Wedding Day Make-up

Even if you don’t wear a lot of make-up, it does need to be a little darker and thicker to look perfect in your wedding day photos.

Start with a good “base” so your wedding day photos look flawless. Use a good concealer to cover up any stress pimples that might have “popped” up. Find a good liquid foundation. Foundation helps to cover and make your skin look smooth and beautiful. Lastly, find a good compact powder. Make sure it matches your skin so you won’t have lines on your neck plus the compact allows you to touch up as needed.

If you like your make-up simple, downplay your eyes. Just add a neutral, shimmery eye shadow. If you love dramatic make-up, don’t be scared to be bold (but if you need help, you may want to go have it professionally done or get advice first). When doing your eye shadow, make sure to start with the lightest color first. Using the lightest color shadow, place the color near your eyebrow line, working your way to the middle of your eye lid. Next, use your medium dark shadow for your eye lid closest to your eye lashes. Make sure you are using a good eye shadow brush and that you are brushing from your inner lid to your outer lid. Lastly, take your darkest shadow, and shade in the crease of your eye lid. Use your own judgement on how light or dark you want your eye shadow to be. For a more dramatic eye, use a black eye liner to line the upper and lower eye. If you would like to get a little creative, you can take a white, shimmery shadow and dab a little on the inner corner’s of your eye for an “eye popping” look! Finish this look of with some black mascara.
