Hi Everyone! Welcome to blog!
So, its bridal season here in the south, and every bride wants to look her best, because it is a very special day in her life. So, i have been doing a little bit of bridal makeup recently...so i thought that it would be the best to share with you guys some tips and makeup essentials so that you can look perfect on your wedding.
Makeup Tips
1. Always choose the right shade of foundation. Never go for lighter or darker shades because it may reflect back light and does not look good in the pictures. Also, your face will look in a different color from the rest of your body,which is not what we want on our wedding.
2. Do not apply too much blush, From the name itself you can say that blush is something that has to be subtle or subdued. Always go for soft colors. I think peach would make the best color for any skin tone, but if you have sightly darker skin tone, you can go for a little bright pink or a darker peach. Try to match the color of you blush to the outfit. I don't mean to say wear green or blue blush....:P, but what i mean is do not go for an orange blush of you are wearing a pink dress.
3. Don't go overboard with highlighters as they can make your face look too shiny, and also avoid white highlighters. Instead opt for the ones with warm/yellow undertones. They look great.
4. Make sure that your eyebrows are well groomed, because eyebrows frame your face and face looks dull when they are not groomed well.
5. Opt for matte lipstick or creamy lipsticks and try to stay away from the gloss as much as possible.
Makeup Essentials
1. Always carry your compact with you at all times for touch ups, because you are going to be taking lots of photos and you don't wanna look shiny.
2. Stick to water-proof makeup as much as possible, especially the eye makeup, Just in case you get emotional.
3. Carry blotting sheets/tissue papers to blot any oil/sebum or sweat that formed overtime rather than directly applying powder.
4. Always carry some Q-tips with you in a box and keep it beside at all times. If you have any mascara smudge or lipstick smudge you can clear it out with the Q-tip or an ear-bud.
Mascara can be removed with a Q-tip with ease once its dry rather than when freshly applied.
5. Keep a makeup remover handy while applying makeup, just in case if you have applied excess you can always remove it all and apply it freshly. Also it is very important to remove makeup at the end of the day if you don't want to wake up with breakouts and acne.
Its best to get the bi-phased ones with oil and water which are meant for the eye and lip, can also be used on the face.
General Tips/Pre wedding skin care
*Make sure that you are taking care of you skin. Have a healthy skin care regime and never skip it.
*Make sure to drink a lots and lots of water to keep yourself hydrated.
* Most of the time its a midnight wedding in the south India, so make it a point to regularly apply your under eye cream. Otherwise you will look very dull and tired on your wedding day with over puffed eyes. Dark circles can be covered with a concealer but puffiness cannot be covered. You can also get soothing under eye-patches that work wonders overnight.
* Make sure to cleanse, tone and moisturize everyday, and before moisturizing show some extra love by using a serum that works for skin type. Serum is basically formulated with heavy-duty benefits for face. They will intensify the strength of your regime.
* Take good care of your diet, eats lots of fruits and veggies, which will also benefit your hair growth.
* Oil your hair regularly and give the right amount of conditioning.
