A June bride can be a glorious sight. But makeup meltdowns can ruin that wedding day glow. Here’s how to face your big day with flawless style.
Skin is in
-Use a very sheer foundation over well-moisturized skin. Even if you have a perfect complexion it will smooth out your facial tone and provide a base for your makeup.
-Apply concealer sparingly around the nose, under the eyes or on any tiny blemishes. Then whisk lightly with a sheer powder to set. Remember, less is more. Use powder with a very light hand.
-Keep blotting papers in your bridal handbag. Use them, instead of powder, on your big day to avoid a cakey look
Eye lights
-Dot foundation on lids before you apply shadows. This will help your makeup last throughout the day.
-Avoid eye pencils and shadows that are greasy. They will crease easily and smudge in no time at all.
-Use waterproof mascara. This will guarantee that your tears of joy look beautiful, not smeared.
-Appy a light shimmery shade in gold to the corner of eyes or the center of lids. Your eyes will pop and look bright and beautifull all day long.
Lip service
-To make lipstick last longer apply, blot and repeat. Do this two or three times to build the intensity of color.
-Go for moist, timeless lips. Too much gloss will make your wedding day smile look goopy, not gorgeous.
-Avoid brown-toned lipsticks. These shades look muddy in photographs. Instead, opt for sheer shades of peach, pink and red for a breathtaking smile.
