We’re heading into spring and for many of us it’s the year you’ll be planning your wedding, a day that you’ve looked forward to your whole life.
In anticipation of your big day in 2019 here are some Makeup Must Haves every Bride should know.
1. Skip the Sunscreen. I know many of you are in the good habit of protecting your skin any time you even think about stepping out into the sun. But this is one day you need to break that habit.
Sunscreen does protect your skin, but the high levels of Titanium Dioxide are going to make your face flash white in the camera. So unless you are marrying Casper, skip the sunscreen on your big day.
2. Waterproof….Everything! You may not think you’re going to cry, or that your going to sweat, but believe me, the moment you step out onto the floor with your honey for that first dance, tears are going to come. So why take the risk? Use waterproof mascara, powder, liner, etc and save yourself from smears.
3. Powder, powder and more powder. Get a moisture resistant setting powder. First off it will absorb the moisture in your skin, keeping you from looking shiny in your pics. Second it will keep your makeup looking and feeling fresh all day.
4. Environment awareness. If you’re going to be by the Delta, or in the tropics or anywhere else where humidity is in the air, understand that your hair and makeup can be affected by it. Don’t expect your naturally curly hair to stay straight if you’re wearing it down and don’t expect your makeup not to get moist if you don’t use the right stuff. So plan ahead, be aware of your environment and make it work for you.
5. Not all pros are created equal. Not all makeup artists know how to handle every skin tone, every skin type or every occasion. You wouldn’t want to have your makeup done by someone who specializes in High Fashion Runway makeup for your natural outside morning wedding. So if you are choosing a professional makeup artist, make sure you choose one who specializes in Bridal and will meet all your needs and expectations.
There you have it ladies, the five must haves for your wedding day. We wish you all the best and if you need the best Makeup Artist for your wedding? Well don’t hesitate to call our On Location Bridal Hair & Makeup Specialists today!
