Every bride dreams of sporting an effortlessly flawless bridal look on her big day. From that perfectly placed winged eyeliner to seamless flushed cheeks everything is essential. Your makeup is as important as your outfit and accessories and most importantly your makeup needs to be long-lasting. For impeccable snaps, you can also go for HD makeup.
Prepping your skin and creating a perfect base is important for flawless bridal makeup. Here is a guide to flawless bridal makeup.
1. Prepping Your Skin
The first step is to prep your skin to ensure your makeup lasts longer. Cleanse your skin, moisturize and then apply a primer. Using a primer ensures that your makeup lasts longer.
2. Creating A Perfect Base
After you have applied the primer, allow it to dry. Then go for a foundation that suits your skin tone. If you have a cool undertone opt for a foundation that has a pink base. If you have a warm skin tone opt for a foundation that has a yellow or golden base.
To achieve a smooth finish remember not to rub the foundation. Just spread it evenly with a foundation brush or with your fingertips.
3. Apply Concealer
You can go for a concealer if you have dark circles or blemishes. Opt for a concealer that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. Go for a liquid concealer for better coverage.
4. Contouring And Highlighting
Contouring is used to accentuate your cheekbones and other best features. Moreover, it makes your face look chiseled. Highlighting is used to add a dash of shimmer to your forehead, the bridge of your nose and the chin. Use highlighter sparingly as it makes you unflattering.
5. Accentuate Your Eyes
For bridal eye makeup go for eyeshadows that complement your bridal outfit. To make your eyes pop, opt for bold eyeliner and for your lashes to look thick, apply multiple coats of mascara. Some of the sought-after bridal makeup eye shadows are gold, bronze, champagne, etc
