bridal beauty tips

1.) Makeup should be modern, natural, and radiant!  You should look like you, only perfectly enhanced.
2.) Always have a trial application before the big day.
3.) Be clear about what you are looking for.  Bring a photo of a look that you like to your consultation.
4.) Your wedding is NOT a good time to experiment with new colors or trends.
5.) Ask your makeup artist about long-lasting techniques.
6.) Defining your brows will make all the difference.  Have them shaped a few days prior and fill them in, if needed, but don’t make them overpowering.
7.) Pale lips could wash you out.  Look for a color that will emulate and enhance your natural lip color.
8.) Use slightly more blush than you normally would.
9.) Don’t use too much shimmer.  A touch on the brow bone or cheek bone will do.
10.) If you get a blemish, DON’T PICK IT! It’s much easier to cover a small red bump than a big flaky scab.
