For many brides, their wedding day makeup will be their first encounter with a professional makeup artist. It’s important to do your homework in advance and find someone you really trust. You’ll never look more beautiful than on your wedding day, and with all those cameras pointing in your direction, you’ll need a makeup that guarantees a full day of uninterrupted gorgeousness. We’re sharing our wisdom about flawless wedding makeup right here.

Flawless wedding makeup tips

1. Keep it Natural: On your wedding day, you want to look and feel the most beautiful version of yourself.  It’s not the day to experiment with a new make-up look.  You don’t want see a stranger in the mirror or worse yet, look back at your wedding photos and say, ‘Oh my god, what was I thinking?!’  Keep it natural and gorgeous.

2. Brighten up Later: Remember you can always add more gloss/sparkle or a slightly brighter lipstick after the church and photos for the reception.

3. Stay in Your Budget: When it comes to bridal beauty, buying an entire set of new make-up specifically for the wedding is not practical. Buy a few new things that make you feel gorgeous, try choosing make-up that you will be able to wear again.

4. Maintain Good Habits: To prevent skin reactions, don’t change your skincare regime before your wedding and double up on water intake at least one month prior to the wedding to keep your skin clear and glowing. It really does make a difference.

5. Don’t Look Like the Tin Man: Make-up with sheen is pretty but don’t get carried away. Reflective products look nice in person but when the flash goes off the shine is doubled or tripled.

6. Choose Long Lasting Products:Go for long lasting make-up products to ensure all day performance. Waterproof mascara is a good option. The last thing you want is to constantly reapply.

7.  Touch-Up: Appoint a “spot checker”. This could be one of your bridesmaids. Ask them to let you know if your make up needs touching up. .
