Key tips for wedding makeup
Here’s a step-by-step process on how to get the perfect look on your fabulous day:
Step 1: Primer
Moisturize your skin then apply (The Primed Skin Developer- Kenyn Aucoin ) for radiance and smooth skin.
How To: Apply primer and moisturizer on your face, neck, and décolleté.
Pro Tip: Mixing moisturizer and primer together will save you time.
Step 2: Concealer
A really good concealer is ( IT – COSMETICS) -Bye Bye full coverage concealer. IT covers, highlights and gives you a fabulous look. It’s creamy, high-pigment, and crease-free.
How To: Use concealer to cover blemishes and dark circles. Warm up the formula and then apply with a sponge or using your fingertips.
Step 3: Foundation
For a flawless, hydrating and long lasting look apply (Giorgio Armani – Luminous Silk Foundation ). This liquid foundation fits everyone’s needs and you won’t feel like you’re wearing a ton of heavy makeup.
How To: Use a foundation brush to get the best application and remember a little product goes a long way. Start your application in the center of the face, blending outwards and in a circular motion.
Those that like a dewy look we suggest a little spritz of a Hydrating Mist onto the skin or a sponge with the foundation for that magically dewy finish.
Step 4: Highlighter and Blush
For blush we recommend (Tarte – Cheek Stain) which works wonders for a natural, dewy looking flush; they’re creamy, bleadable and flattering to any skin type.
How To:
BLUSH:
For the natural bridal glow, we suggest shades natural beauty, flush, exposed or tipsy. Apply directly to the apple of the cheek, blending up and out towards the hairline.
HIGHLIGHTER:
Applying highlighter to the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, the brow bones and a little to the Cupid ’s bow.
Tip:
My favorite highlighter is (Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector – in Pearl and Champagne color). This highlighter works well with all shades.
Step 5: Eye Shadow, Liner, and Mascara
How To:
1. For a flawless eyelid color use (MAC – Pro Longwear Paint pot in Nude Beige). This highly pigmented, long wearing eyeshadow goes on creamy and dries to a vibrant finish. Use highlight color or cream eyeliner pencil to the inner corner of the eye and lower water line to lighten and brighten your eyes.
Tip: warm up the product on the back of the hand before applying.
2. Apply the Tarte -Eyeliner Pencil in Brown along the lower lash line, and smudge with a small brush for a softer look.

3. Using (Anastasia Brow Definer Brow Pencil) to color in and define your eyebrows.
Tip: Brush brows up and outwards with a brow brush
4. Lastly, volumize and lengthen lashes with the Blinc Mascara .

Step 6: Lips
Effortless, soft, sexy and natural LIPS
