We want the best for our wedding day. We often do our best to hire professionals in every aspect of your wedding, so everything is perfect. Unfortunately, things can still go wrong, and that includes your makeup. From the wrong color foundation to a heavy-handed eyeliner look, these are some of the biggest makeup mistakes brides make and how to avoid them.
Wearing the Wrong Foundation Color
Who can accept a foundation color that is either too dark or too light? This can be a big mistake if you don’t match your foundation shade to the rest of your skin tone. Don’t just assume that the color you’ve been wearing for years is good enough for your wedding day. Your makeup artist should be able to help you pick out the perfect shade for your skin tone. Tell them how exactly you want your makeup to look, and they should be able to help you find the right foundation color.
Going Overboard With Contour and Highlighting
Contouring and highlighting are techniques used by professionals to sculpt, slim down the face, and give a more defined look. When done correctly, your makeup will look more natural, but when not done properly, your makeup will look cakey and overdone. Make sure you don’t overdo it on the contouring and highlighting. Note that your makeup can ruin your wedding day if you over-highlight your features. Stay within the contouring and highlighting rules that your makeup artist gave you.
Using Too Much Eyeliner
We know how much we love a good eyeliner look. However, this can be tricky because it looks unnatural and distracting when it’s too heavy. If you want to add drama to your eye look, go for a subtle and soft line rather than a heavy-handed one. The good rule of thumb is to start light and then continue to build the line until you get your desired look. This is much better than going in with heavy eyeliner immediately. In fact, it can even ruin your wedding pictures if your eyeliner looks too dark.
Not Blending Your Makeup Properly
Blending your makeup properly is the key to nailing your wedding day look. This includes foundation, blush, bronzer, and eyeshadows. Blending your makeup will give you a more natural and smoother look that looks effortless and beautiful in the photos. If you don’t blend your makeup correctly, it can look patchy and streaky. So ensure to take the time to blend your makeup carefully using a beauty sponge or brush for seamless results.
Your wedding day is special, and you want everything to be perfect. By avoiding these common mistakes, you’ll ensure that your makeup looks flawless and beautiful in the photos. In addition, make sure you hire an experienced makeup artist that can give you a perfect look for your special day. Ultimately, run a trial and see if everything fits your needs. By doing so, everything will be perfect, and your wedding pictures will be gorgeous.
