Bridal Make-Up Tips
May 31, 2008
Every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day, with bridal make-up playing an integral part in complementing the bride’s facial features, dress and accessories. Make-up starts with great skin and so it is most essential that every bride ensures her skin is blemish free on her wedding day. She can work towards it by avoiding food that makes the skin oily and causes irritation.
She should begin preparing for her big day months in advance by cutting out rich, spicy food together with drinks that contain a lot of caffeine. It is also a good idea to get into the habit of drinking a lot of water, as it not only moisturises the skin but adds to its glow by eliminating toxins from the body.
Have your hair coloured a week before the wedding so that any mistakes can be rectified before the big day. On the wedding day itself, the bride should get all facial and bodily hair removed, including having the eye-brows professionally shaped. Next clean the skin by washing and then exfoliating, followed by an oil-free moisturiser. Dark eye circles, if any should be camouflaged by dabbing on some concealer. Bridal make-up should be kept natural, using a lightweight foundation or even a tinted moisturiser in place of foundation. Use a neutral shade for the blush, but if you must use a stronger colour, keep it soft. Eye shadow should be neutral and lipstick muted in a warm jewel tone.
Line the eyes with black Kohl and apply a couple of coats of mascara to the lashes. Finish your make-up by applying translucent powder or in a warm shade of gold to high light the skin.
It is important not to overdo it, as all that heavy jewellery, gold embellished bridal outfit, together with a heavily made-up face will only make you look garish. What you are aiming for is a soft, gentle look, a young girl who is on the threshold of womanhood. So, tone down the bridal make-up for a fresh, appealing look and you are bound to be the focus of all eyes.
