Do Have A Trial Run Before The Big Day
Sit down with your makeup artist beforehand to nail down your dream look, so you’re totally confident it’ll be flawless on the big day. Even if you’re going DIY, a trial run is key to perfecting your makeup game.

Don’t Totally Change Your Look On Your Wedding Day
Your wedding day is all about highlighting your natural beauty so you feel like your most stunning self. Avoid going wild with new or bold colours. For instance, while red can pop for some, especially with brown or black eyes, neutral shades like chocolate, bronze, and copper work with any eye colour, never go out of style, and flatter all complexions.

Don’t Forgo Primer
Bridal makeup needs to stay flawless from the ceremony to the reception. With all the emotions and spotlight, it’s easier said than done. Using a primer in your skincare routine is key to making your makeup last longer.

Blush Is Must
For white or ivory outfits, layer on a bit more blush to avoid looking washed out in photos. Go for peach-pink tones to brighten up your complexion and add a radiant glow. Don’t be shy—apply generously for that perfect, lively finish!

Don’t Skip The Lip Liner
In flash photography, defining features can sometimes get lost. To ensure your lips stand out, use a lip liner in the same shade as your lipstick. This will softly define your pout and make it pop just a little more, giving you that extra edge in photos.

Do Layer Up Long-Lasting Products
For makeup that lasts all day, start with long-wear gel eyeliner that won’t budge, and opt for waterproof mascara to keep your lashes looking fabulous through any tears. Apply a base mascara first to enhance fullness and volume, then layer on the waterproof formula to ensure your look stays put, no matter what.
