how do I get wedding perfect makeup?

Question

I will be doing my own make up for my wedding. Im a young looking 40 don't want to look too made up but, would like for my eyes to pop and my skin looking smooth.

Answer 1

I did my own makeup. I used a little eyeliner and lots of mascara. Make sure to se foundation and powder and a little color on your eyes. Congrats! And I hope this helps.

Answer 2

i don't think you should worry about "wedding perfect makeup". I'm sure your inner beauty will also define & shine your outer beauty. You should just go ahead & put on what you usually put on, if it's not much, i don't think it will matter. The bride is usually always beautiful no matter what. These days, the "naked look" is in style & looks more elegant than any other type of makeup's. When i say naked look, i mean a nice lip gloss, light eye liner, light mascara & light on the liquid foundation if you want your skin looking smooth. If i were you, i would not wear the foundation. You only need to look your best during the wedding ceremony. After that, it's PARTY TIME! all that make up you decide to wear will end up oily on your skin as you eat, then dance the night away. So, keep it light & comfortable.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Answer 3

You could try this: go to a department store and find a cosmetics clerk who's makeup you like. Ask if she/he can give you some pointers (or even do your makeup for you). Take notes, then practice a few times on your own before the big day.

Oh, and it would be nice if you bought something too -- so you weren't completely wasting their time. Maybe you'll find that perfect eyeshadow or foundation or lipstick that just makes everything else POP.

Answer 4

Invest in a facial at a local spa. Make sure you do it in enough time to let any irritation which may occur to heal. This will set a good base for your make-up. If you don't want to do a facial, buy some exfoliating face cream. Look for one that has small, polishing spheres. Anything with ground up nutshells or other large abrasives could get into your pores and clog them.
Use the creme to wash and look into a nighttime renewal cream for your face and eyes. Get hydrated and sleep enough.
No product can imitate real, fresh skin that has been cared for.

Answer 5

Go to the mall and get one of he free makeoevers. Not sure if all Dillards, Richs, Macy do them but they normally get products especially for that purpose so people like the look and buy it.

Another route is Mary Kay. Always a good product!

How to Adapt Your Makeup for Your Wedding Day

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.

Or go for the natural look. Make sure u do a mask 1 a week. Keep it mositurerized.

Apply Makeup to Achieve a Natural Look

This system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy.

Steps:

1. Understand that a 'natural' look is one that uses colors that are right for your skin tone. How much you use, and where, depends on your personal style.

2. Make sure your concealer is yellow in tone since it mutes imperfections without adding color, giving your skin a natural look.

3. Apply foundation that matches your skin tone. The right foundation will seem to disappear on your face. If you are African-American, it's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of your foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.

4. Apply eye makeup in earthy tones'beige, brown, gold or plum for shadows and brown and charcoal gray for liner and mascara. Skip liner or shadow entirely if you want to keep makeup light.

5. Choose a blush color that is close to the color of your cheeks after you've exercised.

Tips:

Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger, more made-up look.

Intensify your natural makeup for evening. Instead of brown, for example, go for charcoal around the eyes. 'Pop' blush with a brighter color over your usual one. Make lips brighter, darker or more shimmery.

Warnings:

Don't skimp on makeup tools. Better tools make applying makeup easier and faster.

Hope that helps.
