Makeup Tips: Wedding Makeup Tips


On your big day, you want to look amazing, but remain true to yourself.  Letting someone else's style dominate your wedding can make you look like a stranger in your wedding photos.  However, even if you don't generally wear makeup, you should allow yourself to indulge just this once.  Makeup can help to make your skin glow flawlessly for the camera.  Try  following these wedding makeup tips for a great look on your special day.

When doing the makeup for your wedding, plan ahead.  This allows you to choose from a variety of looks and know just what you want.  Experiment with a variety of colors and shades, as well as different hairstyles to go with them.  You want the hair and makeup for wedding to be perfect.

A transparent primer between your skin and foundation can help the makeup stay on, the colors remain true, and keeps makeup out of your pores, preventing unsightly blemishes later on.   A natural look around the eyes can be created with smudgable powder eyeliner.  You should avoid a harsh line.  Dramatic evening looks are not usually appropriate for a wedding atmosphere.  Choose your palette carefully.  Trendy colors can make the photos look outdated in years to come.  Grays and extremely bright colors can make your skin look washed out or overpower your face in photographs.  Neutrals, on the other hand, play up the natural beauty of your skin tone.

Lip liner can frame your lips and create an elegant shape to your mouth.  However, be sure not to use a very dark color.  This could create a harsh line around your lips.  The best results with lip color are obtained with a brush.  A small amount of gloss over the lip color creates a wonderful glow effect.  

Go light on the tanning.  Too much can look harsh, artificial, or orange in photographs, especially against a white dress.  If you are having your hair done professionally, consider also having your makeup done as well.  This can make a world of difference in the application of your cosmetics.

Evening weddings usually use darker, more formal makeup colors, while morning ones require a fresher, lighter look.  Consider the lighting that will be available in the area where the wedding is taking place.  Sunshine versus artificial light can make a difference in how your color palette looks to the audience and camera.  Fluorescent lights can bring out a green cast in makeup, so if you are going to be seen under them, make sure there are no green tones in your foundation.

Make sure to try your dress and veil with the makeup and hair for your wedding, but be sure not to get any on the dress.  The styles of the dress and makeup should match – a simple classy dress demands makeup in the same style.  Be sure that the colors in your gown and accessories will not clash with your makeup tones.  With these simple wedding makeup tips, you can be sure to look your best on your wedding day.
