Perfect bridal makeup

Bridal makeup is not a fashion makeup. The photos will be memories that we will keep for life and what we want is to see beautiful people regardless of the passing of the years and not to identify in which decade we got married. The perfect bridal make-up should be timeless, like Grace Kelly's on her wedding day, that can not be identified with any particular trend that may go out of style.

But above all you have to feel comfortable and favored on your wedding day, the makeup has to reflect your personality and your style, there are no pre-established rules of what should or should not be carried ... so go for it try it!

What type of foundation do you choose for the wedding?

The market offers endless products, formulas and textures and this can be overwhelming when it comes to choosing the perfect bridal makeup and wear a beautiful skin on the day of the wedding.


It is important to consider what our objectives are to be able to choose one basis or another:

1. We want a long-lasting result that leaves a perfect skin to flash proofs.

2 .. We want a more natural look and healthy possible.

For these reasons, we will choose resistant bases that last at least 12 hours and that adapt to our skin type with the aim of obtaining a natural result.

If we have the Dry skin will be better to choose a fluid base more moisturizing, that brings luminosity and freshness to the skin. If our skin is mixed or fat, it will be preferable to opt for formulas that do not contain oils and that have particles that mattify and control the brightness.


What color do I choose the bridal makeup base?

When choosing the color of our makeup base, we must keep in mind some guidelines that may be useful.

We want the color of our face to be the same as that of the neckline and body, that there are no cuts and that we see a uniform set.

The face usually has redness, small spots or discolorations that can distort the color, and the neck is always clearer than the rest of the body. For these reasons, the best way to hit with the color of a base is testing it on the neckline, the color has to disappear and merge with the skin.

On the other hand, it is important to bear in mind that some makeup bases oxidize quite easily which causes them to darken to a different extent. This is why it is recommended to try the foundation before buying it and wait a few hours to check that it does not get too dark and we do not really need a lighter shade.


Beware of the glitters on the wedding day!

The glitters and flashes can play a trick, but it is easy to keep them at bay following some simple tips:

In case of doubt, it is always better to opt for matt or satin finished products. It is preferable to avoid products that contain too many light reflectors such as very bright or metallic eye shadows, or dark circles with "reflective particles".

You can use illuminators as long as they are subtle and do not contain glitter. You have to place them in "strategic" points such as the top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose or above the upper lip, which suits you best, and blur them very well.

Also take care with silica-based micronized powders or "high-definition powders" and with products that contain a high sun protection factor. These products can be terrible for photography because they reflect a lot the light of the flashes, giving us a whitish appearance in the photos.

Try makeup before the wedding

Do not leave anything to improvisation for the big day. To not take a surprise, you have to try the makeup in advance and see how we have left. It is highly recommended to take pictures with and without flash to see if the result satisfies us or if we need a powder that matifies more or a shadow that shines less ...

When we do the test it is better if we wear a white shirt or dress: the effect of makeup can be very different and maybe you see that you need more color than you thought.
