6 Wedding Makeup Mistakes

It’s your big day and you wouldn’t want to look like a clown, a ghost or a mime. A bride can get her makeup just right if she starts avoiding key mistakes.

Mistake #1: Wearing too little coverage

Every bride wants to look fresh and awake. Depending on the bride’s skin type, use a matte finish for the oilier skins and a radiant finish for a drier skin. The most important part of photography is the finish to the skin. You want the face to look flawless. For instance, if undereye circles are not concealed properly, the eyes will get lost in the photo.

Mistake #2: Skimping on the blush

Wearing more blush than you think you should is usually the first thing to do, aside from the lips. If you ever see a celebrity in person, they’re always wearing more makeup than they look like they do in magazines. A little bit of extra blush can go a long way to add color to the face, giving that warm glow without looking
too bronze.

Tip: If you pinch the end of your finger so the blood pools in the tip, whatever color that is is going to be the most natural-looking color on you.

Mistake #3: Sticking with a too-natural lip gloss
It’s a good choice to go with the natural look but you can still pick a nice color that’s a shade
deeper than your lip tone. Wear something on your lips a little darker than normal, because it’s going to make the pictures so fantastic. Choose a shade darker than your lip tone in the beige family or you can line the lip and fill it in with a liner, then wear the gloss you always wear.

Mistake #4: Not having products to retouch

If you have a professional artist do your makeup, you want to make sure you have the same products on hand to touch up with throughout the day. The reason for this is to control shine, and the other reason is you want to make sure your skin tone looks the same throughout the night in photos. The same applies with your lip color; you want to make sure your lips are touched up with the same color all day or night long.

Mistake #5: Letting eye makeup melt and smudge

It’s never a pleasant sight to see brides with raccoon eyes. Choose budge-proof products for your to avoid such a mishap.

Mistake #6: Not checking for shine

The last thing a bride wants to see in her photographs is shine. When the skin is shiny, you lose the true features of the face. Use a primer because it helps with the longevity of your makeup, helping to control oil and shine. It also evens out your skin’s texture, creating a radiant finish.

Bonus Bridal Makeup Tip

When you’re having a makeup trial run, wear a white shirt. A color or a black shirt changes the whole color palette. Or if you don’t have a white top, put a white towel around your neck and take a few pictures like that. It gives a nice feel for how the palette is going to come out.
