Wedding day make up ? romantic image creation

Added: 11/30/2005

Every bride wants to look perfect, and along with your wedding attire, your make up is an important part to create your overall look. To give more thought to your wedding make up is of primary importance, since a wedding is a day of photography and videography that requires some alternative to your everyday make up usage. The lights of cameras make your face look different, the skin looks paler and the cheeks lose their natural color. Your make up is able to compensate all that undesirable loss.

While wedding day jewelry and wedding day hair options complement your look and light up your face and you have spent much time to choose them, your wedding day make up should not take a backseat. The beauty and freshness of the youth are the best wedding day make up and the question is not going to be about extreme and extravagant options. However, your wedding day make up should serve two major purposes: to underline your natural charm and beauty and not to let your features fade out of photos and video.

Here are some tips of how to use the wedding day make up perfectly, expressing your best features, as well as concealing some skin and silhouette defects.

Go through the magazines and select make up styles that you like and that are suitable for you. It is recommended not to choose some gorgeous styles, since the image of the bride is more romantic than appealing.

The photo and video lights tend to make the skin paler and shinier, therefore use an oil-free foundation as close to your skin tone as possible. Cover the under eye circles and blemishes with an under eye concealer. It should be a tone lighter than your foundation. Use some powder to firm the foundation. It is better to use a loose translucent powder, while you need to have an oil-free pressed powder with you for some corrections during your wedding.

Working on your eyes, you will not be wrong with soft earth-tone eyeshadows. Frosted eyeshadows never photograph well. Use a black waterproof mascara that you have already tried on your top lashes and a waterproof pencil to line the top lid. Blush your cheeks with a powder or crème-blush, corresponding to the natural apple of the cheeks.

Lipstick should not be too dark or bright; in fact, it should be the same color as your blush. A brown color seems too dull, when you are wearing white; therefore, stay away from it. To have your lipstick last all day, powder your lips first and apply your lip pencil filling in the entire lip. Apply your lipstick, blot, powder and apply again. Then apply a light coat of lip-gloss if desired in the middle of the bottom lip. Finish your wedding day make up with a little more blush and a final brush of the loose powder.

If you are uncertain about what wedding day make up is perfectly suitable, you can hire a professional make up artist. Here the pictures from the magazines you have selected will be quite handy. It will be much easier for the make up artist to look through the pictures than to listen to your endless descriptions of what you particularly want. Moreover, our mental ideas of colors and shades can be different and you will be speaking about different things only.

When you go to your consultation, bring the pictures from the magazines you have chosen, a picture of your wedding dress (it gives the artist an idea about your wedding style), the shade of lipstick you would like to wear and your favorite waterproof mascara.

To hire a professional make up artist in order to create your wedding day make up and image is even a better option. He will be able to select the tones, shades and lines, most appropriate for you and, as a result, you will see the most beautiful bride you have never seen before.
