Spoil the most important day of your life: 10 mistakes in wedding makeup

A wedding is one of the most important events in a woman's life, so every bride wants to look perfect. Dress, hairstyle, accessories, and, of course, makeup all matter on the big day.

On the Brides website, professional makeup artists have shared tips on what to look for in wedding makeup to avoid spoiling your appearance at an important event. It doesn't matter where the bride is going to get her makeup done – at home or at a makeup artist – these 10 tips will definitely not be superfluous.

1. Prepare your skin

Good makeup isn't enough to look great. If the skin is in poor condition, it can ruin the whole look. So, you should take good care of your face a few months before the wedding. Choose creams, lotions, serums, emulsions, or toners for your skin type to keep it beautiful, healthy, and radiant.

2. A good makeup artist

It's not just about the makeup artist's skill, but also about the mental connection with them. Applying festive makeup takes a lot of time, so the bride will spend almost the entire morning with the makeup artist. In order not to spoil your mood for the whole day, you need to make sure that you feel comfortable with the person.

3. Neglecting trial makeup

This is actually a very important point, but for some reason, many women neglect it. The wedding day is not the best time to experiment, so you need to take care of your makeup in advance. Thanks to a trial makeup a few weeks before the event, you can understand what you like and what you don't, complete the makeup, and evaluate it.

4. Follow trends blindly

Fashion may dictate certain trendy shades of eyeshadow or lipstick. But perhaps these colors are not very suitable for the bride. It is very important to start from your preferences and desires, not fashion trends.

5. Overdoing it with makeup

If you don't like smokey eyes or bright lips, it's better not to add them to your wedding makeup. After all, there is a risk of feeling insecure and out of place.

6. Too many cosmetic products

Of course, wedding makeup should be brighter than everyday makeup. But if you apply too much foundation, black eyeshadow, and blush, your face will not become prettier. Holiday makeup should emphasize natural beauty, not hide it.

7. Doubt the recommendations of professional makeup artists

If a professional shares advice, it is better to listen to it. The client does not always know all the subtleties of proper application and color harmony, so the specialist may recommend something to add or change, based on their own experience of working with different women.

8. Lighting

Lighting is different on the street, at home, and in a restaurant. Therefore, it is important to check that the foundation does not differ from the skin color and that the layering of cosmetics looks natural.

9. Lipstick

No matter how long-lasting the lipstick is, it can smear on the lips after a feast and hot kisses. Therefore, it is very important to make sure you have lipstick with you to touch up your lips at any time.

10. The makeup artist is not around

If possible, it's better to invite a makeup artist to the wedding, because makeup can get ruined during the whole day and will need to be corrected. This guarantees a "fresh" look in all photos: from the morning photo shoot to the night party.
