How to Do Wedding Makeup

A woman’s wedding day is something most dream of, and even plan, from the time they were little girls swinging on the playground. When the time actually arrives, a vast number of things have to be prepared and executed. One of these is choosing the perfect wedding makeup look. Doing this requires several steps, such as prepping your skin so it will look radiant, deciding who will do your makeup, and allotting time for a trial-run application (or two). It also involves learning how to properly apply makeup that's best suited to your complexion. Start now by learning the ins and outs of achieving your end goal – a glowing face to match you, the blushing bride.

Prep your skin. Whether you’re doing your makeup yourself or not, the day of your wedding, wash your face and use a light moisturizer. Whatever your routine has been, now is not the time to change it. If you exfoliate, however, stay away from a harsh scrub and opt instead for a gentle exfoliating cleanser. If you have a blemish, dab some Visine on it but otherwise leave it alone. Your focus should be on having the clean and soft palette your makeup needs to achieve natural-looking, beautiful skin.

Let your skin tone and undertone guide your makeup color choices. While there are specific skin types (identified from 1-6) for dermatological purposes[1], makeup companies use their own terminology to describe their makeup colors along the continuum of skin tone. And they aren’t particularly consistent at that. For example, one company might call its lightest foundation “ivory” while another calls the same color “fair.” Thus, in thinking about colors that match your skin tone, it’s best to first think broadly in terms of the range from "fair" to "medium" to "deep."[2]
Your skin’s undertones – cool or warm – are also a factor when choosing both matching and complementary colors.
You can determine your undertone with a quick trick. Hold a piece of silver and a piece of gold jewelry to the back of your hand. If the gold seems to melt away, you have a warm undertone. If the silver does, you have a cool undertone.[3]

