Make your wedding makeup by the beautician
Do at least one try wedding makeup at the same time as trying hairstyle. They will harmonize all the better. Make your beauty appointments about 3 months before (trial and D-Day session).
Coup d'éclat the day before
To have a glowing face and rested features, treat yourself to a relaxing session in an institute. You will be recommended a brilliant treatment (a scrub, a gentle exfoliation to remove the dead skin and to chase the greyness followed by intense hydration and soft massages).
Wedding Makeup on D Day
Do not do anything before going to the beautician.
In the morning, apply only a moisturizing fluid cream but do not make-up.
The beautician will start with a "magic" bulb that holds make-up. During the practice session, you will have already presented the style of the dress and accessories. She'll just have to make final makeup.
Trust your manicure: discreet and natural.
Ask him some tips and products for the evening's touch-ups!
Make your wedding makeup yourself
Do not hesitate to change make-up, try before but do not lose sight of that the wedding makeup is neither that of everyday nor that of a New Year's Eve. Natural and sophisticated will be your watchwords!
Start early
Buy a few weeks before anything you need and do some testing to avoid a reaction to a new product!
Think of beauty and not just make-up, so get enough to prepare your skin 3 months before (scrub, moisturizing vitamin cream, hand cream, nail oil, slimming cream, depilatory cream in addition to foundations, blush, mascara, lips).
Coup d'éclat the day before
As with the pros, make a gentle scrub followed by a whiplash treatment (revitalizing mask, flash bulb, tightening fluid).
Wedding Makeup on D Day
In the morning, apply a moisturizing fluid cream but do not make-up.
Make your manicure with a clear or slightly pink varnish. Avoid sharp tones.
A few hours before the ceremony, apply a base of make-up (in gel or in bulb, that you will find in perfumery and centers of beauty).
Then start the wedding makeup.
The complexion
The beauty of your complexion will be the very first step that you will combine for your wedding makeup.
Your skin should be glowing, but not shiny, slightly tanned, smooth.
The foundation
It is important to test before buying it, on the back of the hand for example.
Colors
Use a foundation that matches your basic complexion: if you have very pale skin and use a dark foundation, the result will not be natural. Ask for advice when buying your products.
Advice and application
The foundation task. You will have to be vigilant on the quantity and apply it only after putting your dress, at the risk of seeing it somewhat orange on the collar.
Apply a small amount to the four corners of your face (forehead, cheeks, chin). Then make small circles with your fingers so that it absorbs well, and make sure to spread it over the entire face and stretch the product on the neck so that there is no demarcation. A poorly impregnated foundation makes the skin shine, and for once, it is better not enough than too much.
Finalize by giving you good looks with a pink blush (clear skins) or golden (matt skins).
The eyes
It is your eyes, mainly, that "betray" your emotions on your wedding day. So many eyes will converge towards them, so make them with special attention.
Colors
You will have to be vigilant in the choice of your colors, it is they that will highlight your eyes, will give them all the brilliance they deserve.
Your eyes are blue
To put: gray taupe, caramel, violine
Avoid: green, blue
Your eyes are brown
To put: all the declensions of browns, gold
Avoid: gray, black
Your eyes are green
To put: declination of violets (lilac in particular), gray, gold
To avoid: blue, green
For your wedding makeup, avoid colors too dark. They generally help to bring out the iris, but darken the look, and can therefore give you a little air of sadness, which must be avoided on this day.
For mascara, set aside the hues too conspicuous. Opt for black, since it is the natural color of your eyelashes. Mascara is not meant to be eye-catching, but is used to give volume and length to your eyelashes.
As for the pencil, which makes the look more sparkling, there is no such thing as black accompanied or not by a pencil of a much paler color (for example, pink very clear for the green eyes).
Method
Eye shadow
Cover the whole of the upper eyelid (up to the edge of the eyebrows) with a very clear color.
Then add a shade of darker color, starting from the inside of the eye to the outside in a line which gradually thickens and degrading the color, so that it is darker at the outer end of the eye.
The pencil
Then apply a fine pencil line just above the eye. If you are using a light pencil and a dark pencil, apply the clear over the lower lashes, and the dark below, into a very fine line.
The mascara
The posing of mascara is the most delicate operation, as the goal is both to spread, lengthen, and give volume.
Open your eyes wide, place your brush along the length of the lashes, and close your eyelid slightly, so that they lengthen well. Then iron the brush several times, and make small zigzag movements to separate them well.
And do not forget to pass the brush on the lower eyelashes, but without too pronouncing.
