Question

i just recently ordered shimmering bronze lotion and make up for my wedding.i really want that sparkling glow for my wedding.im a almond colored african american women.do you guys have any tips on those kind of products.i want to look natural not like a bronze statue

Answer 1

Physicians formula has a nice variety of bronzers in powder form. I would be careful usoing a lotion bronzer to close to your wedding date as itmay not be what you want. Aveeno has a nice moisturizer that leaves a nice shimmer on your skin, with a very light bronzer in it, it is really nice and subtle. Keep your makeup simple, but play up your best feature a bit, ie your eyes. also keep your hairstyle as simple as possible, you want people and your fiance to be looking at your happy face, not an elaborate hair style.Good luck and many happy years ahead.

Answer 2

As a make up artist and style consultant and woman of african american decent why bronze. We all have different colors, but if u bronze, it can damage your skin, and your dont want that. The best think i say to use and is easy to come off is body shimmer, i use baby phat most of the time. It wont make you darker but it makes your chest look bigger, and it makes you glow.

The make up for your wedding day should be similiar:

Your every blush, smile and kiss will be recorded on film, so your bridal makeup needs to be picture perfect. It should cover any imperfections and highlight your features, while appearing subtle and pretty. Venue and event time play key roles; you'll want to adjust your makeup for day or evening and for indoor or outdoor lighting.




Steps:
1. Flip through bridal magazines and search for pictures that capture your ideal bridal look. Keep these pictures on hand for guidance.

2. Consider having your makeup done professionally. If you decide to do it yourself, have a free professional makeover before the wedding and ask for detailed instructions on how to achieve your desired look.

3. Choose the most lightweight foundation possible while still getting the coverage you need because heavier foundations will look more obvious.

4. Wear waterproof eye makeup so that tears of joy or the heat of summer don't make for streaks or smears.

5. Use various shades of shadow to add definition to your eyes, then add a hit of liner for drama. Resist the temptation to go for bold lines, bright colors or glitter, unless that's your usual look.

6. Curl lashes for length and definition but skip the false eyelashes. You don't want to risk having them peel off or rotate throughout the day.

7. Stick to a soft and delicate tone for lipstick, as bold or dark colors might be overpowering. Remember to match the hues in your blush to those in your lipstick.

8. Contour your face with blush or bronzer, even if it's not part of your daily routine. It will give your skin a healthy glow and subtly define your features.


Tips:
Pluck your eyebrows or have them waxed the day before your wedding. If you or a makeup artist play with them the morning of the wedding, they might appear red or blotchy in your pictures.

Consider a lipstick that has staying power. All those kisses and sips of Champagne will leave you little time to reapply.

Opt for a foundation that contains sunscreen if you plan to have an outdoor wedding.

Hope that helps.

Congratulation on your wedding.

well practice some before the big day....maybe you could get a professional to help you with some ideas....go to a makeup counter where they give free make overs and ask for some advice....they would be flattered once they start working on you to give you some help and you could tip them a little! bobbe brown makes a good shimmer brick and every company has something you can use...just get a big brush and after your skin is dry, dust it all over where you want to glow and let it dry real good before putting on your gown...

Answer 4

My friend just used a bronze spray and it made her look very dirty looking. But she is very white so you might have a different outcome. I'm Indian and fairly dark and those kind of products make me look orange and dirty to. Anyway good luck and congrats!!!

Answer 5

be very careful with that stuff... it may leave marks all over and you might get pissed because you put it on and it won't come off till like 7 to 10 days later

Answer 6

Apply it lightly and try it out in an area that will not be seen that way you can see if you like how it looks.

Answer 7

you should get makeup that are for your skin complexion so it looks natural.And don't get a bronze lotion.Get shimmery nice lotion that makes your skin shine and look real.

Answer 8

I DON'T THINK YOU REALLY NEED A LOT OF MAKE UP JUST MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN VERY WELL FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY. YOU ALREADY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SKIN COLOR. JUST CURL YOUR EYELASHES AND PUT WATERPROOF MASCARA ON (DON'T WEAR WHITE EYELINER- BIG MISTAKE WHEN EYELINER/EYESHADOW MATCH YOUR SHIRT!!) KEEP YOUR MAKE UP CLEAN/ SIMPLE AND DON'T LET IT TAKE OVER YOUR FACE LET YOUR NATURAL COLOR AND BEUTY DO IT'S THING!

Answer 9

You can go to a fine department store and let them do it for you and then you can know how to do it proffesionaly.
