Bridal beauty is all about making your best self look even better. You have a chance to experiment with new products and techniques, so don’t be afraid!
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your own skin. Remember: Your wedding day is about being the best version of yourself, not someone else! So go ahead–have fun with your hair and makeup style by trying something new or sticking to what you know works well for you.
Think about your theme and dress style.
If you have a theme for your wedding, think about how to incorporate it into your hair and makeup. Will there be flowers? Will there be a lot of greenery? Will the colors be light or dark? How would these things look in your hair and makeup?
If your dress has lace details, perhaps that lace could line the edges of your updo. If it’s a more casual affair wearing jeans and cowboy boots, maybe try something more dramatic like curling all of your hair as opposed to having it down.
Before booking an appointment with a hairstylist or makeup artist, ask them if they are familiar with any “bridal” styles (i.e., updos) because this may affect how they do their work while at your home on wedding day morning!
Do a hair and makeup trial when you have your dress fitting.
The biggest mistake you can make is to not do a trial with your hair and makeup. If you get your hair and makeup done professionally for the first time on the day of your wedding, there’s a good chance that it won’t go as planned.
- Try to schedule your trial before you find out how much weight you actually gain during your engagement, or else there’s a good chance that by the time of the wedding, all of those diet plans you made will feel like they were written in another lifetime.
- The reason why some brides put off doing their trials until right before their weddings? They don’t want to be stressed out by having someone around while they’re getting ready—or maybe they just don’t have time! But if something goes wrong with either your makeup or hairstyle on the big day (and these things do happen), then everyone will know it was because it was rushed or poorly done.
Create a look that reflects “your” style.
As you’re thinking about your wedding day, it’s important to consider your personal style. Are you a classic person or a more modern one? Are you going to go for something simple and elegant or are you hoping for something bold and unique?
Think about what kind of hairstyle would best suit the occasion, and how that will complement any makeup you choose. Is there anything in particular that stands out as being an essential part of who you are? Maybe it’s your eyes—do they have a certain color that makes them stand out from other people’s eyes? Maybe it’s always been important for people around you to know how much time in the morning it takes for them to get ready because they’re so beautiful. Maybe it is just one thing about yourself that has always defined who are as a person: whether this is something physical like hair color or length, personality traits like confidence or kindness; or whether this is an activity like painting or playing sports. The answers can help guide what sort of look will work best on your wedding day!
Pack a Bridal Beauty Emergency Kit.
If you’re traveling to your wedding, pack a bridal beauty emergency kit. This will include everything you need for touch-ups in case something goes wrong with your makeup or hair.
Include:
- A small bag of light moisturizer, lip gloss and powder.
- Mascara and a mirror (in case the weather makes it impossible to use your natural beauty products).
- Tweezers for last minute brow grooming!
Consider false eyelashes.
- Consider false eyelashes. False eyelashes are one of the most dramatic ways to complement your wedding makeup look, but they can be used for a wide range of occasions, not just weddings. They’re great for adding length and volume to your lashes without actually having long or thick lashes yourself. Even if you have naturally full and long lashes, false eyelashes will create a more dramatic effect that makes them look fuller than they would normally be with less help from mascara.
- Choose a style based on your eye shape and personal preference. Not all styles will work for every bride! The right style is one that emphasizes what looks best about your eyes while being true to who you are as an individual (and what kind of wedding day vibe you want). There are many different types of false eyelash types available—some have minimal adhesive at the ends so they appear more natural; others have delicate fibers with many layers stacked up in order to create impressive length and volume; plus some offer both!
Prepare your skin well in advance.
- Use the right cleanser and moisturizer.
- Get regular facials or at least exfoliate your face before applying makeup.
- Try using a primer, like this one from Caudalie, to help makeup go on smoother and last longer. Be sure to use a good brush when applying it so you don’t waste any product!
- Finish off with a setting spray like Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, which will keep your look fresh all night long!
Match your foundation to your neck, not your face.
- Match your foundation to your neck, not your face.
- Go for a shade that is a little darker than your face and blend it out so that there is no obvious line between where it ends and the skin on your face begins. The best way to do this is with a damp makeup sponge; it will help blend out any harsh lines or streaks left behind by fingers.
If you want a dewy sheen, consider highlighting cream (like Laura Mercier Radiance Primer).
If you want a dewy sheen, consider highlighting cream (like Laura Mercier Radiance Primer) or a powdered highlighter. Try applying it under foundation or on top of it—it can be used as an enhancer for your skin and an overall glow-booster, but be sure to blend well so your makeup doesn’t look like a mask of shimmery powder atop your face. For added radiance, apply highlighting cream to the tops of your cheekbones and down the center of your nose. You can also use it to highlight other areas including décolletage and shoulders.
Don’t be afraid to try something new.
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with your hair and makeup. You might have always worn your hair up, or always put on a ton of foundation and eyeshadow. But when you’re getting married, everything changes—including how you’ll look on the big day!
Don’t be afraid to try new things! Your wedding is all about putting your best face forward, so try something new with your makeup and hairstyle. Don’t worry if it doesn’t work out (you can always ask for a do-over). And don’t be afraid to ask for help: professional stylists are there to make sure every bride looks like the beautiful star she is on her wedding day!
Your wedding day is about being the best version of yourself, not someone else!
Your wedding day is about being the best version of yourself, not someone else! So don’t try to be someone else. Don’t stress about what other people will think and don’t worry about what you look like, just have fun!
