Makeup Tips for Looking Gorgeous on Your Wedding Day

Wedding Day Makeup

Wedding Day Makeup

Every woman wants to look her most beautiful on her wedding day. When you walk down the aisle, you want to take your sweetheart’s breath away. Most brides want their wedding makeup to be little different from their everyday look, a little more WOW! They just aren’t sure what that looks like.

Wedding makeup artists offer this advice for choosing a perfect wedding day look:

  • To determine your style, page through wedding and fashion magazines and look at the models’ faces. Tear out pictures you’re attracted to. Decide what specifically you like about these makeup examples. Is the chaste nude lips or dangerously long eyelashes? 
  • Pull the different makeup elements into an overall look with your dress and hair. What image do you want to portray on your wedding day? Sexy, casual, flirty, princess? Choose lip and eye makeup colors that enhance the way you want to feel.
  • Make sure your foundation shade matches your face and neck. If you plan to use a spray tan or bronzer, practice before your big day and adjust your foundation color to match.
  • Stick with natural shades on your nails to keep the focus on your face and dress. Nails that match your wedding colors are fine for bridesmaids but a distraction on the bride.

Permanent makeup is the best way to ensure that your makeup is perfectly beautiful and beautifully perfect on your wedding day and everyday.

Permanent Make-Up and Weddings II: Picture Perfect

Finding a humidity-proof hairdo for a summer wedding can be a challenge. Get inspired by the gorgeous red-carpet styles of stars like Becki Newton and Eva Longoria Parker and find a ‘do that will keep you looking picture perfect from the walk down the aisle through the reception send-off.

A lot of time and detail went into choosing your dress, ring, flowers, and even your hairstyle. Don’t let your makeup take a backseat. Take the time to go through magazines and pull out makeup styles that you really like, even tear out the ones you really hate.  It could be how a certain feature is played up, or that great lipstick color, or how the skin glows, or even how they used way too much eyeliner. All this is easy to say and show with pictures. It helps tremendously to show you what you like with pictures rather than endlessly describing it. This gives anyone helping you, whether it’s a make-up artist or your best friend or a salesperson at department store counter, the best way to see what you like and don’t like. Remember, two people’s ideas of pink lipstick could be completely different. There is a lot of truth in the adage that says “a picture is worth a thousand words.” It really gives a lot more information with a visual sense.

With all the variables, getting permanent makeup will relieve you of some of the nerve-wracking guesswork. Permanent eyeliner, lip liner and eyebrows can go a long way toward making the big day really picture perfect.
