Tips for Bridal makeup

Timing of bridal makeup should be such that is closest possible to the ceremony.

Apply primer before applying foundation to let it stay longer. Also apply it over the eyelids to make a base. It will prevent eye shadow to accumulate into crease.

Foundation applied, should match your skin tone otherwise it will appear cakey.

Use light or medium shades of lipstick. For applying lipstick, first prepare base over lips. It will help lipstick to stay longer. Then draw outline with lip liner and fill it with lip color. Apply two coats of lipstick to make it long lasting. In the end apply lip gloss.

If you need to clean sweat drops from your face, do not wipe or rub the face rather blot them otherwise rubbing can remove makeup from that place and patches will appear there.

For more natural blushing, apply powder blush.

Bridal makeup should also take care of photographs also. Do not apply pink foundation as it will appear pale in photos. Apply foundation on all the exposed portions like neck, back and hands apart from face.

If you carry translucent powder with you for touch ups, do not over pat it as it will make skin flaky and dry.

For eyes you should apply waterproof eyeliner and waterproof mascara, as you may tend to rub eyes accidentally or you may cry. Water-based products will spoil your look.

Stay away from bright and neon shades as these shades will make your face ashy in photographs.

Your hairdo should be such you feel comfortable and also it should not be too festive. Very tight hairdo will make your neck very stiff.
