Make up for your wedding day

All about you

Your wedding day is the most important day of your life. It is the day, which is also going to change the rest of your life. It is the day that is going to be all about you, your man, your life, your vows, your gown, your hair and your make-up. All eyes are going to be on you, all cameras are also going to be on you, so you have to look the best you have ever looked for this special day. Make-up plays a very important part of your wedding attire. It helps in making you look your best, from the pretty smile to that healthy glow…it’s all about the make-up

Skin and glow

Your skin is the most important feature of your face. If you are blessed with good skin, half your work is done. If you have troublesome skin, like sunspots or acne then you just have to work hard at making your skin glow. Your skin is an important part of your make-up for your wedding day. It is what will make you glow and look like the happy bride. Make sure your skin is soft to touch and easy to handle, for this it is important that you use a good moisturizer. For those with oily skin, it is important that you do not aggravate your skin and make it oilier. Oily skin becomes very difficult to handle and will hamper with the make-up for your wedding day. If you go for regular facials, go for your last one before your wedding day, at least one month in advance. Good skin will lead to flawless make-up.

Once your skin care is taken care of, you have to get a good base. Use an oil based foundation as this will help prevent against your make-up wearing off and will decrease the chances of smudging and blotching. Your foundation should give a barely-there look. After you have applied foundation carefully, it is not to blush like the lovely bride that you are. It is preferable to use powder blush as this stays longer than cream based blush.

The sparkle in your eyes

They say, the eyes are the windows to your soul, and as clichéd as it may sound, it is true. Your eyes show the emotion you are feeling. So if you are happy, your eyes will show it. It is not good to have tired eyes on your wedding day, as no amount of make-up will help. Get a good 8 hours of sleep before your wedding day. Avoid crying before applying make-up for your wedding day, as this becomes difficult to conceal and will lead to smudges. Do not pluck, thread or wax your brows on your wedding day, it could lead to redness which becomes difficult to conceal. Use layering of eye shadow for a good effect and use at least 2 coats of mascara to open up your eyes on your wedding day. You could also use eye-liner or kohl for a more dramatic look depending on the kind of wedding you are having.
