WEDDING MAKE UP DON’T’S
- . Don’t use SPF on your wedding day. It casts an ashy or ghostly affect with flash photography
- . Mineral Make Up is beautiful in person but on films it looks as though your skin is Oily
WEDDING MAKE UP DO’S
- . WATERPROOF EVERYTHING! Foundation, primer, eyeliner, mascara
- . Eyeliner: Charcoal, navy or mahogany are your best options. Black and brown can look too severe for your wedding esp daytime
- . Use white shadow as a highlighter for your brow bone
- . GIVE THEM SHAPE Contour your eyes (avoid using color that’s too dense)
- . Shade your brows
- . Get the red out- eye drops
- . Blush – instant facelift (light skin- pink, dark tone rosier hue)
- . Zap a zit – keep your hands away from your face (see your dermatologist for a cortisone injection!)
- . Blend, blend, blend esp at corners of the eyes
- · Set up make up application by a window for NATURAL light
- · Make sure bride and make up artist are at eye level
- · Use bronzer on chest and neck to even out skin & make skin more luminous (not on your décolletage – your don’t want to stain the dress)
- · LIP COLOR- use a color that’s a bit bright (Pale nude + brown will appear washed out in photos esp when wearing white) or you can use your normal lip color with a bit of pink on top to give you a LIFT
- · keep lip color with you
- · WHITEN your teeth
- · SMILE it’s the best kept beauty secret
- · Hair: use hot curlers to prep. Ask brides to have day old hair
- · BEFORE WEDDING Hair tip: head to a local spa and have a professional scalp massage- it stimulates the hair follicles and adds body. Also as for a deep conditioning treatment the WEEK BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
- · Tanning salon, one month before the wedding – you don’t want to chance a spray tan on your wedding + it will last through your honeymoon
