8 Wedding Makeup Tips Every Bride Should Know
April 21, 2022
Don’t Cake On Foundation
Here’s the thing: Bridal makeup should look natural, so the more you look like yourself when walking down the aisle, the better. If you’re typically drawn to a more dewy look, forgo the heavy, matte foundation and opt for a light, illuminating product like a tinted moisturizer. We love the YSL Beauty Nu Bare Look Tint for radiant, natural-looking coverage.
Don’t Forget the Eyebrows
Eyebrows complete every makeup look, so all the more reason to define your brows for the big day. To keep your brows looking their best, reach for something longwearing, like the L’Oréal Paris Unbelieva-Brow Longwear Top Coat, which locks your brows in place for up to 30 hours.
Don’t Get a Spray Tan the Day Before
Sunless tanning is a wonderful thing, but it can also go terribly wrong should you rely on inexperienced hands or untested devices. If you’re going the spray tan route, discuss the timing with your technician and make sure you get a practice round at least a few weeks beforehand. This way, if you don’t like the results, you can choose to tweak the process and try again with plenty of time to spare. The same goes for DIY-ing your faux glow. Practice is crucial.Do Try Waterproof Mascara
If there’s any day with guaranteed waterworks, it’s your wedding day. From the vows to the speeches to your first dance, we are almost positive the tears will be flowing — but your makeup doesn’t have to be. Stick to waterproof options, like the Maybelline New York The Falsies Lash Lift Waterproof Mascara, since your lashes are closest to the waterworks.Don’t Wing It
If you want your face to be as flawless as your vows, you need to do a trial run before the big day. Whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring a glam squad, make sure to test out the look so you have one less thing to be nervous about on the big day.
Do Keep Products on Hand
Keep a few products with you throughout your wedding day, like lipstick, blotting papers and setting powder (we love the Dermablend Loose Setting Powder) so you can easily touch up your look.Read more
