Preparing for a wedding can be quite an expensive undertaking. From the dress, flowers, photos to decor and reception, every detail of your big day needs to be perfect. Hair and makeup are no exception. Are you thinking about doing your wedding makeup yourself to save money? If so, we at joy-pup.com have some great tips for you.
Tip 1: Provide a moisturized base
Properly hydrating your skin ensures that makeup stays in place all day and doesn’t settle in lines, pores, or wrinkles. It helps makeup apply evenly and allows your skin’s natural glow to shine through. To prep your skin after cleansing, first apply the essence and then the day cream. If you have dehydrated skin with wrinkles, use a hyaluronic acid serum after the essence. For very dry skin, choose a nourishing day cream.
Tip 2: Primer for makeup
If you’re not using primer, now is the time to do so. Primer helps keep makeup in place and controls sebum production, preventing excess shine in photos. If you don’t like primer, you can replace it with a setting spray after applying your makeup. You can also use setting powder, applying it with a brush or makeup sponge. Setting powder usually has a slight mattifying effect on the skin, which is especially useful if you want to remove shine from the forehead or other areas.
Tip 3. Minimalism
It is also important not to make things difficult for yourself. If you never wear eyeliner, don’t experiment with it on the morning of your wedding. Instead, choose makeup that is easy to apply and that enhances your natural beauty. Avoid heavy foundation if you are not used to it, but rather use a light and luminous one.
Tip 4. Subtle contouring
Subtly sculpting your face with strategically placed contours and highlights can enhance your wedding photos. Use a neutral, creamy contouring product that isn’t too warm or cool in color and apply contour shadow around the hairline, under the cheekbones, down the nose and just below the jawline. For a beautiful glow, use a highlighter one or two shades lighter than your skin to draw more attention to the center of your face. Apply highlighter along the bridge of your nose, on your cheekbones and on the tip of your chin.
Tip 5. Healthy blush
What says more about a bride than a healthy blush on her cheeks? Apply blush using a brush to the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards and then outward towards your temples. On top of this, apply blush with shimmer for a more vibrant and radiant effect.
Tip 6. Shade your eyes
To make your eyes pop in photos, use cream or matte eyeshadow to subtly shape and shade your eyes. For an extra sparkling effect, apply a light, glittery shadow to the inner corners of your eyes.
Tip 7. Waterproof mascara
There will likely be more than one tear shed at the wedding. However, to avoid black spots and streaks on your face, it is best to use waterproof mascara. She guarantees that your makeup will remain flawless until the end of the day, despite all the emotions. In addition to mascara, it’s also worth considering using waterproof eyeliner and concealer to ensure that your entire makeup is moisture and tear resistant.
Tip 8. Perfect lips
There’s also usually a lot of kissing at a wedding, but you don’t want your lipstick to leave a colorful mark on every cheek. A long-lasting matte lipstick may be the answer, but it won’t work if you suffer from dry lips. Glossy lip gloss suits everyone, but it is less kissable. You can solve this problem by first applying a base coat of colored lip pencil and then a lip gloss of the same shade on top of it.
Tip 9. Take your cosmetic bag with you
Your wedding day can be stressful, but you want to always look your best in photos, without a shiny forehead or smudged mascara. You might also want to touch up your lips after dinner. It is worth keeping a cosmetic bag on hand so that you can quickly touch up your makeup. The main products you need to have with you: lip pencil, lipstick or lip gloss, tissues, cotton swabs, setting spray or setting powder, concealer and highlighter.
