Bridal Makeup the Basics


Wedding make up is perhaps one of the most important of a girls life. Everyone wants to look perfect in real life, and more importantly in the photographs that are around for years to come. Often the best route to take is something modern yet classic. Long wear products are a must, and skin needs to look flawless.

A soft smoky eye and lashes looks good on everyone. I always apply MAC Paint in Untitled before the eyeshadow products, to prevent creasing and smudging. Dark brown shadow is a softer alternative to black for the smoky eye.

In a world of HD your skin must look flawless and radiant. Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone, and looks invisible. To keep your foundation looking good all day prep the skin with appropriate skin care and use a primer. Add luminescence to the high points of the face. Try a liquid luminzer like the Lorac one, as creams and liquids mimic skin and look more natural. Don’t forget contouring and blush because they add dimension to the face especially in photographs.

Nude lips are the obvious choice with a smokey eye. Be careful not to go too light. I usually recommend lipstick and liner with gloss on top for shine. This gives the lips more depth and lasts longer than gloss alone.
