Do this 3 months before the wedding for that glow
Makeup tips for the bride
- Choose the airbrush technique if you do not want to re-apply your makeup throughout the day.
- If you are an emotional person, make sure you pat your face instead of wiping your tears.
- Have your dress picked out beforehand, so you can bring a picture to your stylist so that she can decide on your hairdo on priority.
- Hire a professional hairstylist and makeup artist for your wedding day, as it will impact your pictures and video.
- Ask your potential stylist to show you their reviews, photos of their work and testimonials from past clients. All this is just to know that you are dealing with a professional. You must not compromise with the quality.
- Do not just go for what looks good on you, but also for what you feel most comfortable with. We aim to look like our best selves and not like someone else.
- Have service consultations, and schedule them for at least six months before the wedding. You and your stylist should choose your hair and makeup designs in advance.
- Bring someone you feel comfortable with and whose opinion you trust. The people you choose should be the ones who love you, want the best for you and lift you.
- Make someone take a digital photo of you on their camera or phone before walking down the aisle. Doing this will help you spot the obvious things people surrounding you did not notice, which showed up in pictures. It is one of the best makeup tips for the bride.
- Ensure that your bridal hair and makeup complement and balance your dress for a consistent look.
- Choose a flattering hairstyle first, and then purchase a headpiece or hair ornaments that will work well with your hairstyle and dress.
- It is better to bring your headpiece and veil to your hairstylist.
- Always share your personal preferences during consultation.
- Refrain from trying something absolutely different on your wedding day based on the latest trends. Your hair and makeup should only enhance your features and not make you look like some other human.
- Confirm that the people you hire are professional and reliable and provide you with the best quality.
- DO not forget to get a monthly facial. It is the best way to deeply clean and exfoliate your skin.
- Follow a daily skincare regimen appropriate for your skin type.
- Moisturise your skin before makeup.
- Make sure that your makeup is done in good natural lighting.
- It is advisable to do shimmery makeup and not a sparkly one.
- Do not ignore the importance of primer and setting spray.
- Use waterproof makeup products.
- Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to help keep your skin clear.
- Do not overdo anything.
- If you sweat easily, make sure you use a translucent powder on your skin.
- Your eyes tend to get red and strained during the wedding, so carry eye-cooling drops.
- Start working out and taking a healthy diet 6-8 months before the wedding day.
- The best way to get the glow from the inside is by drinking juices and smoothies packed with nutrients.
- Do not stress out. Find ways to alleviate your pre-wedding concerns, such as doing yoga, going for walks, or meditating. Stress affects us not only mentally but physically as well.
- Do not get any chemical peel or laser done in the ten days before your wedding – that goes for the face, body and hair. If you want to get these treatments done, make sure that you do that six months prior to your wedding. You should have enough time to fix anything that might go wrong.
- Do not try a dramatic hair colour or style.
- Always keep the touch-up products such as lipstick, lip liner, lip gloss and oil blotting tissues.
Most seductive perfumes for women
- Take ideas from other people when it comes to your dress, hair and makeup, as it will help you choose in a better way.
- Start self-tanning at least a week before the wedding.
- Remember- too much tan is never good for the wedding. Being too dark in comparison to your natural skin tone is not pretty.
- Keep pain killers with you just in case you get a headache.
- Do not forget to wear a perfume that matches your personality. Right fragrance really adds to our look. Just ensure that your scent is long-lasting, and do not bathe in it.
- Do not wash your hair on your wedding day. Wash it the day before. It is easier to style your hair that way, and also, the natural oil from your scalp will not make your hair look frizzy.
- Wear a button-down or zippered shirt before you start your hair and makeup so that it does not get ruined when you wear your dress.
- Keep calm, composed and positive people around you during your wedding. We do not want negative people with their mean comments.
- Be receptive to the compliments.
- If you are not feeling very confident knowing that it is your day, feel like a queen n act as if you own the place.
