On your Wedding Day, you want to look like a beautiful princess. The perfect way to achieve this is with a stunning Wedding Day Makeup look. With the right combination of products and techniques, you can enhance your natural beauty and create a look that will have you feeling like royalty on your special day. In this blog post, we'll discuss the best products and techniques to help you create the perfect Wedding Day Makeup look to make you feel like a princess.
Foundation
When it comes to wedding day makeup, foundation is essential to create a flawless base for the rest of your makeup look. It is important to choose a foundation that gives you the coverage you desire, but is also lightweight and natural-looking. A sheer to medium coverage foundation is usually recommended for wedding day makeup. To ensure a seamless application, apply your foundation with a brush or a damp beauty sponge to blend it into your skin. This will also help your makeup last longer throughout the day.
Powder
Once you’ve applied your foundation, you can use a powder to help set your makeup and keep it in place. Choosing the right powder will depend on your skin type and desired look. For those with oily skin, a mattifying powder is ideal, as it helps to reduce shine and keep oil at bay. Those with dry skin should opt for a hydrating powder which won’t cling to any dry patches or make skin look cakey. If you’re looking for something lightweight that won’t cause flashback when photographed, translucent powders are the perfect choice. Make sure to apply powder in small amounts with a big fluffy brush, starting in the centre of your face and then blending outwards. This will help ensure a more natural finish and prevent caking.
Bronzer
When it comes to achieving a beautiful bridal look, bronzer is an essential step. Bronzer gives your skin a sun-kissed glow, adding a touch of warmth and dimension to your face. When applying bronzer, you want to use a brush that's slightly larger than your blush brush, so the color isn't too concentrated. Sweep the bronzer over the areas where the sun would naturally hit your face, such as the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Focus on blending the color into the skin so that it looks natural and not streaky. Be sure to blend the edges well so that it doesn't look like a patch of bronzer on your face. A good rule of thumb is to use a shade that is one or two shades darker than your skin tone. This will ensure that your bronzer looks natural and gives you a beautiful, radiant glow.
Blush
When applying blush, it's best to start lightly. Apply the product to the apples of your cheeks, sweeping up toward your temples. Don’t forget to blend! If using a powder blush, use a fluffy brush for a more natural finish. For cream blushes, use your fingertips to blend and create a natural-looking flush. You can also use a beauty blender or makeup sponge for an airbrushed finish.
If you're going for a more dramatic look, layer your blush with other products such as bronzer and highlighter. Start with your blush, then add bronzer along your cheekbones and temples and finally, add a bit of highlighter on the high points of your face such as your cheekbones, brow bones, and cupid's bow.
The key to getting the perfect wedding day makeup look is to experiment and find what works best for you. Start by playing around with different products and techniques until you find something that you love.
Highlighter
You can also use a highlighter stick for an even more precise application. With this method, you can trace the shape of your cheekbones, brow bones, and down the bridge of your nose with the highlighter. Make sure to blend the product out with a brush or sponge so you don’t have any harsh lines on your face.
Choose a highlighter color that matches your skin tone for the most natural look. If you have fair skin, try a pink or champagne shade. If you have medium skin, try a gold or bronze shade. For dark skin tones, opt for a golden bronze or copper shade. You can also use two shades of highlighter – one that is two shades lighter than your skin tone, and one that is two shades darker than your skin tone – to create depth and dimension.
Remember to be light handed when applying highlighter – you can always add more if needed, but it's harder to remove once it's been applied. With these tips, you'll be sure to get a beautiful glow on your wedding day!
Eyeshadow
When it comes to wedding day makeup, the eyeshadow is one of the most important parts. It can help bring out your eyes and make them look beautiful and glowing. Before you choose the shades of eyeshadow, it’s important to consider the color of your dress, your hair, and your skin tone. If you have light skin, try neutral tones like champagne or taupe. If you have medium skin, try mauve or warm pink. For darker skin tones, opt for deep purples and plums.
When applying eyeshadow, start with a light base color all over the lid and then build up the intensity with darker shades. Blend all the colors together to ensure they look seamless. When using darker colors, be sure to use a small brush and apply sparingly. To finish off your eyeshadow look, apply a light shimmery shade in the inner corner of your eyes to add some extra sparkle.
Mascara
The finishing touch to any wedding day makeup look is mascara. Mascara will help your eyes pop and add a special touch of glamour to your look. To apply, start by curling your eyelashes with an eyelash curler. This will help the mascara stick better and make your lashes appear longer. Then, take a mascara wand and carefully coat your lashes from root to tip. Make sure to do a few extra coats on the outer corners of your eyes for added drama. Be sure not to get any mascara on your skin or it can be difficult to remove! To complete the look, you may want to use a waterproof formula if you expect tears or if it's going to be a hot day. With mascara, you can make your eyes look bright and beautiful for your big day!
Eyeliner
When it comes to your wedding day makeup, nothing says “glam” quite like a bold cat eye. To create this classic look, start with a liquid or gel eyeliner that won’t smudge. Using a light hand, draw a thin line along the upper lash line, and then thicken the line as you move outward towards the end of your brow. Then, extend the line slightly past the outer corner of the eye to create a subtle wing. Finish off the look by applying two coats of mascara to give your eyes some extra drama.
If you’re going for a softer look, opt for a pencil eyeliner instead. With a pencil liner, you can draw on a thicker line that won’t be as intense as liquid or gel liner. You can also use pencil liner to create a smudgy effect. Start by lining the top lash line and then blend outwards using a small brush. This will create a more subtle cat eye that still adds definition to your eyes.
Lips
Your lips should be the star of the show on your wedding day! You can go for either a bold or subtle look, depending on the overall style you’re going for. If you want to keep things neutral, choose a soft pink or nude shade. If you’re looking to make a statement, try out some deep reds or purples. Start by applying a lip primer to ensure that your color lasts all day. Follow up with your chosen lip color and blend it in with a lip brush. Then, use a lip liner to define and shape your lips. Finally, finish off with a clear gloss for extra shine.
