Top Ten Bridal Makeup Tips

A Bridal Makeover is as much for the photo album as it is going to be for the big day itself. The classic bridal makeover look is one that is fresh and light, that uses subtle colors so that your makeup looks as natural as possible. No matter what look you are trying to achieve the following top ten bridal makeup tips will help you to shine in the best possible way:

1. Choose a suitable eyeliner that doesn’t look too dramatic. Browns and grey’s work really well to enhance the eye, whilst black can tend to look to harsh. Use an eyeliner brush to blend your eyeliner in with your eye shadow so that no hard lines are apparent.
2. The best eye makeup tips for photo shoots is to choose a base with light reflecting pigments, which will look great on camera giving your skin a dewy look. Try to avoid suing iridescent or pearlised shadows on the eyes, because this will reflect light in the photo shoot making the eyes look to shiny. Stick to matte products instead.
3. Bushing mascara down first on the upper eyelashes and then upwards gives lashes a lift, helping to make eyes look wider and sparkling. Finish by using eyelash curlers which will magically open the eye further.
4. For a bit more drama you can create a great makeup look by adding false eyelashes to the outer third corner of the eye. This will help eyes to look wider, without looking to overdone.
5. Eyebrows frame the face and set the makeup look off. Ensure the brows are tidy and use brush and eye brow pencil to help frame the eye with a defined but natural looking brow.
6. The best mineral foundation for your skin is going to be one that has light reflecting pigment, which will leave your skin looking fresh and dewy. Another tip is to leave your concealer until the end of the makeup, to ensure that under the eyes looks fresh and bright for that photo finish
7. When it comes to the blush, stick to very natural looking cheeks.  Rose works great on fair skin and peach and coral for medium skin tones and for darker skin apply a natural dusting of bronzer, which will help to offset that sun kissed look.
8. Remember that mismatched lip liner and lipstick is not a good look for a bride. Use warmer more natural colors on your lips such as pinks, corals and peach. When applying blot away any excess and then add another coat to give it wear and durability, set with powder and then seal with a dash of lip gloss.
9. Use a natural lip liner that will help to create the illusion of fuller looking lips, apply the liner all over the lips, which will still leave a natural stain if your lipstick wears off.
10. One way of ensuring your makeup lasts throughout the day is to set everything together with a dusting of translucent powder and be sure to keep a lipstick handy for those occasional touch ups.

Make sure everything is blended together seamlessly, ensuring there are no obvious desquamation marks around your chin and hairline, in order to achieve that flawless finish for your big day.
