On the day of your wedding, it is sure that you’ll be going for nothing less than a perfect look. With all the preparations that will require your undivided attention, it will be really hard for you to take some time out for your beauty regime.
For looking good on your wedding day, makeup plays a really important role. But, following the daily healthcare regime is also important. You’ll have to look after the skin to make it healthy from the inside, which will make the skin glow which can‘t be done with any amount of makeup.
Here we have compiled a list of dos and don’ts after consulting the top makeup artist in Ahmedabad that we think will help you out in deciding the best look.
Dos: Follow A Regular Skincare Regime
The first step to looking great on your wedding starts at least 6 months in advance. You must consult a dermatologist who can suggest you the daily regime that you must follow according to your skin type for better results.
The beauty basics that you have probably heard like drinking lots of water, eating healthy, including fruits and green vegetables in your diet are also very important and will help detox the body from the inside.
Test It Out
Avoiding any last-minute surprises when it comes to makeup is a great idea. So, you must ask your bridal makeup artist for a trial at least 3-4 weeks prior to the actual wedding day. You must make it a point that you feel good on the day of the trial as then only you’ll be able to judge how you’ll look on the day of your wedding. You must get proper rest for a day before the trial and get the hairs done properly. You must also sport some jewelry along with a shirt that matches the color of the wedding gown, and then take a picture of yourself and check if that looks good.
Collect References In Advance
Before visiting the bridal makeup artist for the first time, you must do thorough research on the look that you want to sport at your wedding. It’ll be great if you can collect some references as this will greatly help the makeup artist in understanding what you want.
Don’ts: Go Overboard With Wedding Makeup
There is no denying the fact that makeup is essential when you’re going for the perfect look at your wedding. But, as an excess of something can become really bad, similarly, going overboard with the makeup will end up ruining your look. Our experts advise that proper research is necessary and it is for you to decide what look you want on your wedding and not the makeup artist you hired.
Just Apply Makeup To Your Face :
Are you in the idea that makeup is just for the face? You’ll have to consider extending the makeup to the neck and over the shoulders as well. This will ensure that the skin tone and the texture does not stand out from the other body parts. You must also try to include waterproof and smudge proof cosmetics in the makeup as they will remain where you put them and you won’t have to check again and again that if you’re looking okay.
Scare Away From Brighter Shades:
Neutral, brown and pale hues of lipstick look great when you see them in person but when it comes to the photographs these will look washed out and dull. So you must wear a shade that is two or three shades higher than the ones that you usually wear. Pink, plums, and reds look really great Lipstick Shades. If you usually wear dark lipsticks then you can use them as a base and then apply some brighter pink shade on top to add a punch to it. Along with the colors you’ll also consider the texture of the lipstick as well and must stay away from too glossy or matte ones, as, too glossy will wear out in a few hours and too matte will make your lips dry. You can select semi-gloss lipsticks as these will provide the moisture and the shine will last longer.
Considering these Dos and Don’ts when finalizing on the makeup that you’ll be wearing on the wedding day will help you judge your look and make it better. The one additional hack that you must keep in mind is not to rush everything and take your time when deciding on your perfect look.
