Your wedding day is a celebration of love and commitment. It’s only natural that you’ll be the centre of attention so looking and feeling good is a priority. Many brides crave flawless, dewy skin that radiates luminosity. If you’re planning on applying your own makeup, consider these easy application tips to create a heavenly complexion with minimal effort.
Your base
A light to medium coverage foundation will give you ample coverage without making your skin feel heavy. A slightly dewy foundation like Nars Sheer Glow Foundation is easy to blend and evens out your skin tone while adding a burst of radiance. It also has no sunscreen so you won’t get a white cast flashback on your photographs. If you tend to get oily skin during the day, dust a loose setting powder over your t-zone to keep your makeup looking fresh. For a flush of colour, add a little cream blush over the apples of your cheeks.
Low key highlighting
Highlighting can be quick and easy when you know how. Using either a powder or liquid highlighter, apply to your cheekbones, nose and brow bone, chin and just above your top lip. You’re then good to go!
To finish the look
Remember to style your brows. Use either a brow powder, pencil or gel to fill yours in and give them a real boost. After you’ve added colour, use a clear gel to set them and keep them in place. For a hint of colour, apply a lip pen, such as a Clinique Chubby Stick which is a hybrid of gloss and balm. This one swipe wonder is perfect for effortless lips that you can rock with a pretty natural look. If you prefer a bolder colour, use a rose toned lipstick instead.
