You’ve got the dress, the shoes and accessories, you’ve finally sorted your bridesmaids and flowers, even the groom is happy. Now all you need to think about is your makeup. If you have never applied wedding makeup before, you might be a little nervous about doing so. However, with these wedding makeup tips, you will learn how to apply the best bridal makeup to look your best and get the most beautiful wedding you’ve ever had.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #1: Don’t skip on the foundation! This may seem like a no-brainer, but many brides opt to skip the foundation and opt for an even lighter foundation instead. This light makeup will not even come close to matching the natural tone of your skin. Trust me. This makeup mistake is the most common one. You simply want to wear light makeup to compliment your natural skin tone, not match it exactly! If you have fair skin, you may want to go for a lighter foundation. If you have a medium to dark skin tone, you can get away with a little more darker foundation. It just depends on what you are going for.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #2: Recycle
Bridal make up is supposed to make you look beautiful, not shaped up. recycling your makeup is a great way to make your beauty budget go further. Of course, you can buy recyclable makeup from makeup stores. But the best way to go green with your makeup is to bring all proceeds of your makeup home! When you bring these kits home, you can smell the recycled make up and feel good about it. Yourself and the environment will reap the benefits of your action. A portion of the sales will be donated to Cancer Research foundations.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #3: Handyah
One of the worst things you can do when putting on makeup is to forget to clean your face. How many times have you washed your face and wipes tastes and oils from your face and then you realize you forgot to wipe the rest of it off? Enjoy the day, enjoy your friends and family and maybe think of a fun date.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #4: Face Powder
How many times have you forgotten to put on face powder or foundation and everything you touch turns into a glob of goo? Get it right with face powder. When you put on face powder you can immediately touch up if necessary. And if you forget, you can use a little baby powder to help set your face powder.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #5: Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is a tricky thing. People don’t understand how to use it and they just keep putting it on. Learn to use eye shadow and you’ll be amazed at the beautiful look you can achieve. By applying eye shadow you can easily enhance the colors of your eyes. It can also help open up and enlarge your eyes. Just experiment with different colors.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #6: Blush
Blush is the finishing touch to get that beautiful, wide awake look. Blush can be used on many areas of the face. You can apply it on the cheeks to get a little glowing look. You can also apply it on the eyelids to make them seem a little bigger. The bottom line is blush can be used anywhere on your face.
Beautiful Makeup Tip #7: Clothes
Have you ever thought about what you put on your body? No? Cool, I thought so. Turns out most of what you do put on your body is absorbed through your clothes. Which means clothes is a big NO for a healthy, glowing complexion. And, clothes that stain is a definite NO. So, be careful not only when you are putting on clothes, but when you are taking them off. This is especially important with the clothing you wear to bed. You want to sleep in comfy clothes that do not stain.
Beautiful Makeup Tip # 8: Diet
Yes, I learned this one from Horace Walts, the author of “Go Slow”. Diet has just as much effect on the way you feel as it does on the way you look.
Diet has so many chests, from diet pills to gyms. The key to losing weight is to eat the right foods.Eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables.
Dieteners who are thirsty and crave sweet will find it more difficult to weight themselves, because they will sabotage their diet by nibbling a little too many sweets.
So, if you are a weighainer, try to think of foods that are both yummy and good for you.
I hope some of these tips help. Remember, you can be beautiful without spending a lot of money.