Know that primer is required. Between the time you begin applying your makeup and the time you say goodbye to your guests, a lot will have happened. Using a primer before you apply your makeup will help ensure it holds up through the dancing, crying and toasting. You’ll likely still need occasional touch-ups, but they’ll be much less frequent. Additionally, a primer will help smooth fine lines and wrinkles and disguise open pores.
Use a small amount after you’ve moisturized, but before you put on foundation. Spread it evenly on your face and eyelids to create a smooth base for everything to come.[4][5][6]
to Do Wedding Makeup 4
Apply foundation next. Often people think concealer goes on before foundation, but the experts beg to differ.[7][8] After you’ve put on the primer, allow it time to dry or set. One of the biggest mistakes you can make when applying makeup is not giving each step time to dry. If needed, turn your hair dryer on its coolest setting and wave it back and forth across your face before moving from one step to the next.[9]
If you have a cool undertone, look for foundation that has a rosier, redder or blue base.
If you have a warm undertone, use a foundation with a yellow or golden base.
To determine if the shade is right, dip a Q-tip in the foundation and apply it to the center of your lower jawline. If it vanishes, it’s the right one![10]
Apply foundation in thin layers, starting from the middle of your face and blending outward using a foundation brush. You don’t want any visible lines, so pay close attention to blending beneath your jaw and on your neck.
Don’t cake on foundation. It will look overdone and likely smear or streak.[11]
to Do Wedding Makeup 5
Add concealer where needed. Whereas foundation is designed to even skin tone, concealers are designed to hide things, like blemishes and dark circles under your eyes. If you were to apply it before your foundation, you’d rub much of it away while working the foundation into your skin. To cover red areas or dark circles, use a concealer brush to dot a liquid concealer the same shade or one shade lighter than your skin tone along trouble areas. Then pat the brush against your skin to spread the concealer. If it’s not blended enough, dip the tip of a makeup sponge in water and work the concealer outward.[12][13]
To hide a blemish, put foundation on it first, then apply concealer before setting it with powder. If you can still see it, add more concealer and powder. Make sure you pat the concealer on the blemish. Don’t rub.[14]
to Do Wedding Makeup 6
Apply highlighter, but go easy on it. Highlighter isn’t always in everyone’s makeup bag, but its purpose is to make certain facial features like eyes appear larger and to add both glow and a youthful dewy look. Using too much, or a formulation with sparkle or glitter, is a recipe for photo disaster, so tread lightly. They come in both liquid and powder forms.
If you use a liquid, dab it on with a brush after your foundation in the shape of a check mark. Start near your inner eye, go down at a slight angle toward your nostril and then up your cheekbone, blending toward your temple. Do the same above your brows, down the center of your nose, the center of your forehead and your chin.
If you’re using a powder highlighter, use it after you powder and brush it under your brows, lightly in the corner of your eyes and on the tops of your cheekbones. Don’t use powder highlighter under your eyes or over your mouth or you’ll look sweaty in photos.[15]
to Do Wedding Makeup 7
Set your base and then contour. Really, you have two choices next. You can use a cream blush rather than a powder blush or set your base with powder. If you opt to use a powder blush, first use a translucent powder to set your base and control shine. Powder is one of those times when less is absolutely more. You’re going for luminous, not laden down. Use a medium-sized brush to dust lightly over your forehead, the sides of your nose and on your chin.
Then use a powder bronzer that’s just a shade or two darker than your foundation and brush it in the shape of a 3 on both sides of your face.
To do so, start at your hairline, move down the side of your face and then under your cheekbone, back to the side of your face and then below your jaw.[16][17][18]
Have pressed powder on hand. There are always areas that shine and need a quick dab before a photo or while in the restroom.[19]
to Do Wedding Makeup 8
Blush gently. Whether you’re using a cream blush prior to your powder or a powder blush after, go lightly with the blush. You can always add more. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards and out toward your hairline. You don’t want a pink nose, so don’t brush it there. To finish, do a small check mark at your cheek bones.[20][21][22]
If you have fair skin with cool undertones, colors like soft rose or baby pink with hints of mocha or beige will look nice.
If you have fair skin with warm undertones, go for golden apricot or a light peach with a bit of pink.
If you have medium skin with cool undertones, try cranberry, light raspberry or rosy pink.
If you have medium skin with warm undertones, look for soft coral with hints of brown or sunkissed apricot.
If you have deep skin with cool undertones, blush on shades of plum, grape and raspberry.
If you have deep skin with warm undertones, keep it rich with brown suede or a deep coral with a little bronze.[23]
to Do Wedding Makeup 9
Bring color to your eyes with shadow and liner. Wedding experts generally don't recommend a darkly dramatic eye, opting instead to use eye liners in colors other than black, paler or muted eye shadows complementary to your eye color, and highlighters to make eyes look large. Try brown, grey, and green eyeliners and apply it on both your top and bottom eyelids to draw attention to your eyes. Using a cream eye shadow will last longer and is best used on the lids of your eye while a powder is best in the crease of your eye. Use a powder highlighter in the corners of your eyes and under your brow.
As for colors, try bronze shades if you have green eyes, mocha if your eyes are hazel, navy and dark brown for blue eyes, and purples and grays for brown eyes.
Dampen an eyeliner brush in water and brush it into your eye shadow if you want to line your eyes with your eye shadow.[24][25][26]
to Do Wedding Makeup 10
Add mascara and tidy up your brows.There likely will be tears more than once, so you must have waterproof mascara. Also, if you don’t already regularly wear false eyelashes, your wedding day is not the day to start.[27] Instead, make sure you have a good eyelash curler, a volumizing mascara and a lengthening mascara. Curl your lashes before applying both. With your mascara, start at the root of your eyelashes and wiggle up from side to side to the top. Go with black – it looks good on everyone.
Finish by framing your face with a brow powder a little darker than your natural color. Brush it into the natural line of your eyebrows, working outward to the end of your eyes.[28][29][30]
to Do Wedding Makeup 11
Create lips that look good and last. Just as you need your facial skin to be well moisturized prior to applying makeup, your lips also need to be moisturized so they aren’t so dry or cracked that once color is applied all you see are lines. To avoid this, use a lip hydrator and let it absorb a couple of minutes before applying color. Choose a color that complements your blush while also following these tips.[31] Also, while many newer lipsticks claim to last hours, going with a lip stain is a better bet on your wedding day.[32][33]
If you have fair skin with cool undertones, go with nude, light mocha and light mauve; if you have warm undertones, try sand, nude peach or shell. Avoid bright pinks, dark bronzes and dark mochas.
If you have medium skin with cool undertones, choose a rosy pink, pomegranate or cranberry; if you have warm undertones, go for bronze, copper and cinnamon. Avoid nudes.
If you have deep skin with cool undertones, check out raisin, wine or ruby red; if you have warm undertones, try honey, ginger or a coppery bronze. Avoid anything close to orange.[34]
If using lip liner, apply your lip stain or lipstick, if that’s what you choose, almost to the edge of the lip. Next use a lip liner to define the shape of your lips and to seal it all in. Add just a little more color and blend the two together.[35]
If you go for a bolder, or statement, lip color, keep your eyes soft and natural to avoid the bridal doll look.[36]
Avoid smacking your lips together because this can make your smile look lop-sided.
Skip the lip gloss. First, it doesn’t last long. Secondly, it will end up on your groom’s lips. And, finally, it can create a glare in photos.

Picking Your Wedding Look
Image titled Do Wedding Makeup Step
Remember it’s your wedding, not girls’ night out. One of the biggest mistakes brides make is caking on makeup – too many layers of overly dark foundation, far too smoky eyes, lipstick that is blindingly bright in photos and so forth. You don’t want to wince when you look back on your wedding photos like you do when looking at those from prom. Think timeless. Leave experimentation for another time and place – you want to look like the best version of you, not like someone else.
Makeup artists highly recommend staying away from all makeup with any glitter or sparkle because it bounces off flash photography, leaving white spots on your skin. They can be removed from photos, but it’s expensive.

