Beauty Tips

 

The radiant glow on your face is going to come naturally and you’ll only want to enhance if with your makeup. These application tips will help you look the best for your wedding.

 

Moisturizer and makeup base should be applied with a cotton ball, which helps control the amount used. This is less wasteful and much neater. Use a sponge to blend your base makeup to assure an even application. This will also prevent the transmission of bacteria from your hands and any redness caused by rubbing too hard with your fingers.

 

Powder over your foundation for a matte look. This will also set a good base for applying the rest of your makeup.

Roll a cotton swab in loose powder and apply under lower lashes to make your eyeliner last longer and to prevent smudging.

 

Dramatize your eyes and make the white of your eye brighter by lining the outer third of the lower inside lid with a deep blue eye pencil.

 

Accent your eyebrows lightly with an eyebrow pencil or use an old, almost dry mascara wand. Hairspray will also help to thicken the eyebrows and keep them in place. When using colors, dab your brushes in the color much as an artist dabs in paint. Never rub or dig your brush in color.

 

Make sure you are using the correct brush for placement of color. Each brush is designed to fit a certain area of your face. Good sable brushes will filter color so it will go on lightly and evenly and you don’t want a dark linear effect. With weekly washings in shampoo, and thorough rinsing, sable brushes will last for years.

 

Most important, make sure you practice your makeup application with the colors you’ve chosen to wear ahead of time, or schedule a makeover appointment at least a week before your wedding. Knowing you’ll look perfect

will make you relaxed and confident on you wedding day.
