Wedding Day Makeup Tips
Firstly, we recommend the use of a professional make-up
artist on your special day.
Secondly, DO NOT go to a Tanning Booth or use a
Spray Tan right before the wedding day.

If you insist on doing it yourself or having someone you know
do your makeup then please read these tips to make sure that
your pictures turn out as special as your day!

Tip #1 : BLEND, BLEND, BLEND
You can use your everday makeup, but use more than you
normally use every day. Many makeup professionals use airbrush makeup, the method of choice for high-definition TV, because it's lightweight, waterproof and gives flawless coverage.
Tip #2 : SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE
Use less makeup for a day wedding and more for evenings.
You can get dramatic with eye makeup.
Tip #3 : DON'T SKIMP ON CONCEALER
Use a moisturized concealer on the thin, sensitive skin
under the eyes. If your concealer isn't moisturizing, blend it
with a skin cream. For blemishes, first treat them with a
natural or over-the-counter anitinflammatory, then
cover with concealer.
Tip #4 : DO A MAKEUP TRIAL RUN
It's the only sure-fire, stress-free way to make certain
your makeup will look beautiful.
Tip #5 : NOT ALL MINERAL MAKEUP IS CREATED EQUAL
Titanium dioxide, a chemical used as sun block, can reflect flash, giving
the bride a ghostly appearance. In 2009 makeup artist Annie May
launched a line of mineral makeup especially formulated for
photography called Advanced Mineral Makeup. May promises
it won't white-out the bride under a flash.
Tip #6 : USE WATERPROOF MAKEUP WITH STAYING POWER
You don't want to spend your reception in the bathroom
reapplying your makeup. Foundation, eyeliner and mascara all should be waterproof. And in case you cry (and you
probably will), have a tissue or handkerchief handy to
gently blot your tears right at the eye.
Tip #7 : KEEP YOUR LIPS MOISTURIZED AND COLORED
Dry lips look dreadful in photos. Have someone carry your
lipstick for you and touch up often. Matte and gloss lipstick
both photograph well, and be sure to use blended lip liner for
enhanced definition.
Tip #8 : DON'T FORGET THE GROOM
If the groom is red faced due to too much sun (or drinking), a
little powder can help. That goes for shiny heads, too. And
it's a good idea to slip a tube of Chapstick in the groom's
pocket for his dry lips, as well as a handkerchief to dab well-wishers' makeup smudges off his suit.
Tip #9 : DON'T SPRINKLE ON GLITTER
In photographs, it tends to look like little white spots, as if
there's something wrong with the camera.
Tip #10 : REMEMBER
Remember to apply foundation and powder to your neck,
shoulders and decolletage - you want your head to look like it belongs to your body!
