Do you have your wedding coming up? Well, the article here offers some very effective make up techniques for the new bashful bride. Firstly, go for a good facial four days prior to the occasion since the real effect and glow of the facial takes time to appear.

Always opt for the highly resistant and waterproof lipstick and apply it in 2 layers with the brush and coat with lip balm since a bride has to kiss numerous people on her wedding day. Then, your entire make-up like your lip-liner, lipstick, and hair color and eyeliner must be in sync and well coordinated with the overall look.

Apply a waterproof foundation cream on your darker portions like the jaw line, neck, under eye region and the chin and coat it evenly. Apply it on your belly, shoulders and back too if you are wearing a stylish wedding gown. Never go for pink blushers as it fades quickly and try out the powder based ones for longer resistance and durability.

The Basics

The first thing which a bride has to do is making sure that her skin is prepared for the makeup. This means that the bride should moisturize the skin before applying any type of foundation. Then, she should apply a prime so the skin is even and then a cream foundation.

Black brides who desire the natural day look should use a dark brown and tan along with off-white combination. Tan shade should be applied on the eyelid and dark brown shade in the crease with off-white applied just under the brow. For having more impact, you can use brighter colors.

Lipstick Ideas

Brides should have a neutral look. Lip colors such as sheer pink or some brown shades with flecks could be used. Bright red may look striking, but it can stain everything. Brides can also wear lip stains, which do last longer as compared to lipsticks.

Get a facial done before the wedding ceremony. Avoid sun if possible as it can cause tan lines and sunburns. Moisturize your face using a product which you frequently use and which works well with your skin. The foundation used should match with your skin perfectly. It should be blended well. Lightly blotting your face using a tissue paper removes the excess oil. Set your foundation by applying loose powder with a brush.

Apply blush to the cheeks with a large brush and blend it with a sponge to have a natural look. Apply lip balm to moisten your lips. Line your lips using the same color matching your lipstick.

Line your eyes using a light shade of liner to have a natural look. Use eye shadow which is a shade darker than you usually use. Waterproof mascara should be used. Finalize the look with the dusting of a bronzer.
