Wedding is the occasion where every guest wants to look just the best. When it comes to bride, she has to be perfect from her dress to make-up. We are here with certain guidelines that would help you out in doing the flawless make-up for wedding day.

A beaming face means a beaming day. A radiant face enhanced by the perfect makeup is essential for the most special day in a woman’s life, the wedding day. Some basic guidelines can help a bride in an effective way to look mesmeric, and give it her best at the close-up shot.

A Professional hand

A make-up professional is indispensable. One must get an appointment with someone at least three-four weeks prior to the wedding day. An effective skincare routine should be followed so as to keep the skin healthy. Cleansing and drinking enough water will help keep the skin hydrated and serve a long way. Consulting experts about the color of the foundation and basic makeup will help one know one’s skin type, and makeup requirements better for the wedding day.

The right touch of make-up

A good start is half the battle won. Start early, set around forty-five ...
... minutes to an hour for your makeup. The makeup colour must be fine-tuned in accordance with the hue of the outfit. The bride will want to look her best, and being caught up with time constrain is not advisable. Using the foundation to provide a dewy look is what a bride should opt for. Waterproof mascara is the golden rule for anyone, anytime. For the lips, a coloured glossy effect should be used and very dark shades for lip-liners must be avoided at any cost, unless your theme is somewhat like that. The eyes should be made the focus of the face with a bright hued grey or lavender colour upon the eye lids. To create a smoky look, a darker shade of eye liner can be applied on the top lashes. Avoid going too much on the makeup because less is always more. The bride must look exquisite; her beauty heightened with the fling of expert touch. Adding too much loud makeup can spoil the hard work for everyone.

Be yourself

Key is to look like yourself, but only your elegant best, with a more enhanced effect. But if you experiment with gaudy shades or smokey eyes, then surely this is not the day for it. Keep it simple, even if not minimal. Going for any kind of ‘experiment’ is not advised; it’d rather be better if you get a pro-session before the actual occasion, this way you or your guests won’t be in for any surprises.

Don’t over-do it

Overdoing of any part of make up can tarnish the entire effect. Too many coats of mascara will make your lashes look clumpy, and too much powder/foundation may make you look caked. Don’t use lip outliners much dark than your actual lipstick shade as this may make your photographs look unnatural and face too made up. So be careful with what you get carried away with, even when it comes to bride make-up.

The experiments which are to be done, are to be done prior to the wedding, and not in the last minute. Keep it simple and elegant with a dash of rosy!
