The application:

1. Clean the skin
2. Use skin primer in the T-zone. This will reduce shine and increase the durability of the makeup. Use good products with higher density of pigmentation as these will last longer.
3. Be sure to allow moisturizer a few minutes to be absorbed properly before continuing with the foundation.
4. Use a waterproof matte type foundation for a soft finish, and waterproof mascara
5. Remember that the whiteness of a wedding dress can wash out the true colour of the makeup. Neutrals are always good choices for the blushing bride, but make sure you can still see the blush so apply a little extra!
6. Bronzer can look brown in photographs, so stay away from it unless your bride has darker skin tones. A soft peachy look is preferable. Yellow – based or translucent powder will keep shine down.
7. Concealer is important: many brides may have dark circles from sleepless nights. Use a high density concealer cream, not liquid which can “travel” and use where necessary.

8. Choose a timeless look.

   Remember that the photos will reveal their true value many years later.
   The latest dramatic trends may look ridiculous and dated decades from now. Keep the eye makeup looking natural and light. Dont create heavily ringed racoon eyes.

Generally, eyeliner and mascara go on top lashes only so that the possibility of smearing is reduced, and keep the look fresh and natural.

9. Shimmery products can look washed out in photos, especially in daylight, so do not over use shimmer or glitter. Also, too much glitter can read as false, keep the look as natural as possible.
10. A dab of Vaseline/petroleum jelly on the front teeth will keep smiling lips from sticking to them and keep lipstick from getting on the teeth, which can ruin photographs.

Asian bridal makeup look:

Asian bridal makeup is typical of most brides I know, which is that they want to look young, youthful, and timeless. So maybe stick to those nice pinks for your cheeks and your lips and keep the eyes really neutral, soft, and sandy.

Look at champagne colours,

petal pinks, or seashell pinks even.

You can contrast with a matte bronzer to define your cheekbones and highlight with a nice shimmery champagne colour or a gold colour on the apples of your cheeks or your brow bones or even accordingly the cheekbone.

If you stick to neutral, warm colours with maybe pops of pink in there you are going to look like a timeless, beautiful bride.

More tips:

Brides should understand the difference between everyday makeup and the type of application that will enhance their beauty specially in wedding photos. For brides, the choice is simple —

learn the proper techniques from a makeup artist months before the wedding, or simply invest in a professional application on the day of the event.

For perfect photos,

firstly apply foundation evenly. Use a long lasting matte finish and end with a dusting of pressed powder. Be sure to keep pressed powder handy for touch up;

Generally you don’t want a shiny nose or forehead in your pictures! Remember to match powder to your foundation colour. Be sure to blend it well along the jaw line.

Avoid heavy eyeliner – However it’ll only make your eyes look smaller. Pass on false eyelashes, too. They can cast a shadow beneath the eyes. Instead, accent the outer corner of eyes with black or gray eyeliner.

Choose bridal makeup

but that’s on the understated side. Our best suggestion, select a professional makeup artist with experience in bridal photography otherwise you will not get the results.

Because skin tends to break out or look flushed after a facial, be sure to schedule your facial at least one week before your wedding.

To keep your hands soft, firstly apply our rich non greasy Hand Crème before going to bed, then put on a pair of white cotton gloves. While you sleep, the gloves will hold in body heat and help the hand crème penetrate. In the morning, you hands will feel softer and smoother.

Colors:

• Light colours such as pastels reflect more light and hence enhance the volume of a person. Advisable for persons on the slimmer side.
• Dark colours such as blacks and burgundy, by virtue of reflecting lesser light diminish the volume of the wearer and are advisable for persons on the stouter side.
• Short persons should avoid wearing clothes with contrasting colours.Soon we start online classes as well stay tuned with us for online courses
