9 New Bridal Makeup Tips: Bridal Makeup Articles
 On
your wedding day, you want to look fabulous-but remain true to yourself. You
don't want to look like a stranger in your wedding photos. 1.Don't usually wear makeup? Bend your rule just a little. At the very least, your skin should look flawless and glowing. 2.Take a tip from the film industry: before applying foundation, apply a transparent gel or "primer." It forms a barrier between your skin and makeup, so makeup stays on and colors stay true. It also keeps makeup out of your pores. 3.Define your eyes, aiming for a natural look: >Shape eyes softly with eyeliner - smudgeable powder liner works best. Avoid a harsh line. >Curl your lashes. Hold the curler against dry lashes for five seconds, then apply 2-3 layers of mascara (waterproof, of course). >Working with a professional? Have her add individual false lashes in the outside corners for impact. 4.Choose your eye shadow carefully! >Avoid trendy colors. (Although blue is in right now, photos will look dated later.) >Avoid bright colors-they scream out of photos. >Stay away from gray; it makes skin look ashy. >Choose a true color. Neutrals are best. 5.Make the most of your lips: >Lip liner frames your lips and holds color in. But choose a natural color - nothing too dark. >For best results, brush your lipstick on. Add a small amount of gloss, applied to the center of your bottom lip, for a special glow. >Avoid pale, pale colors-your lips will fade into your dress. >Keep a balance between your lips and your eyes. 6.Love to tan? Go easy-too much tanning looks artificial and harsh in photos. 7.Have your wedding makeup professionally applied. The difference in front of the camera is startling. 8.Take a few days off from makeup before the wedding-give your skin a rest. 9.Sleep, sleep, sleep (if you can)! Nothing helps your skin more |
