| General Tips | 5. At the Trial
Having pictures from magazines will help your make up artist design a look for you. Also take your head bridesmaids with you to give her opinion of the make up.
Talk about:
• What make up brands they use?
• Mention if you have any skin problems eg sensitive skin or allergies.
• Colours that you have chosen as the make up should compliment the dress and flowers.
• Warm neutral tones create a natural look which is often advisable.
• Think over your skin tones and hair colour? Choose from two colour palettes - warm or cool
• For Blond or fair skinned, cool tones of grey, blue, soft pink and lilac are ideal.
• For brunette or olive skinned, warm neutral tones of brown, taupe, burgundy & red are more suited.
Keep in mind, your make up should be a little more dramatic than your everyday make-up as you can tend to look pale and washed-out in photos if your make-up doesn't stand out.
6. Your Face
Beware of shimmer highlighters as this look will not show up well in photos and give a reflective shine.
Foundations with yellow undertones work best with flash photography.
Use a light dusting of translucent powder to prevent any unwanted shine.
Ask your make-up artist to use a bronzing powder to warm your skin tone and give a natural glow. Apply on areas where the sun would naturally hit e.g. Forehead, cheeks and bridge of nose.
Blush - use more than not enough.
7. Your Eyes
The eye-area should be soft and natural with no heavy, dark lines.
Avoid from up to the minute eyeshadows and make-up trends as you will regret it when you look at your photos in years to come!
Avoid heavy, dark shadows and use a brow pencil slightly darker than your hair colour.
8. Your Lips
Avoid a noticeable or dark lip line and use a lip-liner the same colour as your lipstick.
Your lips colour will depend on whether you are a warm or cool colour palette (see tip 5).
If you want dark, defined eyes, go for a lighter lip shade and if you want dark/bright lips go for natural, light eyes. It is more flattering to define one area i.e.
9. Timing
The last thing you want is to be rushed on your wedding day
Ask your make-up artist to arrive as early as possible and allow plenty of time to get the job done..
10. Touch Up Tips
Ask your mum or one of your bridesmaids to carry a powder compact, tissues and lipstick for touch ups during the day.
