How to Perfect Your Wedding Day Look

Looking and feeling beautiful on your wedding day is on every bride’s mind. If you want to ensure that you look your best all day, here are some tips and tricks that will make your wedding day look flawless while highlighting your natural beauty.

Line Your Lips

One of the most important parts of your wedding day look is your lips. You will want to keep them looking perfect, even after the first kiss – and all the ones that follow. To do this, you will need to line your lips and fill up the entire lip with the lip liner.

It is also smart to go with a lip stain rather than a lipstick. You do not want to have to worry about reapplying your lipstick over and over again with each kiss and with each sip of champagne. Apply a sheer gloss right before you walk down the aisle.

Stay Oil Free

You may feel yourself start to become oily as the day wears on, which could be caused by stress or nervousness. If this is the case, do not add more makeup to the oily areas. Instead, get some toilet paper or a tissue and blot at your t-zone until your face is dry once again.

Prime the Area

To keep your makeup looking great all day and into the night, prep the skin before adding your makeup. The better you prep your skin, the longer your look will last. Start by washing your face, then apply either a cleanser or a toner, then moisturize. Use a pore primer after your moisturizer, and you are ready to begin applying your wedding day makeup.

Layer Your Look

You will want to layer your look, your eyeliner especially. The same is true for blush. If you want the blush to last, then it is smart to layer both a powder and a cream blush together. This will give your face both dimension as well as texture.

Go to the Dentist

Something that often gets overlooked is the smile. Taking care of your teeth can make a huge difference. There are several whitening, straightening, and other cosmetic treatments that you can schedule ahead of your big day. Depending on the treatment you select, it may just take one or two visits, or it may take a few weeks to get your teeth perfectly white, so it’s a good idea to set up an appointment well in advance of your wedding. If you want to ensure that you love every picture taken on your big day, you will want to have a beautiful white smile looking back at you. Your dentist can help you achieve this look.

Seek Inspiration

A lot of brides turn to websites like Pinterest for hair and makeup ideas, but you can also browse wedding videography portfolios for inspiration. These can be useful reference points for makeup artists and hairdressers as well.
