Look Gorgeous on Your Wedding Day
If your wedding day is fast approaching, you’re probably thinking about it a lot. More specifically, you’re probably thinking about how you’ll look and how everything will go. Hopefully, you’ve hired a professional hair and makeup artist to glam you up for your big day and the photos. Whether you have or you’re taking a DIY approach, a few tips can keep you looking great during your wedding and reception.
Get Hydrated
In the days leading up to your wedding, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water. Skip out on soda, alcohol, and other beverages that can do you more harm than good. You’re aiming for healthy, hydrated skin. It will make your makeup go on smoother and help it look more natural. As an added bonus, being hydrated will help you feel your best. This is especially important if you're getting married somewhere warm, like Maui, or if your wedding is outdoors during a sunny season.
Remember, Practice Makes Perfect
If you’ve booked professional makeup services, make sure you schedule a “trial run” well ahead of time. You want to see what your artist can do. Plus, you need to ensure your style vision matches theirs. Also, take a few photos of your trial makeup so you can see how it looks on film. After all, how makeup looks in person and how it appears on camera can be very different. Even if you’re doing your makeup yourself, you should still practice a few looks and take photos to find the right one.
Opt for Waterproof Makeup
The best makeup artists will know to use waterproof wedding makeup. But, just in case, make sure you specify you want waterproof mascara, foundation, and more. It’s a must on your wedding day. There’s a good chance you’ll sweat, cry, drink, and dance cheek to cheek . . . all of which can ruin your makeup. Fortunately, the waterproof stuff tends to fare better for longer than lighter makeup choices.
If you’re happy on your wedding day (and you should be!), you’re going to look great no matter what. But, following these makeup tips can make you look even more fabulous. And, above all else, have fun and enjoy your big day to the fullest.
