Wedding day make up can make of break a bridal look. A bridal makeup job shouldn't obscure the natural features of the bride, rather play up her best features, and play down or remedy her worst.
Face
The basis of any makeup look is the skin. A brides skin needs to glow and look fresh and dewy. Layers of caked on makeup certainly don't achieve this. The best results for bridal foundation come from using an airbrush. While they may have seemed like fandangle machines ten years ago, today airbrushes are becoming the mainstream for special and even every day makeup looks. This is because they provide application and look of foundation that is simple unachievable with a sponge, brush or fingers.
For flawless, seamless and fresh-faced foundation, airbrushing is essential. Airbrushing is also the best way of doing bridal face contouring and highlighting, as the blend-ability of airbrush foundations and highlights is unmatched, not to mention the color-specificity that can be achieved with airbrush foundations. Contours should go on the temples, to slim the face, along the sides of the nose, to slim the nose, along the jaw line to give definition and of course under the cheekbones, blending with the blusher and the highlight.
Eyes
Unless you are going for the all-out drama of a sub-continental or Arab bride, then eye-tones should be kept simple-grays, whites, browns and soft pinks are the traditional bridal colors. To make the eyes pop and look wider, clearer and brighter, place a pearlescent highlight shade (white, cream) on the center of the top lid, in the inner corner of the eye and under the arch of the eyebrow. These places catch the light, and create an optical illusion of bright, open eyes. A white eyeliner can also be run on the bottom waterline to make eyes look brighter
Lashes are also an important part of Wedding Day Make Up, as they give a little extra oomph to the eye. A full set, half set of individual lashes can be used to great effect for Wedding Day Make Up.
Lips
Again, unless drama is your aim, steer clear of strong colors-not only will they detract from the overall balance of the face, but they run the risk of kissing off on new hubby and numerous wedding guests. To give the illusion of fuller, poutier lips, use a slightly darker shade of lip pencil just in the corners of the mouth, and about 1cm along the lip line. Make sure it is blended well, but it will give the illusion of depth, and hence pout. For even more pout, apply a pearlescent highlight to the center of the lips, just dabbing it there with a finger-this won't be visible as a color, but it will reflect light and make lips appear fuller.
