You obviously want to look perfect on your wedding day and your make-up
will need to be right, you will not want to look back at your wedding photos and think why
did I wear that bright pink blusher all over my face.
We decided to speak to Victoria Edwards a professional make-up artist from Moving
Makeup and asked her if she could give us some advise for all our brides to be.
| For perfect all-day make-up you need to
apply your cosmetics carefully to achieve a flawless, lasting appearance. Always moisturise your skin first; if you get a shiny forehead or nose,
apply and anti-shine gel too. |
|
| Use a foundation that matches your neck
and blend well under the jaw line, don't forget to do your eyelids too. Cover any
dark circles or blemishes now using a concealer stick. Apply
loose powder using a foam puff in firm 'rolling' movements starting from your eyelids
working down the rest of your face. use a big brush to dust away excess powder. |
|
| Next do your eyes, nothing too
experimental though, you need to feel comfortable with it. Maybe go for a natural
look i.e. neutral colours of beige and cream with a little brown or black pencil
liner. A couple of coats of waterproof mascara to finish. Don't forget to pluck your eyebrows; try to enhance them using a fine
brush loaded with a light beige eye shadow. |
|
| Your lipstick should complement the
colours in your boquet, or if you have cream flowers, go for the natural pinkie-brown
apply a couple of coats, blotting in-between. Use a liner over the lipstick to avoid
that 'paint by numbers' look later on! A smack of lip gloss looks great too! |
|
| Lastly, apply blusher or bronzer to
complement the rest of your make-up, take the colour down your neck too. A final
dusting of shimmering powder over the shoulders always finishes the look. Tip: Carry a lipstick and some 'papier poudre' sheets to blot any
shiny areas later. |
