Wedding makeup: how to do it and what products to use?

A professional is always calm and collected. Force majeure, panic, commotion, vanity - nothing matters: the mind is clear and the hand is steady, like makeup artist Irina Kurilko - our expert in the field of wedding makeup .

Tone

A distinctive feature of modern technology is hypersensitivity. The camera notices everything down to the slightest wrinkle, and if you apply a thick layer of makeup to your face, you can get the effect of a plasticine face. Therefore, theoretically, wedding makeup should be light and natural.

In practice, a light tone is only good for healthy skin. Serious shortcomings cannot be corrected with its help. The “makeup artist will come and cover everything up” attitude is also not the best. There is only one way out: prepare for the wedding in advance. At a minimum, consult a cosmetologist and tidy up your facial skin. Then there will be no problems with makeup.

Dry skin is not a bad thing. The tone will not float and will lie perfectly. In case of mild discomfort and dryness, it is enough to refresh your face with thermal water. Applying makeup is carried out as usual in several stages. We focus on hydration.

Owners of oily and combination skin mostly worry about excess shine, demanding to eliminate the slightest hint of it. Initially, here you should work with the client, explain that a slight shine is a normal, healthy skin condition. You need to treat it calmly and without fanaticism: use mattifying products in your makeup, and throughout the day before the photo shoot, powder the T-zone so that it does not glare.

Highlighters

On oily skin, it is advisable to use highlighters only on the most prominent areas, such as the brow area, high cheekbone, maybe the chin, earlobes - except for the T-zone. Don't forget about the body - shoulders, collarbones, neckline, arms and even legs if the dress is short.

Blush

Blush is the freshness of the face. Colors of freshness – pink, peach, pink-peach. When a girl smiles, “apples” appear, and we apply blush on them. Matte products are best as pearlescent can be reflective, especially in the middle of the cheek.Blush is also applied to the eyebrow area, center of the chin, tip of the nose, outer corner of the eye, shoulders and décolleté. Visually they will be invisible, but will add freshness.

Today, the choice of blush is huge. Liquid ones look more natural and last longer. Dry compact or ball-type ones are easier to use. The choice is a matter of taste.

Eyes

In bride's makeup, the emphasis in most cases is on the eyes. Considering the peculiarities of the Slavic wedding, such a move is completely justified, practical and expedient - after numerous “bitter”, friendly hugs and kisses, the eyes and eyebrows, one might say, are the only thing that will remain in their original form.

But this does not mean that red lipstick is prohibited. An emphasis on the lips is possible if you are planning a themed wedding, a celebration in a European or any other style, and also if the bride is ready to touch up her makeup during the holiday or invites a makeup artist for the whole day. It all depends on individual wishes and preferences.

Lips

For obvious reasons, emphasis on lips in wedding makeup is extremely rare. Therefore, light gloss, balm or hygienic lipstick are used. If bright wedding lip makeup is one of the main requirements of the bride, the task of the makeup artist is to help her with this.

The first stage is preparing the lips, moisturizing. Then a lasting contour is applied, which can be shaded over the entire surface of the lips, lipstick and, if desired, gloss. Any colors can be used - from caramel pink to dark burgundy shades. In any case, the bride should understand what sacrifices she is making and keep a pencil, lipstick and mirror near her at all times.

Brides, like weddings, are different. It all depends on the dress. Monograms, embroidery, openwork and lace suggest shading, soft transitions, and a light feminine look. Straight silhouette lines without additions, draperies, folds are combined with more strict lines in makeup - a clear line of eyeliner, a clear contour of the lips, perfectly formed eyebrows.

Makeup can have something in common with a dress or bouquet. Sometimes the bride gets makeup to match the groom - his suit, bow tie. Some try to achieve absolute harmony of color and style - the bride, groom, witnesses, flowers, cars, etc. It all depends on the imagination and pedantry of the people with whom you have to work, because there are so many options for wedding makeup!