You Need These 17 Tips If You're Doing Your Own Wedding-Day Makeup

Forged in the North
Planning a wedding takes a lot of work (not to mention, money). It's basically a universal truth. From booking the venue, catering food, to sending out all those RSVPs, the time leading up to the big day can be a bit of a blur. But, to save some extra cash (and cut out excess stress), you've decided to your own wedding day makeup. It could be a little nerve-wracking to create your own wedding day beauty look, because this isn't just any day, it's YOUR big day! In addition to making sure your makeup holds up, you want it to look damn good in photos. Have no fear: We've rounded up all the tips you'll need to apply your makeup like a pro, from the pros.

1. Practice, practice, practice

No matter how makeup-savvy you may be, you don't want to wait to apply your wedding-day look for the first time on your wedding day. "Practice, practice, practice until you have the look that you want," says Liz Fuller, owner of Boston-area Makeup Artistry Inc.. "Then document what you used so that on the wedding day you can refer to your notes to remind you what products you used and how you used them."
2. Splurge on facials
Perfect skin is the best possible canvas for your makeup. And great skin for your wedding day is all in the preparation, says makeup artist Hillary Kline. "If the budget allows, start getting monthly facials — aim for at least three or four — before the big day," she says. "Those will help firm and illuminate your complexion."

3. Set up a serene space

Not only do you need time to apply your makeup, but you'll need a calm environment in which to do it, says makeup artist Béke Beau. "Getting ready rooms can be quite hectic sometimes and well-meaning bridal party members may distract you, so it's important to have some privacy to relax and put on your makeup," she says.
4. Use a primer
After you've moisturized your skin, you'll want to apply a thin layer of primer, says Jo Levy, makeup expert and artist for Jo Levy Makeup. "A primer will serve as a temporary corrector, filling in enlarged pores as well as smoothing fine lines and some deeper set lines," she says. "The different textures of primer will also help to prepare skin. For example, a mattifying primer will help to immediately diminish excess shine while an illuminating primer will give the skin an instant, radiant base for makeup."
5. Use an eye primer, too
You need a separate primer for your eyelids than what you've used on the rest of your face. "For eyes, I recommend using an eye primer or cream eye shadow that is neutral in tone," says Levy. "A bone or nude shade works well to help even out discoloration on lids and allows for a smoother eye shadow application if you plan to layer additional powder of cream shadows right over it."

6. Pick the perfect foundation

Get matched with expert help with a foundation that is right for your skin type and creates a natural look, says Kline. "Powder foundation helps in setting your makeup and also helps prevent your face from looking greasy in photos," she says. "But, if you add too much powder, you run the risk of making your skin look dry and old. The phrase 'less is more' applies to this."
7. Avoid makeup with SPF
While sunscreen is very good for your skin, it can be very bad for your wedding photos. "The zinc and titanium oxides that are found in SPF formulas can cause a white cast on the face in flash photography," warns Fuller. If you must slather on sunscreen for your outdoor wedding, make sure it's in your moisturizer and not your foundation.

8. Don't use white finishing powder
Sunscreen isn't the only thing that will give you a ghostly glow. White finishing powders, too, can cast your face in unflattering ways, says Rachael Rubin, owner and founder of Beauty PaRLR. "When a flash hits the powder on your face, it will give the appearance of clown white skin," she warns.
9. Invest in a creamy formula-based concealer
Says Kline, "Let's face it: The bride is going to be busy running around finishing last-minute tasks, staying up late, attending a rehearsal dinner, and more. What about those unwanted dark circles or a sudden blemish? Make sure you put foundation on first and then lightly dab with your fingertip on areas that look dark."
10. Define your brows
You don't have to be born with bushy brows to make a statement on your wedding day. Says Beau, "Brows are the defining feature on your face, so if you aren't gifted with full, perfectly shaped brows, get out a long-lasting brow product and define what you have, always working with your natural shape."
11. Avoid sparkly products
Much like SPF and white powders, things that sparkle don't shine — pun intended — in photos. "That means any eye shadows, face powders, highlighters with sparkles — they look absolutely terrible in flash photography," says Kline. "Stick with neutral, subtle tones, and more matte eye shadows."
12. Embrace waterproof mascara
Not only do you want your mascara to stay in place through any stray tears, but waterproof formulas should withstand the heat, too. "For summer brides, heat can cause heavier mascara to droop and melt — and that's no good," says Rubin.
13. Layer your lip colors
Layering on your lips will ensure a long-lasting finish, Levy says. "Begin by conditioning lips with a lip balm to help prep and soften and follow by applying a light layer of lipstick in a satin or cream formula," she says, then swipe your lipstick on a second time to build its color. "Optionally, if you prefer to add the appearance of volume and definition, draw lip liner along or just outside the natural lip line and then feather in the color onto the lipstick. Press lips together to set. Also totally optional: Finish with a light layer of gloss for a multi-dimensional look."
14. Wear more makeup than you would on any ol' day
Says Rubin, "doing makeup to be photographed is a different ball game than a casual look. While you may be hesitant, in the case for photography, more is more." Rubin says adding color to your lips will keep you from looking washed out, while Fuller advocates for more blush then you might be used to.
15. Splurge on a spraying a setting spray
Long-wear makeup be damned. The key to really making your makeup last, says Fuller, is using a setting spray. "Some formulas last 16 to 18 hours," she says. "They prevent makeup from wearing away, and they're sweat-proof and waterproof — although you still can't jump in a pool!"
16. Bring blotting sheets
While you may be tempted to pack a pressed powder in your purse, you should never reapply powder, Fuller says. Instead, she suggests using blotting sheets.
"Always use a blotting sheet to absorb oil," she says. "Blotting sheets won't disturb the makeup — they just lift away the oil for a shine-free finish."
17. Don't follow trends
Says Fuller, "If you don't wear a lot of makeup in your everyday life, then you shouldn't have a cat eye for your wedding day." Instead, she recommends sticking to colors that will brighten your eye area without going overboard. And, "if you have a stronger eye, then you should go for a more neutral lip color," she says. "If your eyes are less made up, you can do a bolder lip color."

