Wedding Day Tips
By Sarah-Jade Thorne
Makeup Tips
- Allow for 1hr to apply your makeup on the day (but practice a lot before the day so you feel confident)
- Apply your makeup in natural light
- Moisturize your skin well before applying your makeup
- Use a magnifying mirror when applying your makeup
- Use a yellow toned foundation to hide any redness especially around the nose and mouth and avoid SPF foundation, for flash photography, as the SPF in the foundation reflects light
- Emphasize your eyes by concealing any dark rings under your eyes
- Blend foundation and concealer well especially around the eyes as cameras will pick up any visible makeup lines
- Set your foundation and concealer with a light dusting of sheer loose powder
- Make sure your face and neck/chest are matching. You may need to dust some bronzing powder on your neck and chest
- Don’t use neutral, brown or pale lip colors as they will look washed out on photos
- Define your brows with a soft matte shadow. Two shades darker for blond hair and a shade lighter for darker hair
- Use water-proof eyeliner and mascara
- Use a eyelash curler before applying your mascara
