| 5. Don’t doubt your foundation matches your skin color exactly. Test to be sure there is no line of demarcation at the jaw, hairline, and temples. Always liquid foundations with a soft matte finish work best because they are versatile and let your natural skin tone show through. Cream-to-powder and stick foundations tend to offer heavier coverage that, unless carefully blended, can look mask-like. It may be tempting, but do not mix a liquid shimmer product with your foundation to make skin look more radiant. In photos, shimmer can make skin look slick and greasy instead of luminescent, even when used judiciously, especially after wearing it for a few hours. And if it has happened at once, steal away for touch-up. 6. Look for a powder that closely matches your skin tone. Look for pressed powder which is more portable and easier to use than the loose version. The perfect one is a pressed powder with a silky texture and skin-like finish. Nowadays’ modern powder formulas (particularly those from Estee Lauder, L'Oreal, M.A.C., and Maybelline) make skin look beautifully polished, not powdered or ultra-matte. Don’t use a puff or sponge, but apply the powder with a professional brush. If you have normal to dry skin, only powder the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and leave the cheeks with the soft matte finish your foundation provides. 7. For blush, powder formulas tend to photograph best and hold up over the long haul. In case if in doubt about which shade to choose, opt for those in the rose or pink family, if you have fair to medium skin and choose rosy-plum tones and, if your skin tone is medium to tan. Try not to make the mistake of under-applying blush, especially for indoor photos. About wedding makeup it is formal, and requires more color than you may normally wear. Certain that your blush is in the same tonal family as your lipstick (for example, pair a pink blush with a pink, berry, or rose-toned lipstick).
