6 Essential Beauty Tips for Brides

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life, so it’s only natural that you want to look your best. If you or your bridesmaids are planning on applying your own makeup, here are our 6 essential beauty tips for Brides to consider. 1. Consider the weather Seasons dictate what the weather will be like and if you’re getting married in summer when temperatures are high (hopefully), you’ll want to climate-proof your makeup. Sweating your makeup off will be nothing to worry about when you’re using the correct products. Firstly, you’ll need a primer. An oil-free face primer will create the perfect canvas for your makeup, ensuring that your base stays looking flawless for longer. Also, use an eyeshadow primer before you apply your eye makeup so it stays crease-free and doesn’t fade. It’s also a good idea to put blotting sheets in your handbag for emergency shine situations. 2. Think of the camera Avoid wearing foundation with a high SPF as this will result in flashback, giving you a whiteish appearance in photographs. To look picture perfect, consider applying a little more makeup than normal. You could experiment several weeks before by getting a friend to take pictures of you in different types of light. This will give you an idea of how you’ll look in your wedding photos. 3.

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life, so it’s only natural that you want to look your best. If you or your bridesmaids are planning on applying your own makeup, here are our 6 essential beauty tips for Brides to consider.

1. Consider the weather

Seasons dictate what the weather will be like and if you’re getting married in summer when temperatures are high (hopefully), you’ll want to climate-proof your makeup. Sweating your makeup off will be nothing to worry about when you’re using the correct products. Firstly, you’ll need a primer. An oil-free face primer will create the perfect canvas for your makeup, ensuring that your base stays looking flawless for longer. Also, use an eyeshadow primer before you apply your eye makeup so it stays crease-free and doesn’t fade. It’s also a good idea to put blotting sheets in your handbag for emergency shine situations.

2. Think of the camera

Avoid wearing foundation with a high SPF as this will result in flashback, giving you a whiteish appearance in photographs. To look picture perfect, consider applying a little more makeup than normal. You could experiment several weeks before by getting a friend to take pictures of you in different types of light. This will give you an idea of how you’ll look in your wedding photos.

3. Watch tutorials

If you’re unsure as to how you want your makeup to look on your big day, watch a few tutorials on YouTube and spend time practising your application skills. If you don’t know where to start, try Lauren Curtis, Tanya Burr or Lisa Eldridge for tips and tricks.

4. Visit a makeup counter

If you don’t know your foundation shade from your makeup brush, visit a beauty counter and ask to be matched to a shade of foundation. A professional will help you find the best hue for your natural skin tone.

5. Opt for waterproof mascara

Your wedding is an emotional time, so choose a waterproof mascara in case of happy tears.

6. A course of SkinBase MD facials.

Hayami Cosmetics

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
