- Welcome to Beauty in Five Minutes,
I'm Amelia and today I'm gonna be taking you
through my top bridal makeup tips.
Ready, set, go.
(soft bright music)
So I am a makeup artist and I got married back in February
and for the big day, I decided to do my own makeup.
And that's something that I'd been very clear on
for many years, even before I was ever engaged.
I knew I wanted to do my own makeup.
And the reason for that is I know my face best
and I know what makeup I like to wear
and what I feel most comfortable in.
So when it comes to makeup for your big day,
I think it's important to pick a style
that makes you feel like the best version of yourself,
that you feel comfortable in and that feels most you.
There's no rules when it comes to your bridal makeup.
At the end of the day, just go with a look
that you wanna wear and that you love.
So some things to take into consideration
when you are thinking of your bridal makeup look
are the location that you're gonna get married in
and the time of year and also what your skin is like.
If you're getting married in the summer like I did,
then it's important to think about products
that are gonna help to control any oiliness
and also any kind of sweat. (chuckles)
So for me, I did pick a glowy foundation.
I wore Armani Luminous Silk primer, foundation
and concealer but I wore a setting powder over the top,
just to lock everything in place.
And then I also went over it with a setting spray,
just to give myself that extra hold.
Another tip I have is layering your textures.
If you want your cheeks to stand out,
I love using a cream blush like the MAC Glow Play
or the Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Blush
and I love layering that on first and then going over it
with a powder formula in the same colour
and that will help to give your blush more longevity
and it'll also make the colour pop a little bit more.
So I did a lot of that with my own makeup.
I started out with a cream base
went over it with a setting powder.
And then for my bronzer, I did a cream bronzer,
went over it with a powder bronzer
and then the same for my blush.
Another tip that I love is wearing eyelash extensions
or wearing individual lashes.
If you love the look of longer, fuller lashes
and you wanna emphasise your lash line,
then using some kind of lash enhancement is a great idea.
I've had lash extensions for many years now
so it was important for me to have the best ones
and the most glam ones for the day.
I went heavier than I would normally do for day-to-day wear.
Your other option, of course, is just to wear
a really beautiful mascara that you love
or to wear strip lashes or individual lashes.
Individual lash layers are great,
because they look a lot more natural
and they blend a lot more seamlessly into your lash line
and you can also control how thick,
how thin and where the drama is
if you want that in your lash look.
Another tip I love is to go for shimmery textures
that don't have big big flecks of glitter.
If you wanna have just a glow then looking
for a product that has a nice sheen to it
rather than those individual glittery specks
is gotta look a lot more beautiful in photos and in videos.
Another tip is to wear waterproof eye makeup
and water waterproof makeup where you can.
There may be some tears on the big day,
all good ones, I'm hoping.
So it's important to wear a mascara that isn't going to run
because you don't wanna look like a mess
in your wedding photos if you are crying.
Another tip is to apply extra powder on those areas
that you know that you were gonna get a little bit more oily
and where there may be more movement.
But when it came to making sure
that my hairline was perfect,
I actually used a little bit of eyeshadow.
There are tined hairsprays as well that you can use
and I just added a little bit of colour,
just into the areas here along my hairline
where my hair is a little bit more sparse.
A hot tip when it comes to your lips,
go to the whole haul, use all the products.
I used a lip primer, I used a lip liner,
I used a lipstick and I used a gloss.
Another tip is to not forget the body.
If you have an exposed chest, arms or legs,
then don't forget to pop a little bit of body makeup
if you want to or a shimmer on those areas.
Primers, primers make all the difference
on your wedding day.
So using a primer for your face,
your eyes so that your eyeshadows stay in place,
they don't crease and they go on nice and evenly
and then also using a primer for your lips is important.
I hope you loved those bridal makeup tips.
