Getting married is supposed to be a magical journey that

So we've put together some essential makeup tips that are going to take you through the fun,
festivities, dancing & even the tears!

of the best makeup products to have in your bridal kit.
A bridal glow must come from within! If you want to keep your skin supple & dewy you need
to hydrate it with a lot of water prior to the big event. For at least 2-3 weeks before the big day,
ensure your water intake is a minimum of 3 litres a day. If you struggle with this you can try
eating foods that contain a high percentage of water such as cucumbers or watermelons or
add refreshing fruity flavours to your water to make sipping it throughout the day enjoyable!
Scour Pinterest to find your perfect wedding makeup look and schedule a trial with your
chosen makeup artists at least a week before the big day. This gives you the opportunity
to experiment with different looks or refine the one you’ve chosen until it’s
perfect! Also take plenty of pictures to make to ensure the looks work both on & off camera!
Follow a strict skincare regime at least a month & a half
prior to the wedding so you know what works and what doesn't for your own skin. Then,
on the actual day prep your skin at least a few hours before you apply your makeup to
really make it glow! Use a non greasy fast absorbing moisturiser as it acts as the perfect
base and gives your skin a healthy finish and a good lip balm to prevent flaky lips!
Natural light is flattering on all skin tones
so doing your makeup sitting against a large window will give you an exact representation
of what your makeup is going to look like during the day & in photos as well! This
way you can easily tick all the basics of your makeup look - get the perfect foundation shade,
make sure your contour is not too harsh & achieve a seamless blend to prevent any creases & texture!
For that perfect combination of bridal fashion & makeup, the key is balance! You need to make sure
everything is complimentary as opposed to fighting to overshadow each other. If you're wearing muted
tones for your clothes, picking a bright red or pink lipstick might not be the best call.
Instead, pick a darker hue from the same colour family, and accentuate your eyes with a dramatic
eyeliner. If you're wearing solid colours like a black or a dark blue, play up either
your eyes or your lips—you don't want very dark makeup to make you look dull either!
Even happy tears can ruin your makeup look in seconds
so waterproof that look using heavy duty products like a 16-24hr foundation, waterproof mascara &
liquid lipsticks! This doesn't mean your makeup needs to look cakey, you just need to go in with
one light layer of every product at a time to build a smooth, long-lasting & flawless look!
A long day of wedding festivities do take a toll on your makeup so even if everything else has
worn off, a lip & cheek stain will always have your back! These products are easy to
apply and stay on through the sweat & tears to still give you a naturally flushed look
at the end of the day! The trick to making it look like you just got your makeup done,
even at the end of a tiring wedding ceremony is to have some secret weapons at hand!
If you have oily skin - keep blotting papers & a compact in your purse,
if you’re going to be eating or drinking keep your chosen shade of lipstick at hand and reapply every
few hours. If tears make your under eye crease just whip out your beauty blender to blot.
This will press the product into the skin instead of leaving streaks or wiping it away
Stick by these simple tips and we promise they’ll get you through your special day!
We wish you lots of love, luck & happiness until next time stay tuned & stay glamrs!
