Wear a button shirt when applying your makeup so you don’t mess up your makeup. When slipping into your gown put a towel over your face so you don’t get makeup on your wedding dress.
Avoid glittery or dewy looks – these are not very receptive for photographs and you may come out looking greasy
If your wedding is outside be sure to apply sunscreen first
Water based foundation looks most natural in photos
For eye contouring, apply a dark but neutral in
crease of eye. You can line upper and lower lids (optional) with brown or grey shadow, smudging outer corners
If you need to make your eyes look wider or brighter, use a white pencil to line inside of lower lids.
Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day.
Make certain your wedding photographer is “not” using grainy film, because no matter how good your makeup is, with grainy film it will not look good
Make sure your wedding photographer is using high quality film so your photos do your wedding makeup justice
For your makeup to look good in your photos, it must be completely matte and in neutral tones, brides usually prefer a little color. Pastels look soft and pretty, but avoid glitter, shimmer and frosted eyeshadows.
Shine is #1 enemy for photos.
Don’t apply white or black eye shadow
Olive complexions should not use gray shades
Pale complexions should not use vibrant colors.
To relieve stress you can have a makeup artist do your wedding day makeup. If you enjoy doing your own makeup but need some more tips, visit a makeup consultant. It’s your day! You are going to look absolutely beautiful!