Handy Makeup Tips And Essentials For Wedding

1. Cleansing The Face

Indian brides love to use bold and bright colors for their marriage ceremonies. In order to obtain a long-lasting look, you should start by cleansing your face well and then patting it dry to ensure that there are no traces of dirt or oil on the face.

2. Base Preparation Tips
Moisturize your face for a smooth appearance and an even skin tone. Amidst working extensively on the face alone, do not forget to moisturize using your fingertips by rubbing well in a circular and gentle motion. You could even use a tinted moisturizer.

3. Face Fix Up Tips
a. Use a primer two minutes post moisturizing, and blend it well. This helps to keep your concealer and foundation in place, and keeps the makeup intact for long hours. Sephora and MAC are amongst the top brands for primers.

b. It is equally important to use a concealer to cover spots or blemishes. You can brighten up your skin tone by using a colored concealer like yellow or green to cover the reddish blemishes on the skin.

c. Apply a foundation without SPF and blend it well with a makeup brush or a sponge. Starting from the center of the face, apply the foundation on the other areas and blend it outwards. A foundation with a matte finish would be a good option as well. A foundation with SPF will give your face an undesirable ‘flash’ effect in photographs, so it’s better to avoid it. You won’t be spending much time in the sun on your wedding day anyway!

d. For a glowing look, use a highlighter on the higher planes of the face, such as the check bones, the bridge of the nose, the center of the forehead, and the Cupid’s bow. You can opt for highlighters from Colorbar, Sephora, or MAC.

4. Bronzer Tips

The bronzer is commonly used to heavily contour the face and make it look chiseled and sharp in the photographs.
Take a blush brush, preferably angular, and apply with strokes on to the sides of the chin, but not on the center. Do the same on the sides of the forehead, and on the two sides along the nose bone, but not on the top. Suck your cheeks in and use some bronzer on the top part of the contours, near to the ear, in light strokes. But make sure it is not along the entire length of the contour.

5. Blush Tips

Take some blush on a blush brush and pat the excess off. Hold a steady smile and apply it in a circular motion, blending it upwards, towards the ears.

6. Eyeshadow Tips
Indian brides love gold eye makeup since it goes well with their red, fuchsia, or green lehengas, ghagras, or heavy saris. So, if you want to play it safe, this is the color to go with.

Paint your eyelids with a gold or peachy pink shade, and use some charcoal shadow on the exterior lid contours to give a subtle, smokey effect. You can achieve this by using a brown shade on the inner crease area. You can also use golden eyeshadow instead of silver for the brow bones.

Use an eyebrow pencil or an angular brush dipped in brow powder for the eyebrows.

7. Eyeliner Tips
Do not experiment with brown or blue liners on your wedding day. It’s better to use a plain and simple jet-black liner, preferably waterproof. Draw a thick line on the top and a heavy line with a strong kajal on the lower eyelid, smudging it till the outer corner for that extra oomph.

Don’t forget to use a volume-enhancing mascara. Mascaras with curled brushes work great for awesome, curly lashes.

Grab some false lashes to accentuate and open up your eyes, making them look brighter. Remember to have some trials before the wedding date just to ensure there is no room for trial and error on the wedding day.

8. Lipstick Tips
If you have thin lips, then line your lips along the natural line with a color that almost matches your normal skin tone. If you have plump lips, then line the natural lip line with a darker shade. Wear a lipstick that complements the whole look.

Go for maroon or dark red for bigger and fuller lips, and peachy pink or light pink for thin lips.
Thin-lipped people can apply a lip plumper instead of a lipgloss, whereas large-lipped people can use a simple lip-gloss, concentrating more on the center of the lip.
The bride-to-be should also follow some makeup rules and be prepared to wow the multitude. Here are the tips:

9. Moderation Is The Key
The main idea of a perfect bridal makeup look is to accentuate the best features, and at the same time, keep the overall look simple, yet gorgeous. As it is, Indian brides are loaded with jewelry and heavy dresses, hence it is best to keep the makeup natural.

10. Explain Your Needs To The Makeup Artist

If you are hiring a makeup artist, make sure you explain what you need clearly. Explaining things in advance will help you get the look you want. If the makeup artist is new, then it is always recommended to get a trial session before your wedding day.

