A wedding day make up would definitely be very different form the regular days and yet it is essential to remember that it does not spoil the beauty of the bride by heavy application or experimenting on the grand day. The ideal bridal make up would accentuate the bride's beauty and conceal the flaws naturally. But perfect, unblemished and radiant skin can be easily achieved by following a few basic rules. The first mistake many brides make is to apply heavy foundation on the day to even out the imperfections.



Summer makeup should look light and fresh. A heavily made up face just doesn't look right on a summer afternoon in the garden or on the beach (this goes for the guests too, by the way). When makeup is applied with a lighter touch, it will also be less likely to melt in the heat and make a mess of your face.

Perfect Bridal Makeup Tips:

Select a good quality, lightly textured, foundation and apply with a fine soft brush for a perfect air-brushed complexion.

Now select a foundation. This is a very important part and you need to be very careful when choosing a foundation. You need to look for a product that suits your skin tone and is also long-staying. If you are having a summer or a beach wedding, look for something water resistant. The foundation should also be streak proof so that makeup lines don't show.

A long lasting lipstick is crucial for this big day with a lip liner complementing the color and standing out. It can be patted with a soft powder to make the lip color last longer. Waterproof mascara is a must, as the brides at times end up crying when parting from family and friends.

Eyebrows should be shaped 5-7 days before the wedding. Be sure not to pluck on your wedding day because you could land up with unattractive red bumps that are difficult to cover.

Remove all traces of makeup the night before your wedding. Avoid dry lips by putting a lip moisturizer on your lips before bed and the morning of your wedding. Your face should be clean and product free when the make-up artist arrives.

Eye makeup tips should be practiced ahead of time to guarantee you will not look like a makeup experiment as a worse scenario. Curling your lashes to make your eyes open and stick to dark colored mascaras will make you look more natural, but if you want to add a dramatic effect, line your lower lashes.
