Makeup Advice For Your Special Day
Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 8:49AM - Book your makeup artist well in advance. Some makeup artists are booked 10 weeks in advance and you want the best makeup artist for your special day.
- Stop waxing your face six weeks before the wedding. I’ve seen bad things happen with skin being burned or ripped off and facial scabs are not what you want on your wedding!
- Be careful with spray tans. If you have never had a spray tan before, I recommend a trial spray tan six weeks before the wedding day. This way you will see how your skin reacts to the solution and if you are happy with the depth of colour. I also recommend you have a light tan. You only want to have a 'glow'.
- Be careful with applying bleach to your skin or having too many deep facials too close to the wedding. They can cause bad breakouts.
- You want to be sure that your makeup artist knows what your hairstyle is like. If it is up, they will know that they may need to do some makeup on the back of your neck or down around the side of your jaw line, etc. You want them to know what the parameters are going to be.
- Trial bridal makeup consultations are essential. They are essential to design and finalise the wedding day look and personalise the timings to ensure your wedding preparations run smoothly with relaxed confidence. A trial is normally carried out 4-6 weeks before your wedding day but if you wish to have a trial sooner, than that's fine too.
