Powder

Bridal Beauty Tips from Debbie Jean Bridal Make-up Artist

Applying powder

For dry skin apply loose powder with a brush. A powder puff can also be used to apply loose powder over your entire face for brides with an oily skin.

Tips

• Instead of carrying your powder container with you at your wedding, decant just enough powder into a small container and use this to touch up before your photos and at your reception. A ball of cotton wool can serve as your powder puff.
• Avoid pink toned powders no matter what your skin tone colouring – pink looks artificial on the skin, whilst yellow toned powders look more true to skin tone colouring.
• Use a matte loose powder -you don’t want to add shine to your whole face when powdering.
• Test your new powder in advance just in case you are allergic.
• Ever noticed a brides face in her wedding photos looking white? Well this is often caused by powders that are to light or to pink – another reason to test your powder colour in advance.
• If you start to perspire, don’t dab off with a tissue. This will make your foundation come off. Rather re set your make-up using powder.

I wish you all the happiness, laughter and love on your wedding day.
