| Picture Perfect Makeup: Tips | There’s probably no other day in your life when you will be photographed more than on your wedding day. You will treasure your wedding photos for years to come. So, make sure you look great in every single one.
It’s a good idea to think about your makeup, since you’ve probably found the perfect dress, shoes and jewelry. So, do some experimenting before the day of the wedding.
Here are some tips for perfect wedding makeup from the experts:
* Less is more when it comes to wedding day makeup; use enough to emphasize your best features, but don’t overdo it.
Advices for brides:
Your makeup should be a little darker for photography, but keep the natural look.
* Choose a mascara color that fits your coloring; Use flattering neutrals to highlight your eyes.
* Try mixing your foundation with moisturizer for the sheerest, most natural coverage.
* Add just enough concealer to even out spots and redness. People with fair complexions, especially redheads, often have a problem with ruddiness. Redheads have to use toner that cancels out ruddiness and can be applied under foundation to smooth out skin tone. For under-eye circles, try some eye disguise.
* Apply lip color using a lip brush, then outline with a lip pencil in a complementary color. Don’t use a darker liner; it will look harsh and unnatural in pictures.
* Add powder to avoid shine; use a yellow or honey-toned product, not a translucent one. Consider translucent powder is not invisible, and can actually drain the color from your face and look mask like in flash prints. Also, avoid powders with glittery finishes. Matte finish will last longer and photograph better.
For black-and-white photos, concentrate on definition:
* Line eyes and lips carefully.
* Dark shades of lipstick and liner tend to look even darker in black and white. You should use a lighter shade than usual.
* Apply blush evenly and select a shade that’s close to your natural skin tone. It can appear the camera will exaggerate bright tones.
