The Perfect Wedding Day Makeup
By Vivian Timson
Every woman dreams of her day from the time she was only a little girl. There are so many details her imagination takes care of: the length of her veil, the shade of her dress, the jewelry she'll use, the theme for her wedding, the flower arrangement for her bouquet, the people to invite, the menu at the reception, the song to be played for the first dance. One vital thing that could get lost in the swirl of romantic ideas is the kind of makeup the excited bride-to-be should wear. From the moment she walks down the aisle to the end of the reception, every eye is almost always on the bride, watching her every move and studying her joy. Wedding day makeup is no trivial matter and should be considered with great attention. It is only fair that the bride gives her loyal well-wishers a warm radiance in which to bask in their stares. To get the perfect bridal look, the right makeup must be employed.
For your wedding, the most awaited moment of your life, your face, as well as everything about you, should look natural. With this in mind, you should avoid heavy and dark makeup. You should aspire to look fresh, innocent, and content with your current state of affairs, eager to start a happy ever after with your groom. Besides, the emotions of a happy bride should be seen and shared, not hidden under layers and layers of bad, ugly makeup.
As with any occasion, your foundation should match the color of your skin. You don't want to appear whitewashed or look like a ghost in the wedding photos, so choose the right foundation.
Perhaps the best makeup tool that can help you achieve the perfect bridal look in terms of makeup is the blush. To achieve the look of love, use a blush in a soft, pink shade - the color of love and romance. Apply the blush with light, gentle strokes upwards. A pale pinch of color is enough; too much color will make your makeup appear forced and your happiness, fake.
If you have a fair or white to yellowish skin tone, soft hues, particularly in pink, would suit your face best. If you have a brown skin tone, natural colors would provide you that au naturel charm. If you have an olive or dark skin tone, pale and silky shades would give you the glow you need. These rules will help you pick out the right blush, as well as the eye shadow.
Your lips play a significant role in the wedding ceremony. After pronouncing your groom and you to be officially wed, all eyes turn on you as you shyly perform your first kiss as husband and wife. To make this beautiful moment truly unforgettable, make sure to pay attention to your lips when doing your wedding makeup. First things first: moisturize your lips with a gentle lip balm. Then put on a lipstick of the same shade as your blush. For that shiny, alluring finish, apply a thin coat of sheer gloss. Remember to keep smiling for the rest of the day. It's your wedding, after all.
With these wedding day makeup techniques, you're sure to wow not just your man but everyone who sees you in your dress, looking every inch the lovely bride.
