Whether dramatic or demure, make-up that is both thoughtfully and skillfully/artfully applied~ will bring out the beauty in every *blushing* bride.
Offering simple solutions to getting the look you want, these easy-to-follow make-up tips are share-worthy and taken from the fall/winter issue of Minneapolis St. Paul Weddings magazine.
Do:
- Schedule a consultation with a makeup artist at least 2-3 months before your wedding day. Be ready to talk about your ideas and bring bring photos to help you explain.
- Practice complete make up application during your consultation. Leave your make-up on all day so you know how it feels and looks over many hours.
- Get your picture taken after you've "found' your look so you can see if you look great in the pictures too. Make sure your make-up artist takes detailed notes. No relying on memory for wedding day and you'll get the look you want!
- Use liquid eyeliner and not a pencil.
Don't:
- Wear frosted eye shadow. Frosted shades crease easily and pick up the camera flash in a bad way. Instead, opt for the mattes.
- {Wear a lip color with a blue base} if you plan to have black and white photos taken. The blue-based colors will look black on film.
- Wear translucent powder. This can actually draw color away from the face and make you look mask-like in photos. Instead, go for the powder with honey or yellow tones. -Jane DiLeo of Mnpls. St. Weddings
