Bridal Make-Up Tips

Wedding Make Up Tips from Debbie Jean Bridal Make-up Artist

If you are getting married you are no doubt considering what make-up to wear on the day of your wedding. Whether you are going to D.I.Y it or hire a professional make-up artist to apply your wedding make-up, it’s important to know the basic bridal make-up rules:

• If you are planning on having a spray tan or going on a sun bed before your wedding day, make sure your foundation and powder that are going to wear on the big day are not to light for your tanned complexion. Ever noticed a brides face looking to white in her wedding photos? Well, this could be caused from having a spray tan and not changing the colours of the foundation and powder to match the new skin colour. It could also be caused by wearing foundations and powders that are to pink in colour and not more yellow toned. Make-up artists always opt for more yellow toned shades for the skin – they simply look more natural once blended onto the skin. If you are going to tan your body on a sun bed, but not your face, use a darker foundation on your face to match up to your tanned neck and shoulder area.

• If you never really wear make-up, it’s important to consider wearing it for the day of your wedding. Your photos will last a lifetime, remember when your hair is done and you are looking more elegantly dressed, a make-up free face won’t work for you.
• Wearing a high quality foundation, concealer and powder will help your make-up last and blend on the skin. It will also ensure a smoother more flawless finish for your wedding photos.
