1. Make Lips Appear Fuller
Are your lips thin? Here’s a way to make them appear fuller. Take a skin-colored lip liner and extend the natural lip line. But remember, less is more. So do not overdo it.
To make your lips look fuller, pat a little bit of shimmer at the center of the lower lip. This creates the illusion of a fuller lip.
2. Take Care Of Dry Lips
Use a lip balm each times you feel your lips are dry. Do not lick or bite your lips. This will dry the lips and cause them to become chapped and flaky.
3. Apply Your Makeup The Usual Way
Apply the makeup using the right brushes or applicators. If you are comfortable with brushes, then use brushes; if you are comfortable with sponges, use them. Also, if you are comfortable with fingers, use them to apply makeup. It is not a time to experiment, so stick to the usual technique.
4. Match The Makeup With Your Attire
Take a look at your clothes and jewelry. Consult with your makeup artist beforehand about the looks which will go with the dress. Select the one which you want to do on the day. Do not go in for any last minute changes.
5. Choose The Right Foundation
Choosing the right foundation is very important as you don’t want to look pale or darker than usual. Go shopping with a friend or a relative and try different shades on yourself. The goal will be to choose a shade which matches your skin tone. Choosing a tone lighter than your skin tone can make it look grey after some time, especially in the photographs.
6. Use A Highlighter
Use a highlighter instead of shimmer or glitter. The main attempt should be to make the skin appear glowing and not shimmery. Highlight the bridge of the nose, the chin, the forehead and the higher planes of the face.
7. Practice Few Times Before The Wedding
Considering doing your own makeup? Practice doing it beforehand. This way, you will avoid creating a mess on the D-day. It is better to practice two to three times with the looks and try out variations, rather than doing them for the first time on the wedding day itself, which can be stressful.
8. How To Apply A Blush?
Using a blush? Keep at least two fingers distance from the nose and apply the blush.
9. Take Care Of Excess Makeup
Got too much eye makeup/ eyeliner? Take a blotting paper and remove any excess oil, excess makeup, or liner.
10. Mascara Application
Use a good waterproof mascara and make sure it is new or less than three months old. Old mascaras, which have been exposed to air, clot and become very flaky.
11. Buying Makeup
Going to buy makeup for the wedding day? Take a friend with you and make a list of what products you want to try and which items you need. Aimlessly buying products will result in nothing. So plan beforehand and keep the attire and wedding in mind.
12. Check The Weather
Have a wedding in summer/ spring? Choose sheer and light makeup as these will be most appropriate when the weather is hot and humid.
13. Daytime Wedding Or Night-Time Wedding
This is a very important factor to keep in mind when it comes to Indian wedding bridal makeup. If you have the ceremonies during the day, then keep the makeup minimal and opt for a more natural look. If you are going for a night-time wedding, keep the makeup heavy and add more colors. If you have a morning wedding, choose pastel shades for the eye makeup.
14. Choose The Right Lip Liner
Choosing a good lip liner is important. You will be best off with a lip liner matching with the lipstick.
15. Choose The Right Lipstick
Choose a long wearing lipstick for the D-day. You don’t want to be applying it every hour.
16. Applying Foundation
Apply foundation on other exposed parts of the body like the hands, neck, back, and ears. This way, your makeup will look a lot more natural.
17. Use Clean Brushes
Whether you are doing the makeup yourself or a makeup artist is doing it, always use clean brushes and other applicators. You don’t want to get infected by bacteria.
18. Heavy Makeup
Keep the makeup heavier than your usual parties but do keep in mind not to look like a made-up doll.
19. Plucking The Eyebrows
Pluck your brows at least a day before the wedding. Rub an ice cube around the brows to prevent redness or rashes.
20. Choosing The Right Blush
Having trouble choosing the right blush shade? See your face in the mirror right after you exercise. This is the natural color of your cheeks. Look for the color resembling it.
21. Fake Eye Lashes
Want some fake lashes? Use them only if you are comfortable wearing them. Also, use dark-colored lash glue so that it matches the skin tone.
22. Filling Up The Brows
Do not use black to fill in the brows. Use brown shade or taupe shade to fill up the brows. The best way to get a natural looking brow is to use eye shadows and pencils.
23. Take Care Of Your Hands
Use a moisturizer and mix a bit of a highlighter powder to make your hands and feet look naturally glowing.
24. Use Gel Liners
If you are not an ardent follower of liquid liners, use gel liners instead of liquid ones. You will get better precision and a smooth finish.
25. When To Apply Cream
Use a moisturizer on your face and body just after a bath as it is the best time to apply lotions and creams.
26. Touch Up Your Makeup
Keep a compact and blotting paper handy as you can touch up your makeup.
27. Keep Eye Makeup In Place
To keep your eye makeup in place, sweep a bit of translucent powder over it and under the eyes. This prevents a meltdown and makes it crease-proof.
28. Don’t Let Your Lipstick Stain
To keep your lipstick/ lip color from staining your lips, put a finger in your mouth and close your lips. Pull out the finger; this will take out all excess lip color.
29. Make Lashes Appear Fuller
Need to make your lashes appear fuller? Apply some powder on the lashes with your eyes closed and then apply mascara, or else add an eyelash primer just before applying the mascara.
30. Applying Eyeliner
Apply the eyeliner while looking down into the mirror. It will give you a better grip and you will be able to draw straight lines.
31. Use Cream Blushes
Use a cream based blush if you want glow, natural cheeks. Apply it with your fingers in a dabbing motion, and blend it.
32. Focus On One Feature
Focus on one feature at a time. If you are going bold on the lips, then keep the eye makeup subtle/nude (and vice-versa!).
33. Limit The Shimmer
Shimmer looks great but keeps it limited to only one part of the face. You can use shimmer on the eyes or the cheeks.
34. Make Lipstick Stay Longer
Apply a lip liner and then a lipstick, or apply layers of lipstick to make it stay longer.
