BRIDAL MAKEUP- TOP 10 Tips

Whether you are natural, glam or somewhere in between ~ using these 10 bridal makeup tips will unveil the most beautiful looking you!

1. Don't change too far from your everyday look. You want to reflect the very best YOU on your special day.

2. Be sure to gently exfoliate 3-5 days prior to your wedding day to ensure a smooth canvas for your makeup application.

3. Go for a medium coverage type of foundation and use concealer sparingly - to avoid the 'makeup mask' type look.

4. Using a silicone based face primer prior to your makeup application, will help control excess oils and perspiration throughout your special, busy day.

5. If you don't normally wear makeup, try a fresh-faced minimal look - it will keep you from looking washed out in photographs.

6. Consult a professional makeup artist and schedule a trial session. Planning your hair and makeup trial on the same day will help you get an overall vision of your soon to be wedding look. Discuss at least three looks and don't hesitate to share any areas that you're not completely satisfied with.

7. Eyebrows! Thread your brows for a clean, face framing arch. The shape of your brows is essential to achieving symmetry. Never threaded before? Make sure to try it before your big day.

8. Keep and overall look in mind; what will enhance your dress, hair and jewelry? Consider a day or evening look and avoid drastic colors such as greens, blues and orange tones. Try to think timeless and not trendy!

9. Thinking about wearing false eyelashes? If you are comfortable in them - then definitely wear them! Wearing falsies will keep you looking bright eyed all day and avoid any unnecessary mascara runs (tear!). Never worn them? Have a pro apply them for fun, to see what you think!

10. Make sure that you're picture perfect all day! Hire your makeup artist for touch-ups after your ceremony and keep oil blotter sheets, sheer pressed powder and your lip color for continued brilliance throughout the night!
