While your wedding dress is surely important, your makeup is equally crucial. Not everyone will be only looking at your face, but marriage photos are forever. Whether you are a bride to be or just dreaming of your wedding, you can be ensured that you look the best on your special day just by avoiding these 5 bridal makeup mistakes listed below:
1. No Makeup Trial Before Wedding Day
You don’t want to book a photographer without looking at his portfolio. So you must schedule a make trial with your makeup artist because it is a very vital first step as you need to find out what look you want and ensure you and makeup man are on the same page.
2. Using Long-Lasting Lipsticks
The lasting lipsticks cause drying and cracking. Therefore, first you need to outline your lips with a lip pencil and then apply lipstick and blot with a folded tissue. After that reapply color because will leave pigment on your lips and the lipstick will stay for longer time.
3. Overlooking The Rest Of Your Body
If you're wearing a dress that exposes your chest, back, legs or arms, then you need to address those spots with a non-transferable shimmer lotion. If not, you run the risk of your body skin looking blotchy. Mix together a body formula in with some drops of foundation to do your neck for a faultless transition from your face makeup.
4. Forgetting A Touch-Up Kit
A wedding day is the most important day for both bride and groom, and it is not about looking photo-perfect for the right. Therefore, you must consider about packing a touch-up kit, which must include everything you used when you first applied your products. This way, you can improvise your makeup in the bathroom quickly if you don't have a makeup artist there all night in your wedding day.
5. Avoiding Waterproof Mascara
It goes for both wedding guest and the bride. However, not using waterproof mascara can be the biggest mistake you can make as well. “We know that weddings are emotional celebrations, particularly for the bride’s family, so tears are guaranteed. So, use waterproof mascara” said by Sohni Juneja,famous make-up and hair style artist based in Delhi.
Important Tip:
You should wear a white top when you have a makeup trial. If you don't have a white top, then put a white towel around your neck and take some pictures like that as it provides a great feel for how the palette is going to appear.
