Be Yourself
A common mistake often made by many brides-to-be is going overboard with their make-up on their wedding day. Trying to look too different from your usual self should be avoided, aim for your natural look with just a touch of extra glamour and make-up that's been applied to last all through the evening.
Color Matters
Achieving just the right amount of color from your wedding day make-up can be tricky. Avoid garish colors or the dramatic approach, save that for the honeymoon if you must. Remember, photos of this day will be displayed and seen by many for years to come, the last thing you want is to look back at your choice of make-up and wonder what you were thinking.
Plan Ahead
The majority of brides are going to cry at least once during some point of their wedding day. Sooner or later, even the most prepared and stoic of brides will be shedding tears as the sentimentality of the day sets in. Waterproof make-up is the most sensible approach, and about the only way to avoid looking like a raccoon halfway through the ceremony. To prevent make-up from running, it's a good idea to keep the eye liner and mascara to a minimum on the lower lashes.
Tricks of the Trade
A simple way for keeping your foundation on as long as possible is to first apply concealer and foundation as normal, wait a few seconds, and then blot gently with a tissue. The tissue should absorb excess oils and leave behind the pigment. If you tend to remove too much foundation with this method, apply a bit more than you normally would before blotting.
Loose powder should be lightly applied with a large brush to set foundation. Applying powder onto the skin with a puff as opposed to a brush may actually cause too much of the powder to collect on the skin, ultimately causing it to sweat more than usual and appear shiny in photos.
For a perfect application of blush, choose a brush that's approximately the size of the apples of your cheeks. Pick up some color, just enough to be visible on the tip of the brush, and tap onto the cheeks, blending toward the temples. After applying, gently blending with a clean sponge will ensure the blush doesn't appear to be resting on top of the skin, but rather as a natural enhancement of the skin's color.
The tried and true trick of applying powder to the lips before lipstick, blotting and then repeating is the best way to ensure lasting coverage. First coat the lips with powder, fill in the entire lip area with lip liner, and then apply the lip color. Blot the lips then add another layer of powder before the final coat of color.
To brighten the eyes, try a soft white color on the brow bone, the inner corners of the eyes, and just above and below the lash line. To make eyes look larger, a light taupe color or sandy shade on the crease of the eyelid will do the job. A soft cotton swab is useful for blending eyeliner, and eyelash curlers should always be used prior to applying mascara.
