How to Apply Make Up for your Wedding

Facial treatment should be done months before the wedding. This gives time for the face to rejuvenate and form a new layer. Having the facial treatment on the eve of the wedding will leave a taut irritable skin that may act up when you apply make up. Visit the spa a few months in advance for the treatment and then start your fitness and cleansing routine prior to the wedding. Take charge of your diet, drink the recommended amount of water, get sufficient rest and the skin will not fail you on your wedding day. On the morning of the big day, the procedure will be simple. You can hire a beautician or do it yourself because it only involves touch ups and light applications. The choice of products to use should be guided by the venue, time of the event and your skin. The basics like moisturizer, foundation and pencils can be the ones you have been using daily. Look for soft choices if the event is in the open and go for the broad ones if the wedding will be held inside or at night.

If you have a stylish gown, you can apply make up that is charming. If the gown is conservative, do not have a very artificial face. All this might be too hard to complete because of time or you will be late for the event. Therefore, you can practice this procedure a few days before the wedding and you will have the steps in your fingertips.

This will also eliminate any products that may irritate your face. When it comes to the application process, cleanse and moisturize the face. Dot the foundation and blend it with a sponge evenly. You should run the sponge to your neck so that the shade on the face matches the neck. If your gown is strapless, extend the sponge slightly over your upper chest. Take the powder brush and sponge it beginning from the hairline, down to around the ears, to the cheeks and back, then up again. Do this to the neck area. On the eyes, shape the eyebrow slightly with the eye liner. You can use the same shade to draw the lids. Apply make up base before the eye shadow to prevent gaps that may crack the look. Use the mascara on the eyes and coat them twice only. The motion should be away from your face. When complete, sweep over the closed eyelids with the eye brush to remove any clump on the mascara. Smear the lipstick evenly then use a lip liner to trace the outline of the lips. On the same note, use a white tissue to bloat the lips. Insert it between your lips and press your lips together slightly. You can assemble the essentials like lip balm and blusher for use during the photo session and your maid of honor will help you carry this. Do not forget the wet wipes; you might get teary.
