How to choose the perfect wedding day makeup?

The perfect wedding makeup look is imperative, it gives you glowing confidence and channels you. If you look like yourself, the best version of yourself you will feel comfortable, relaxed and everyone will not be able to keep their eyes off of you.

1. The Style

Consider the style of your wedding dress, hair, venue. Is it a boho feel? Use soft bronze tones, glamorous, vintage, add a cat flick and so on. These elements will shape your Bridal look.

2. Reference images

Use reference images that have similar features and colourings to you. The look you love on an alabaster bride will not translate on you if you have a deep honey skin tone and vice versa. Look at the recurring themes that you see on your Pinterest board and identify the key features you love about the look. A makeup artist experience can translate looks for you.

3. The season

Consider the time of year the wedding is. A season can inspire and influence your makeup. The autumnal colours of rich rust and copper tones, for winter a berry, burgundy, pewter. For spring, fresh soft pinks, salmon, oyster and summer corals, peach and gold.

4. Book a makeup artist

Hire a makeup artist who will work with you to craft a look with a skilful eye and hand. They will confidently assist in choosing colours and create a look that brings out your best features. Your bridal trial is a time where you can try things and establish what you want.

5. Still stuck

If you are unsure, opt for a classic Bridal look using soft colours that naturally occur in your skin tone to enhance your eyes, facial structure and lips. The final result will not look overly made up.
