Wedding Makeup Advice
Brows, Eyes, and Cheeks
Well-defined eyebrows are important to how you photograph, but there is more
than one way to achieve them: plucking, waxing, or threading. (Never heard of
threading?
Read
about eyebrow threading here.) All facial waxing, including your eyebrows,
should be done at least seven days before the wedding. If waxing causes skin
irritation, you should allow a week for it to heal; or skip the waxing and opt
for plucking or threading instead.
Visit an experienced esthetician to have your eyebrows shaped. Your brow
shape should suit your facial structure and help you look the way you want to
look. Your brows can change what shape others see when they look at your face.
For example, flatter brows make long faces appear shorter, and high arches make
a round face look more oval.
Eyes
Few features are as important as your eyes. They should shine with the
happiness you feel, but you may have to help them along. Here are some
suggestions for creating and maintaining perfect eyes for your wedding day and
on into the night:
- On the morning of your wedding day, check your eyes for any signs of
redness, especially if you didn’t sleep well the night before. Red eyes
don’t photograph well.
- Use over-the counter eye drops to clear the redness.
- If your eyes are swollen or tired looking, take a ten-minute breather
with tea bags on your closed eyes to make you look and feel more alert.
- Wear waterproof eye makeup — mascara and eyeliner — to keep it from
smudging, streaking, or smearing.
- Add definition to your eyes by using different soft eye shadow shades.
- Add eyeliner for a bit of drama. You can use a pencil, a thin brush full
of eye shadow, or liquid liner. Be sure to practice applying eyeliner well
before your wedding day.
- Leave the false eyelashes at home. Instead, curl your natural lashes to
make them appear longer and more defined.
Cheeks
Subtle cheek color can add an extra "something" to your natural glow and help
accent your facial features. Here are some tips for making the most of a wedding
day blush:
- The type of blush to use depends on your skin type. Use gel and cream
blushes for normal-to-dry complexions; powder blush for oily.
- Stains are another option. They produce a natural looking flush, making
your cheeks appear moist and young. Stains dry very quickly, however. You
must work fast when applying them. For a more lasting look, apply cream or
powder blush on top of the stain.
- You can also layer blush by first applying a cream blush, then a dusting
of translucent powder, and finishing with a powder blush.
-
Keep your blush simple. Use a rosy or peachy-golden color, applied only
on the apples of your cheeks.
- For well-defined cheekbones, contour below the apples and toward your
ear with a darker blush or bronzer.
- For evening drama, after you apply blush dot a shimmery white
highlighter along the tops of cheekbones. Mix in a bronzer if your
complexion is dark.
