Bridal Makeup

Bridal makeup can be very rewarding to apply.  It is such an important day in a woman’s life and with all eyes upon her it’s important for her makeup to make her feel radiantly beautiful.  The most challenging thing with bridal makeup can be the expectations.  I have had ladies show me images torn from magazines with a desire to look just like that, however the problem is that with today’s over-retouched images getting that “exact” look is impossible.  It can be a process of translating their vision into a more realistic appearance.  What also needs to be considered is the grooms taste.  In reminding a bride that her future husband will be staring into her eyes he might have a little to say in how much makeup she wears. 

 Generally, bridal makeup, as shown in the before and after images that follow, capture a blushing and glowing bride.  Soft shimmery pinks, crème or shimmery pink powder on the cheek with a brighter lip are most appealing.  Remember, you will be looking at these images in years to come so trendy looks can quickly become outdated.What helps determine the application and types of products used is location of wedding, (outside in the heat?) time of day, (is it natural light, candle, indoor light?) how long she will be wearing the makeup (9:00 am to 12:00 am?)  These details help me decide what type of base she should wear and if waterproof products should be applied. As always, with brides, a run-thru is a must so that she knows exactly what to expect
