A
Beautiful Bride: Getting Your Makeup Done
Getting your makeup done for the big day can
be exciting and relaxing as well. There are a few things
you should know prior to just sitting down in the chair. You need
to know what colors look best on you and how to show your best
self. This will require seeing a few different cosmetic consultants
before the big day. You want to see who is the best and what
they can do for you. Most likely, if you find one you like,
you can hire her to do the makeup for you and your bridesmaids.
Make sure the bridesmaids find out what color suits them best,
as well. Remember less is more. You don’t want to over do it
and take away from the beauty of your ensemble as a whole.
A good option is to have
your face done up by a professional and then have a picture taken. You will be able to show your
makeup stylist what you want done and provide a visual aid.
You will need to write down all the product names and codes
and color names that were used during your consultation. This
will help the stylist you choose, match the colors. Make sure
you bring the photos and information to the stylist months
in advance in case she has to order them or you need to bring
them with you. Another option is to do it your self, using
the photo and products you got at the consultation. If you
choose this way, make sure you practice multiple times to get
the look exact. Applying make up is not always as easy as one
thinks.
Here are some common makeup styles to think about when trying
to plan that big day.
- Contemporary
weddings make up is the most common style in wedding make-up.
It is simple and sweet and rides on the theory
less is more. This technique sticks with sparkly pinks
and plums to give the bride a more natural glow.
- The
Hollywood scarlet wedding make up is a glamorous movie star-type
design. It is done to accentuate the eyes and uses
a bolder color on the lips. This technique uses a smoky blend
of eye color, natural tone blushes and bold lips.
- The
classic wedding make up is for more traditional style weddings
or anyone wanting the classic look. This style accentuates
your best features using many neutral tones. Your skin tone
will determine the shades best suited for you and your facial
structure will determine how the make up is placed.
- The
Spanish style wedding make up flair has a more dramatic look
to it. This dynamic make up ensemble uses smoky dark eyes
accentuated with a neutral lip tone to bring out your best
facial features.
- Vintage
romance wedding style make up accentuates the fair skinned
bride by using peach tones to enhance her beauty. Cream
colors are also used as a contrast to smooth out the skin’s
tone and texture. This look is a beautiful way to bring together
the whole face as a work of art.
- The
glamour goddess wedding make up design goes all out to deeply
line the eyes and make lips appear pouty. With rosy
pink cheeks to add that extra flare. Color will be chosen to
accentuate the bride’s skin tone and darker colors will be
used. This makes the eyes look deep and lusciously large.
- The
Regal retro wedding look is that old style Audrey Hepburn
type make up that adds drama to the face. Skin made to look
like porcelain with bold red lips and light dusty eyes rimmed
with a dark color is the trend. For that true retro flare add
the long fake eyelashes for the extra dramatic look.

to bring out the bride’s best features. This is a stunning
look that is clean and crisp using mostly light neutral tones
