Bridal Make Up Tips
Whether you are making a cake, building a staircase or creating a report, the end result won’t be very pleasing if you don’t complete the project completely and add the finishing touches. The cake might taste great but look uninviting without the icing, the staircase will be usable if built well but won’t attract buyers if it is not varnished or painted; and a report might have some ground-breaking information but won’t get attention if it is not put together well.
What does this have to do with beauty? A lot. Many women believe that being well dressed is enough. An expensive suit and great shoes and they are all set. However, being well dressed is just one side of looking great, the other side is looking after you skin and hair and using makeup. Equal attention must be devoted to these aspects in order to achieve a great look.
No matter what time of day it is, or how busy you are, there are certain golden rules when applying your makeup.
Laying The Foundations
Foundation should be the perfect match to your skin tone. Nobody looks good when they have skin the color of a pumpkin! And worse yet, beware of the tidemarks at the jaw line. Always make sure that your foundation is well blended if you want to avoid looking like you’re wearing a mask.
Top tip - if you use a shimmering moisturizer before you apply your foundation then your skin will absolutely glow!
Dark Circles?
No way! There is a huge range of products on the market for different tones and textures of concealer. Don’t be tempted to go two shades lighter than your natural color, as it will make the darkness of your skin more gray and muddy. And be careful not to lay it on too thick. Apart from the fact that it looks like you’re wearing too much makeup, it may also damage the delicate skin beneath your eyes. Remember, you want to tint the discoloration, not mask it.
Top tip - Have a good look at the actual color of your dark circles. If your darkness is gray, lightly apply a soft pink eye shadow to the circles before applying your foundation. If your darkness is more of a blue hue, use a light peach color first instead.
Powdering Up
Keep your powder application light by using loose powder and a big brush for application. Less is definitely more here. Make sure that you buy a good powder that will sink into your skin, rather than visibly lie of the top of it.
Top tip - before applying your powder, try blotting your foundation with a tissue. This will remove any excess oils, and help to stop you from getting ’shiny’.
Blushing Beauty
Only apply your blush to the apples of your cheeks, and build up the color layers slowly. Next, blend the blush in so that the color looks natural. Remember, you’re just trying to enhance the facial definition that you already have. No matter how much we may want to, it is impossible to draw on fantastic cheekbones. Just be yourself!
Top tip - if you make a mistake and put too much blusher on, don’t panic! You don’t need to start over. Instead, just moisten a sponge and gently dab your cheeks with it. This will dilute the color and return your overall look to something acceptable!
Luscious Lips
Whatever lipstick you use, there is one golden rule to follow… just make sure that it is right for your skin tone, hair and eye coloring. Go vampy for the night time with darker shades, and keep it calm and cute with tinted lip-gloss during the day.
Top tip - if you want great looking shimmery lips try applying sparkling eye shadow over the top of your lipstick to create a new shiny shade, absolutely free!
Powerful Peepers
So long as it’s applied in a constant, unwobbly line, your eyeliner can be as bold as you wish. Use lighter shades of eye shadow during the day, and go darker at night. A shimmering highlighter applied just beneath the eyebrow gives even the most tired looking peepers a lift. And always apply your mascara in thin coats, building up the length and thickness slowly. This helps to avoid that terrible clumping which can happen it you try to apply too much, too soon.
Top tip - blend your eyeliner with a thin layer of eye shadow. This will make your eyes look absolutely magnetic!
If you are not used to wearing makeup and feel that you will look foolish or you are not sure how to apply it, consult a beauty advisor.

can anyone suggest make up tips for a subtle bridal look?
i like the whole smoky eye effect but i don’t want to use make up on my eyes thats toooo dark. i found a you tube instructional video for bridal makeup but she used a purple and black and although it looked brilliant - like i said, i don’t want it to look too heavy.
any tips ladies? what colours work well together? can you recommend a brand?
also - if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced blush suited for light olive skin i’d really appreciate it!
:/ maybe just the usual white?

For my bridal makeup I went down to the clinique counter at Debenhams and made an appointment for a bridal makeup session where they use their products to create the look you want. It’s free, they should be able to find the correct foundation for you too. At the end they give you a list of the make up they used so you can buy the products to use on your wedding day.
I would really reccomend it, other makeup counters in debenhams do the same too.

Hi there,i have found a crystal glitter fat pencil works, with maybe a light aqua blue tint to the eyes, and brings out a stunning glow to the face.for a nice colored blush i would suggest a Max factor pan-cake foundation with possible a easy kind of blush found at a family $1,or other places like that.i would also suggest a mild cherry-berry lipstick-gloss as well.
