Bridal Makeup tips
Eyes
Use eye shadow primers for eye shadow to stay longer. Go for water resistant eyeliners and mascara to prevent smudging and for a good effect. For a gorgeous look, try applying a light shimmery gold color on the brow bone as a highlighter.
You can use brown mascara instead of black for better appeal. Use false eyelashes for an attractive look.
Face
For makeup to last for a long time, use makeup primers. It fills in pores and makes the skin look smooth.
Make sure foundations match the skin tone. Choose a yellow based foundation for getting a glamorous look in the photos.
One can also go for gold based concealers and foundations. They tend to stay for a longer time when set with a loose pressed powder for a matte finish.
Use a pink blush and a copper glow highlighter on the cheekbones for a fine look with facial features appearing prominent.
Stick to translucent powders or very natural powders like MAC Mineralize skin finish. This product helps to get the special glow on the wedding day. Apply highlighter to the tops of cheekbones, near the tear ducts, and just under the brows.
Cheekbones can also be highlighted using blushes for that special look.
Lips
To appear stunning in photographs, choose bright lip shades like red, plum and pink with a lip liner. It makes lip stick and lip gloss stay longer.
Choose a lasting lip color. Choose a lip liner the same color as your lipstick or lip gloss.
Lip liners prevent the lipstick from smudging. Apply lip liner to whole lips before applying lipstick. It makes the color last even longer.
Finally, use a bronzing powder dust on the neck to get the bridal grand look.