11. Get Glowing Skin
Amongst all Indian bridal makeup tips, getting your skin to look healthy and glowing on the wedding day is very important. Simply taking care of it a week before the D-day will not suffice. Your skin needs time to take in nourishment and treatments. Overdoing the treatments may lead to further damage. Make time for yourself and indulge in the treatments two months or at least six weeks before the wedding day. Take regular pedicures and manicures. Also, go in for facials and skin treatments at least six weeks prior to the ceremony to give your skin time to work. Here is a detailed post on how to get glowing skin.

12. Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin. But remember to exfoliate only twice or thrice a week. Over exfoliation may make your skin dry.

13. Protect Your Skin From Sun
Do not go out without a sunscreen and reapply every two to three hours to keep the skin damage free. This is a definite must in the list of bridal makeup tips.

14. Ward Off Stress Hormones
You need to relax and shun off all the stress. I know it’s difficult to practice but stress can take a toll on your skin, making it look worse.

Bridal Makeup Tips For Eyes
For the best Indian bridal eye makeup keep in mind the following tips:

15. Take Care Of Puffy Eyes
Have puffy eyes? Use chamomile tea bags over the eyes to make them appear less puffy. Using normal tea bags may stain your skin.

16. Get Enough Sleep

A good sleep is very essential. The more you sleep, the more time your body gets to repair itself. Sleep for at least seven hours every day to keep those under eye circles away.

17. Wear Contact Lenses Before Makeup
If you wear contacts, make sure to wear them before makeup application because there are favorable chances of your eyes watering. This can possibly ruin the effort you took to apply the right makeup.

Bridal Makeup Tips For Hair
18. Deep Condition Your Hair
Your hair is also an important part of the whole wedding look. To ensure your hair looks best throughout the wedding, go for a deep conditioning hair mask twice/ thrice in the month before the wedding. If you have dry hair, apply some homemade hair packs to make it glossy and healthy.

19. Use Good Hair Spray

Use good quality hair sprays so that your hair stays in place and doesn’t look frizzy.

Bridal Makeup Tips For Acne
20. Hide Your Blemishes
Do invest in a good concealer for the D-day. It will hide blemishes and spots, cover those under eye circles, and even out the discoloration.

21. Avoid Fried Food
Avoid fried foods and too many spices for a month before the wedding to avoid getting pimples at the last moment.

22. Blot Oily Areas
Keep some oil blotting paper handy on the day. Blot any oily areas to get rid of the shine. You don’t want to have a shiny forehead in the wedding pictures.

23. Take Care Of Acne
If you have oily skin that is prone to acne and pimples, look for a face cleanser with salicylic acid. It removes oil and keeps the skin oil-free for a longer time.

24. Take Care Of Last Minute Pimples

Spotted a pimple suddenly? Tensed how to hide it? Take some tea tree oil and apply it over the pimple as soon as possible. It will dry it up faster and make it less prominent on the wedding day.

25. Minimize Chances Of Pimples During Periods
Do you tend to get pimples and zits during periods? Apply anti-acne creams 10 days before your period is scheduled to start. This will minimize the chances of getting one.

Wedding Makeup Tips For Lips
26. Make Lips Appear Fuller
Are your lips thin? Here’s a way to make them appear fuller. Take a skin-colored lip liner and extend the natural lip line. But remember, less is more. So do not overdo it.

To make your lips look fuller, pat a little bit of shimmer at the center of the lower lip. This creates the illusion of a fuller lip.

27. Take Care Of Dry Lips
Use a lip balm each time you feel your lips are dry. Do not lick or bite your lips. This will dry the lips and cause them to become chapped and flaky.

For Bridal Makeup Looks
28. Apply Your Makeup The Usual Way
Apply the makeup using the right brushes or applicators. If you are comfortable with brushes, then use brushes; if you are comfortable with sponges, use them. Also, if you are comfortable with fingers, use them to apply makeup. It is not a time to experiment, so stick to the usual technique.

29. Match The Makeup With Your Attire

Take a look at your clothes and jewelry. Consult with your makeup artist beforehand about the looks which will go with the dress. Select the one which you want to do on the day. Do not go in for any last minute changes.

30. Choose The Right Foundation
Choosing the right foundation is very important as you don’t want to look pale or darker than usual. Go shopping with a friend or a relative and try different shades on yourself. The goal will be to choose a shade which matches your skin tone. Choosing a tone lighter than your skin tone can make it look grey after some time, especially in the photographs.

31. Use A Highlighter
Use a highlighter instead of shimmer or glitter. The main attempt should be to make the skin appear glowing and not shimmery. Highlight the bridge of the nose, the chin, the forehead and the higher planes of the face.

32. Practice Few Times Before The Wedding

Considering doing your own makeup? Practice doing it beforehand. This way, you will avoid creating a mess on the D-day. It is better to practice two to three times with the looks and try out variations, rather than doing them for the first time on the wedding day itself, which can be stressful.

