Choosing Wedding Makeup
After settling on a guest list and finding a reception venue, choosing wedding makeup is one of the most important tasks for a bride. There are so many ways you can look at the one event that you must look perfect at. The key is to book a makeup artist you trust that can create a variety of different looks well or do many experiments yourself.
You can choose to have a look using colours from the wedding colour scheme, those that naturally enhance your features or match your wedding gown, hairstyle and jewellery or season.
A good idea is to use colours that play up your skin and eyes and also do not clash with the chosen bridal colour scheme. If you look best in warm tones, use those. If you are radiant in cooler shades, play with looks using these colours.
Warm Look
This look is especially splendid if you having a wedding in the warmer months of the year or in autumn.
Apply gold under the brow and blend well down into the inner corner of the eye to brighten the eyes. Avoid gold tones that are too shimmery or glittery for this day.
On the mobile lid apply a generous amount of a golden bronze. Blend this well into the gold.
On the outer corner of the eye use a matte dark brown shade and blend into the crease.
With a smudge brush run the same brown shadow along the lower lash line, being careful to stop just where the lashes are naturally apparent.
Use black brown eyeliner to line the upper lash line and blend slightly upwards into the shadows above. You don’t want this line to be too obvious, just to increase the definition of the eyes.
Use mascara on top and bottom lashes to frame the eyes.
For the cheeks use some golden blush lightly (no shimmer or glitter here) for radiance.
Use a light brown lip colour with a copper sheen to finish off the look.
Cool Beauty
If your wedding colours and the season are cooler, this is a good guide for you.
Use a white gold or vanilla under the brow and inner corner of the eye. Stay away from silver for the big day. It can look inappropriate when photographed.
For the mobile eyelid, liberally apply a taupe shade. A satiny formula would blend well into the pale gold used before.
Carefully apply a pale bronze colour to the lash line and blend upwards and inwards at the outer corner of the eye.
Smudge smoky grey eyeliner at the upper and lower lash lines.
Indulge your eyelashes with two coats of black mascara.
Stick to a rose tone with a hint of peach for the apples of the cheeks.
Apply a sheer pink brown colour to lips to harmonise the look.
Whatever makeup look you choose for your day, it should have you feeling gorgeous, glamorous and irresistible.
