Complexion:

On the wedding day, don’t hydrate your skin too much. A light cream will be enough to awaken your complexion and allow makeup to hold better. Try using a moisturising cream to optimise hold, appearance and form a protective barrier.

–Which foundation to choose?
Opt for a liquid foundation which will let your skin breathe as much as possible and will look much more natural. Seek to unify without adding too much material. To do this, use a water-based liquid foundation and absolutely avoid choosing a foundation darker than your skin tone. Finally, here is an anti-darkness tip: Choose a rather fluid but covering foundation that can be stretched well up to the neckline to avoid creating a demarcation between the color of the face and the neck color.

–How do I make my foundation last as long as possible?
Apply, before foundation, a mattifying base because guests generally wait a long time for the bride and if it’s hot outside, it will help you look fresh until ‘early morning. It is best to powder your complexion well, it’s a key step! It will allow your foundation not to move and keep your complexion luminous but not shiny.
Opt for fine white loose powders or a compact powder with a little talc, so that you can powder your nose several times a day without having a mask effect. To finish off your makeup in style, you can also use setting mists, which will increase the length of time your makeup lasts.

–How do I highlight my eyes?
A wedding is an opportunity to wear a little more sophisticated makeup than usual, but we must not go overboard. Avoid going too heavy and using black, especially if you are emotional!. Opt for light, fresh makeup. Avoid black shades, and opt for derivatives like dark purples. The ideal to achieve a flawless result is to opt for nude shades.
Favour makeup in neutral tones, a smocky for the most gifted or a gradient of brown/beige/gold for others, this will be just as perfect. Finally here is a tip for widening the eyes: Apply a beige pencil to the mucous membrane of the eye. Indeed, black pencil should be avoided, especially for small eyes, because it tends to give the impression of a smaller eye.

The lips
–How to choose the color of your lipstick?
Try to choose your lipstick according to your outfit, if you are in white, beige, or black, go for pink to look fresh. Otherwise, red or nude lipstick goes very well with a red dress. To create harmony in our makeup we keep a simple rule in mind: if the eyes are bold, we choose a discreet color for the mouth and conversely, if the eye makeup is light, we can wear a flashy or intense color on the lips.

–How do I apply my lip makeup?
Draw the outline of your mouth with a pencil of the same color as your lipstick or with a transparent pencil. This will prevent it from being deposited in the small lines of the lips. Above all, don’t go beyond the contour of the lips to give the impression of a fuller mouth. This is a misstep to avoid!. Indeed, we do not lose sight of the fact that your makeup must highlight you while remaining natural. For a colored but natural lip, apply your lipstick with your finger by tapping on the color.
