Tips for Perfect Wedding Make-up

Think about the style of makeup you would like for your weddingday.

What time is the wedding? Is it a day or evening wedding? A lighter, more natural look is more suited to a day wedding and a more dramatic look is suited to an evening one.

What time of year is your wedding? If you are having a Spring/Summer wedding, go for bright, pastel colours. Warm, deeper shades will lend themselves well to a winter wedding.

Consider your skin tones and hair colour?  There are two colour palettes - warm or cool - If you are Blond or fair skinned, cool tones of grey, blue, soft pink and lilac are ideal. If you are brunette or olive skinned, warm neutral tones of brown, taupe, burgundy & red are more suited.

Your make up can be a little more dramatic than your everyday make-up as you can tend to look washed-out in photos if your make-up is to light.

Start your Beauty Regime well before your wedding big day

To get that glowing, fresh-faced look, there are a few things to consider a few weeks prior to your wedding day. A skin and nail care plan should be started about 6 weeks before the wedding. Talk to your beautician about having regular facials and manicures.

Don't get too much sun before your wedding. You don’t want to peel on your wedding day.  Consider Spray-on-tanning , a 100% natural way to achieve a tan.


Test and re-test your wedding day makeup regime

When you have chosen a make-up artist, organise a trial around 1-2 months before the wedding.

It is a good idea to have your bridesmaids with you to give their input and also advise what kind of look they want themselves.

Have pictures from magazines to show the make-up artist various looks that appeal to you.

Mention if you have any skin problems or allergies etc. or if there are any particular ways you wear your make-up.

If you are having a day-time wedding it is ideal to organise the trial during the day as this will give you a better idea as to how the make-up will look.
