Perfect summer wedding make up
Hi my name is Caro Millington I am a professional wedding g hair stylist and freelance makeup artist, today I am going to tell you how to have perfect makeup on your wedding day
In the weeks leading up to your big day it is essential to get good nights sleep, even though your mind is whirring with planning and excitement.
Drink your quota of water each day as this will help to ensure you have a radiance and sparkling complexion as it will flush all the toxins from your body and skin.
Your usual skincare routine topped up with weekly face masks and if you can a facial (no closer to the wedding than 10/14 days, as occasionally this can cause a breakout of spots) will all help with that summer glow you would like to achieve. In the week before the wedding, a trip to the beautician is a great time for eyebrow shaping and tinting if required.
I recommend to all my brides that if they are having their bridal make up professionally applied to have a trial make up appointment at least 4 weeks before the wedding. Here you can chat with your makeup artist to explain the look you are hoping to achieve
Consider-Do you normally wear a lot of heavy foundation? Do you like full coverage? Do you prefer a lighter more natural appearance? Do you like the colour of your foundation to give you a more tanned appearance or to be very close to your own colouring? It is important that the makeup artist uses a foundation that is compatible with the flash photography as your wedding photographer will no doubt be taking lots of flashes enhanced photographs on the day. No bride wants to look at shinny images of her, ask the makeup artists to take photographs of you once the look is complete as then you can be sure it is the look for you.