33. How To Apply A Blush?
Using a blush? Keep at least two fingers distance from the nose and apply the blush.

34. Take Care Of Excess Makeup
Got too much eye makeup/ eyeliner? Take a blotting paper and remove any excess oil, excess makeup, or liner.

35. Mascara Application
Use a good waterproof mascara and make sure it is new or less than three months old. Old mascaras, which have been exposed to air, clot and become very flaky.

36. Buying Makeup

Going to buy makeup for the wedding day? Take a friend with you and make a list of what products you want to try and which items you need. Aimlessly buying products will result in nothing. So plan beforehand and keep the attire and wedding in mind.

37. Check The Weather
Have a wedding in summer/ spring? Choose sheer and light makeup as these will be most appropriate when the weather is hot and humid.

38. Daytime Wedding Or Night-Time Wedding
This is a very important factor to keep in mind when it comes to Indian wedding bridal makeup. If you have the ceremonies during the day, then keep the makeup minimal and opt for a more natural look. If you are going for a night-time wedding, keep the makeup heavy and add more colors. If you have a morning wedding, choose pastel shades for the eye makeup.

39. Choose The Right Lip Liner
Choosing a good lip liner is important. You will be best off with a lip liner matching with the lipstick.

40. Is The Makeup Complete?
Take a look at the makeup after it is complete and assess whether it is suitable. Ask for honest opinions from friends and relatives.

41. Choose The Right Lipstick
60-Best-Indian-Bridal-Makeup-Tips7 Save
Image: Shutterstock

Choose a long wearing lipstick for the D-day. You don’t want to be applying it every hour.

42. Applying Foundation
Apply foundation on other exposed parts of the body like the hands, neck, back, and ears. This way, your makeup will look a lot more natural.

43. Use Clean Brushes
Whether you are doing the makeup yourself or a makeup artist is doing it, always use clean brushes and other applicators. You don’t want to get infected by bacteria.

44. Heavy Makeup
Keep the makeup heavier than your usual parties but do keep in mind not to look like a made-up doll.

45. Plucking The Eyebrows

Pluck your brows at least a day before the wedding. Rub an ice cube around the brows to prevent redness or rashes.

46. Choosing The Right Blush
Having trouble choosing the right blush shade? See your face in the mirror right after you exercise. This is the natural color of your cheeks. Look for the color resembling it.

47. Fake Eye Lashes
Want some fake lashes? Use them only if you are comfortable wearing them. Also, use dark-colored lash glue so that it matches the skin tone.

48. Filling Up The Brows
Do not use black to fill in the brows. Use brown shade or taupe shade to fill up the brows. The best way to get a natural looking brow is to use eyeshadows and pencils.

49. Take Care Of Your Hands
Use a moisturizer and mix a bit of a highlighter powder to make your hands and feet look naturally glowing.

50. Use Gel Liners
If you are not an ardent follower of liquid liners, use gel liners instead of liquid ones. You will get better precision and a smooth finish.

51. When To Apply Cream
60-Best-Indian-Bridal-Makeup-Tips Save

Use a moisturizer on your face and body just after a bath as it is the best time to apply lotions and creams.

52. Touch Up Your Makeup
Keep a compact and blotting paper handy as you can touch up your makeup.

53. Keep Eye Makeup In Place
To keep your eye makeup in place, sweep a bit of translucent powder over it and under the eyes. This prevents a meltdown and makes it crease-proof.

54. Don’t Let Your Lipstick Stain
To keep your lipstick/ lip color from staining your lips, put a finger in your mouth and close your lips. Pull out the finger; this will take out all excess lip color.

55. Make Lashes Appear Fuller
Need to make your lashes appear fuller? Apply some powder on the lashes with your eyes closed and then apply mascara, or else add an eyelash primer just before applying the mascara.

56. Applying Eyeliner
Apply the eyeliner while looking down into the mirror. It will give you a better grip and you will be able to draw straight lines.

57. Use Cream Blushes
Use a cream based blush if you want glowy, natural cheeks. Apply it with your fingers in a dabbing motion, and blend it.

58. Focus On One Feature

Focus on one feature at a time. If you are going bold on the lips, then keep the eye makeup subtle/nude (and vice-versa!).

59. Limit The Shimmer
Shimmer looks great but keep it limited to only one part of the face. You can use shimmer on the eyes or the cheeks.

60. Make Lipstick Stay Longer
Apply a lip liner and then a lipstick, or apply layers of lipstick to make it stay longer.

Keep it simple and keep it gorgeous! Hope this article on bridal makeup looks helps you all the way on your big day!

20 Makeup Tips Every Bride Should Know

A woman’s wedding day is something most dream of, and even plan, from the time they were little girls swinging on the playground. When the time actually arrives, a vast number of things have to be prepared and executed. One of these is choosing the perfect wedding makeup look. Doing this requires several steps, such as prepping your skin so it will look radiant, deciding who will do your makeup, and allotting time for a trial-run application (or two). It also involves learning how to properly apply makeup that's best suited to your complexion. Start now by learning the ins and outs of achieving your end goal – a glowing face to match you, the blushing bride.

