyed as you like without worrying about your mascara covering your face. I hope you have a fantastic day and that your wedding make up stays fresh for all the photos!
