On your big day, you want your wedding
makeup to last. Not only that, but you want to look stunning in your
photographs. In order to insure that your makeup will last as long as possible,
it may be best to hire a professional to take care of it. However, here is some
advice to keep in mind even if you do hire a makeup
artist.
Use a makeup base. Several cosmetic companies offer products that go
on under your eye makeup or lipstick that help your makeup last. Eye makeup
base provides a layer that your eyeshadow and eyeliner can adhere to. This
prevents creasing and helps the colour stay on longer. They offer similar
products for lipstick. However, try to find a lipstick base that is also
moisturizing. Some products contain ingredients that dry the lips out. You'll
need your lips to stay nice and moist so you can smile all day.
Get rid of extra shine. A shiny face looks even worse in photographs,
especially if the photographer uses a flash. After washing your face, apply an
oil controlling product. After that absorbs, apply a thin layer of loose
powder. Apply foundation and the rest of your makeup as usual. Follow up with
another thin layer of loose powder. Carry some pressed powder with you so you
can control any shine as the day progresses.
Lasting lipstick. One of the first things to fade is your lipstick.
Follow these tips that will help your lipstick last. First, apply a
moisturizing lip base. Then, apply lip liner in a shade that is a little darker
than your lipstick. Use a soft pencil. Fill the lips in with the pencil. Apply
one coat of lipstick and blot gently. Apply another coat of lipstick but this
time do not blot. Press a thin layer of facial tissue gently to your lips.
Using a large brush, apply a thin layer of pressed powder to the tissue. The
tissue acts as a screen, letting in only a small amount of powder. The powder helps
the lipstick set and keeps it on longer.
look, you still may need to do some minor touch ups throughout the day. Pack
pressed powder, lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow just in case your colour needs
a boost.