Applying Your Makeup

Image titled Do Wedding Makeup Step 11
Prep your skin. Whether you’re doing your makeup yourself or not, the day of your wedding, wash your face and use a light moisturizer. Whatever your routine has been, now is not the time to change it. If you exfoliate, however, stay away from a harsh scrub and opt instead for a gentle exfoliating cleanser. If you have a blemish, dab some Visine on it but otherwise leave it alone. Your focus should be on having the clean and soft palette your makeup needs to achieve natural-looking, beautiful skin.

Image titled Do Wedding Makeup Step 22
Let your skin tone and undertone guide your makeup color choices. While there are specific skin types (identified from 1-6) for dermatological purposes[1], makeup companies use their own terminology to describe their makeup colors along the continuum of skin tone. And they aren’t particularly consistent at that. For example, one company might call its lightest foundation “ivory” while another calls the same color “fair.” Thus, in thinking about colors that match your skin tone, it’s best to first think broadly in terms of the range from "fair" to "medium" to "deep."[2]

Your skin’s undertones – cool or warm – are also a factor when choosing both matching and complementary colors.
You can determine your undertone with a quick trick. Hold a piece of silver and a piece of gold jewelry to the back of your hand. If the gold seems to melt away, you have a warm undertone. If the silver does, you have a cool undertone.[3]

Know that primer is required. Between the time you begin applying your makeup and the time you say goodbye to your guests, a lot will have happened. Using a primer before you apply your makeup will help ensure it holds up through the dancing, crying and toasting. You’ll likely still need occasional touch-ups, but they’ll be much less frequent. Additionally, a primer will help smooth fine lines and wrinkles and disguise open pores.
Use a small amount after you’ve moisturized, but before you put on foundation. Spread it evenly on your face and eyelids to create a smooth base for everything to come.[4][5][6]
to Do Wedding Makeup 4

Apply foundation next. Often people think concealer goes on before foundation, but the experts beg to differ.[7][8] After you’ve put on the primer, allow it time to dry or set. One of the biggest mistakes you can make when applying makeup is not giving each step time to dry. If needed, turn your hair dryer on its coolest setting and wave it back and forth across your face before moving from one step to the next.[9]

If you have a cool undertone, look for foundation that has a rosier, redder or blue base.
If you have a warm undertone, use a foundation with a yellow or golden base.
To determine if the shade is right, dip a Q-tip in the foundation and apply it to the center of your lower jawline. If it vanishes, it’s the right one![10]
Apply foundation in thin layers, starting from the middle of your face and blending outward using a foundation brush. You don’t want any visible lines, so pay close attention to blending beneath your jaw and on your neck.

Don’t cake on foundation. It will look overdone and likely smear or streak.[11]
to Do Wedding Makeup 5

Add concealer where needed. Whereas foundation is designed to even skin tone, concealers are designed to hide things, like blemishes and dark circles under your eyes. If you were to apply it before your foundation, you’d rub much of it away while working the foundation into your skin. To cover red areas or dark circles, use a concealer brush to dot a liquid concealer the same shade or one shade lighter than your skin tone along trouble areas. Then pat the brush against your skin to spread the concealer. If it’s not blended enough, dip the tip of a makeup sponge in water and work the concealer outward.[12][13]

To hide a blemish, put foundation on it first, then apply concealer before setting it with powder. If you can still see it, add more concealer and powder. Make sure you pat the concealer on the blemish. Don’t rub.[14]

to Do Wedding Makeup 6
Apply highlighter, but go easy on it. Highlighter isn’t always in everyone’s makeup bag, but its purpose is to make certain facial features like eyes appear larger and to add both glow and a youthful dewy look. Using too much, or a formulation with sparkle or glitter, is a recipe for photo disaster, so tread lightly. They come in both liquid and powder forms.
If you use a liquid, dab it on with a brush after your foundation in the shape of a check mark. Start near your inner eye, go down at a slight angle toward your nostril and then up your cheekbone, blending toward your temple. Do the same above your brows, down the center of your nose, the center of your forehead and your chin.
If you’re using a powder highlighter, use it after you powder and brush it under your brows, lightly in the corner of your eyes and on the tops of your cheekbones. Don’t use powder highlighter under your eyes or over your mouth or you’ll look sweaty in photos.[15]
to Do Wedding Makeup 7

Set your base and then contour. Really, you have two choices next. You can use a cream blush rather than a powder blush or set your base with powder. If you opt to use a powder blush, first use a translucent powder to set your base and control shine. Powder is one of those times when less is absolutely more. You’re going for luminous, not laden down. Use a medium-sized brush to dust lightly over your forehead, the sides of your nose and on your chin.
Then use a powder bronzer that’s just a shade or two darker than your foundation and brush it in the shape of a 3 on both sides of your face.
To do so, start at your hairline, move down the side of your face and then under your cheekbone, back to the side of your face and then below your jaw.[16][17][18]
Have pressed powder on hand. There are always areas that shine and need a quick dab before a photo or while in the restroom.[19]
to Do Wedding Makeup 8

