A perfectly-done bridal makeup involves multiple factors, which make it different from makeup for other events. It is tailored to the bride's appearance, and vision in mind, enhancing her best features. The lighting of the venue, the theme, the wedding outfit - the makeup look must harmonize with all of these. It also takes into account the weather and climate and needs to be long-lasting so the bride looks like a dream from the minute she makes her entry to the time she exits.
Generally, bridal makeup packages include hair as well. It depends on the stylist and their team. Make sure you discuss every last detail with them and also go for a trial session a week or two before the wedding to finalize the entire look with your outfit, footwear, and accessories.
Regardless of how light or heavy of a makeup look the bride wants, it is always safer to start on it four to five hours before the ceremonies begin. This allows the bride and the stylists enough time to pay attention to the smallest details, get ready in a stress-free space, and take photographs of the process without piling on to the wedding jitters.
Most certainly. A makeup trial, complete with the outfit, hair, accessories, and footwear is an absolute must to ensure you and your stylist are on the same page. This trial session allows the makeup artist to improvise and custom-create a look that works for you while incorporating your preferences. You will also be able to determine what is missing and how you can cover up for it on the main day.
Choose a lipstick shade according to your skin's undertone first. You can determine your undertone by looking at the veins on the inside of your wrists. If they are bluish, you are cool-toned, and if they are greenish, you are warm-toned. For cool tones, go for deeper shades of pink, red, and berry colors. For warm tones, go for vibrant peach, coral, and crimson shades.
Absolutely. Even if your wedding is on a cold winter night, and there is hardly any chance of you sweating, consider getting waterproof makeup done for your wedding. You never know what kind of emergency may arise. There might be an accidental splashing of water, or a too-friendly relative may smash cake on your face. Better safe than sorry!
