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.

Answer 2

I would do your make-up they same way you normally do but make the colours a bit darker and heavier. This is because usually at dusk and after dark you need heavier/slightly darker makeup in order for it to stand out. If you do your daytime makeup as normal you will be too pale at the end of the day and look like you are not wearing anything. You will also be doing your makup in the morning and after tons of kisses and hugs and maybe a few tears you will be getting your photo taken - all day. With the running around that a wedding brings you will not likely have time to touchup after your look is complete other than quick lippy. Personally i usually use light brown mascara and eyeliner because it blends nicer with my skintone. On the day i will be using a dark/almost black colour to let it stand up to the abnormal abuse and still show in the photos. Also on the night before the wedding put some vaseline or thick lanolin on your lips before you go to sleep. Overnight this soaks into your lips making your lipstick look fresher and last longer the following day by creating a moisture barrier between your lips and the lipstick. You don't even feel it on the day but it feels pretty bad when you go to bed. It's a modelling trick and it really works!

First you need to determine your skin tone - either warm or cool. It's sounds like you have a warm skin tone but here's how to check:

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.

Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

Then you can decide on a color palette. For a wedding you will want neutral, classic makeup. If you are going to have black & white photos taken make sure the colors you select will look good in them.

After you've narrowed down your color choices, have a friend take photos of you in a 2-3 different looks in different light settings so you can check out how well each one photographs.

My first suggestion would a slightly, shimmering champagne eye shadow w/ black eyeliner. I'm not quite sure what shades or pink or red will complement your reddish brown hair.

Here's an article on testing & finding the right lipstick: http://www.wikihow.com/Buy-Lipstick

As for your fingernails, I recommend Essie's Sugar Daddy - it's a really beautiful sheer pink that will look classic and elegant. This shade just makes one's nails look healthy & perfect. For your toes, you can choose a deeper pink or you can go neutral. Essie's Buy Me a Cameo is a shimmery, pearlescent taupe that is neutral but not boring.

Answer 4

Go with natural looking colors try a light pink gloss only if you don't have red undertones if you do then just get a lip liner the same color as your lips just to enhance the color and go over with clear gloss. For your foundation use the mousse make up from Maybelline try to use a light bronzer over your nose and cheek bones lightly just so that you don't look dead and have some color for your eyes don't use liner unless you really want to and try to use a lighter color (Pearl) on the bottom of your brow and on the inner corner of your eye and then just get a color that you think pulls all the colors inn remember the focus of people is always on the eyes first

Answer 6

Either go to any hair salon and ask the hairdressers' opinions (cuz they do beauty every single day...) or your own hairdresser, or set a day aside to go out with your best friend and experiment with different makeup techniques/products. You have a really pretty complexion, so I don't think you'll have to really go all out with the makeup. Congrats, by the way!

Answer 7

Make-up for Fair Skin

If you’re fair-skinned, sheer colours look best on you. Apply light earth tones and soft pastels, such as blue and lavender to accent your eyes.
Various shades of pink will look good on your eyes, cheeks and lips. Keep your mascara to brown or brown/black. Light, sheer lipstick adds a finishing touch. Peach is always a good choice for our fair-skinned friends, it looks natural and compliments your skin colour.

Answer 8

You should go with nuetral tones on your eyes, lips should be soft looking, no harsh reds. In my opinion you should highlight your best facial feature while remaining soft and fimanine.

Answer 9

the best advice my pro gave me was dont change the way you normally wear your makeup. if you change it, when you look back at your pictures you wont look like yourself. so pretty much wear what you normally wear but maybe go a little bit more dramatic.

Answer 10

light neutral colors....