Blush gently. Whether you’re using a cream blush prior to your powder or a powder blush after, go lightly with the blush. You can always add more. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards and out toward your hairline. You don’t want a pink nose, so don’t brush it there. To finish, do a small check mark at your cheek bones.[20][21][22]
If you have fair skin with cool undertones, colors like soft rose or baby pink with hints of mocha or beige will look nice.
If you have fair skin with warm undertones, go for golden apricot or a light peach with a bit of pink.
If you have medium skin with cool undertones, try cranberry, light raspberry or rosy pink.
If you have medium skin with warm undertones, look for soft coral with hints of brown or sunkissed apricot.
If you have deep skin with cool undertones, blush on shades of plum, grape and raspberry.
If you have deep skin with warm undertones, keep it rich with brown suede or a deep coral with a little bronze.[23]
to Do Wedding Makeup 9
Bring color to your eyes with shadow and liner. Wedding experts generally don't recommend a darkly dramatic eye, opting instead to use eye liners in colors other than black, paler or muted eye shadows complementary to your eye color, and highlighters to make eyes look large. Try brown, grey, and green eyeliners and apply it on both your top and bottom eyelids to draw attention to your eyes. Using a cream eye shadow will last longer and is best used on the lids of your eye while a powder is best in the crease of your eye. Use a powder highlighter in the corners of your eyes and under your brow.
As for colors, try bronze shades if you have green eyes, mocha if your eyes are hazel, navy and dark brown for blue eyes, and purples and grays for brown eyes.
Dampen an eyeliner brush in water and brush it into your eye shadow if you want to line your eyes with your eye shadow.[24][25][26]
to Do Wedding Makeup 10
Add mascara and tidy up your brows.There likely will be tears more than once, so you must have waterproof mascara. Also, if you don’t already regularly wear false eyelashes, your wedding day is not the day to start.[27] Instead, make sure you have a good eyelash curler, a volumizing mascara and a lengthening mascara. Curl your lashes before applying both. With your mascara, start at the root of your eyelashes and wiggle up from side to side to the top. Go with black – it looks good on everyone.
Finish by framing your face with a brow powder a little darker than your natural color. Brush it into the natural line of your eyebrows, working outward to the end of your eyes.[28][29][30]
to Do Wedding Makeup 11
Create lips that look good and last. Just as you need your facial skin to be well moisturized prior to applying makeup, your lips also need to be moisturized so they aren’t so dry or cracked that once color is applied all you see are lines. To avoid this, use a lip hydrator and let it absorb a couple of minutes before applying color. Choose a color that complements your blush while also following these tips.[31] Also, while many newer lipsticks claim to last hours, going with a lip stain is a better bet on your wedding day.[32][33]
If you have fair skin with cool undertones, go with nude, light mocha and light mauve; if you have warm undertones, try sand, nude peach or shell. Avoid bright pinks, dark bronzes and dark mochas.
If you have medium skin with cool undertones, choose a rosy pink, pomegranate or cranberry; if you have warm undertones, go for bronze, copper and cinnamon. Avoid nudes.
If you have deep skin with cool undertones, check out raisin, wine or ruby red; if you have warm undertones, try honey, ginger or a coppery bronze. Avoid anything close to orange.[34]
If using lip liner, apply your lip stain or lipstick, if that’s what you choose, almost to the edge of the lip. Next use a lip liner to define the shape of your lips and to seal it all in. Add just a little more color and blend the two together.[35]
If you go for a bolder, or statement, lip color, keep your eyes soft and natural to avoid the bridal doll look.[36]
Avoid smacking your lips together because this can make your smile look lop-sided.
Skip the lip gloss. First, it doesn’t last long. Secondly, it will end up on your groom’s lips. And, finally, it can create a glare in photos.

Picking Your Wedding Look

Image titled Do Wedding Makeup Step 121
Remember it’s your wedding, not girls’ night out. One of the biggest mistakes brides make is caking on makeup – too many layers of overly dark foundation, far too smoky eyes, lipstick that is blindingly bright in photos and so forth. You don’t want to wince when you look back on your wedding photos like you do when looking at those from prom. Think timeless. Leave experimentation for another time and place – you want to look like the best version of you, not like someone else.[37][38]

Makeup artists highly recommend staying away from all makeup with any glitter or sparkle because it bounces off flash photography, leaving white spots on your skin. They can be removed from photos, but it’s expensive.[39][40]
Image titled Do Wedding Makeup Step 132

Make sure your makeup matches your hair and dress. Because your gown most likely will be white, you’ll need some color to compensate for its lack of color. Yet just as you don’t want to wear too much makeup, you also don’t want to wear the wrong style of makeup. Your goal is a cohesive look in which each piece makes sense with every other. Even if you love a certain style of makeup, or are simply accustomed to wearing makeup one way, that doesn’t mean it’s going to look good with your hair and dress.

If your gown is romantic, billowy and soft, for instance, smoky eyes and bright red lipstick will clash, not be complementary.
