For your wedding, you want to look as good as you possibly can. Even though the event only lasts one day, wedding photos last forever.
You should start thinking about your wedding makeup months ahead of time, beginning with your skin. If you tend to have blemishes, consider visiting a dermatologist to get on the right track to clear skin. Drink plenty of water, as well as eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits – particularly berries. Berries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that very good for your skin.
For your wedding makeup, consider using a professional makeup artists who specializes in weddings. You want your skin to look natural and dewy, using pretty colors that photograph well.
Stay away from harsh eyeshadow colors and don’t line your lower lashes – which will make your eyes look smaller in photos. Also be sure to let your makeup artist know if you will be using primarily color or black and white photos, as that may make a difference in makeup.
For lipstick, steer clear of any colors with orange undertones, such as brick red. They will make your teeth look yellow. Look for true reds or those with blue undertones. Pink lip colors are also a favorite for weddings.
Give your makeup a trial run about two weeks before the big day to make sure that you have your game plan set and have all the cosmetics lined up you need.
