The Perfect Bridal Makeup: Tips & Tricks from a Pro Makeup Artist

One of the biggest days of your life is your wedding day, and with it comes the pressure to look, no pun intended, your best as a bride. The important aspect of looking beautiful and confident on your special day is your bridal makeup. The best bridal makeup will enhance your natural features, harmonise with your dress, and last all day through to your celebrations.

Here at Crazy Girls Salon, we know that bridal makeup is among the most consequential kind of makeup for any bride which is why we’ve asked our professional makeup artists to share some tips and tricks on how to get the bridal look of your dreams.

Skincare: This is the base of good makeup

When it comes to bridal makeup, the skin is everything. Fresh, radiant skin provides a perfect canvas for applying makeup. Here’s how to get your skin ready ahead of the big day:

Tip 1: Make sure to hydrate: Start drinking a lot of water 1-2 weeks before your wedding day for a hydrated and healthy looking skin. Don’t be dehydrated: This can make your skin look dull and dry, and lead to makeup that applies poorly and doesn’t last.

Cleanse & Moisturize: Clean your face to eliminate dirt and oil, and follow up with an ultra-hydrating moisturizer to seal in moisture. A moisturised face means your makeup will look fresh and glowing for longer.

Exfoliation: 1-2 Days Before–Exfoliation removes dead skin and leads to a smoother makeup application. But don’t go overboard with exfoliation, as that can lead to irritation.

Get a Facial: This one is quite exclusive. Book a facial out at Crazy Girls Salon days before your wedding and feel the glow. We customize our bridal facials to your individual skin type and concerns.

A Primer As a Makeup Setting Agent

A great primer is key to keeping your makeup in place from day to night. It creates a smooth finish, minimizes pores and helps foundation go on evenly. Choose for your skin type a primer that fits your needs:

If you have oily skin, choose a mattifying primer to help absorb excess oil.

A hydrating primer will leave a dewy finish for dry skin.

And for sensitive skin, use a calming primer that will calm any irritation.

At Crazy Girls Salon, our makeup artists always use good-branded primers as per your skin type to ensure your bridal makeup stays put.

Choose the Right Foundation

Your foundation matches your skin tone, and the coverage is suitable for your skin type. You want a long-wearing foundation that can give you that medium to full coverage and smooth out imperfections while still looking forgiving, so something that’s not too cake-y, so for a bridal look.

Keep It for A Matte or Dewy Finish: Stick with a finish that you like. Dewy finishes provide a luminous glow, while matte finishes tame shine and set everything in place.

Blend, Blend, Blend: To make sure that your foundation is blended, you need to make sure that it is completely mixed when applying to your skin for a natural and flawless look. Using broad strokes, blend from your face’s center outward to avoid any harsh lines.

Try Airbrush Makeup: If you are looking for a smooth finish which lasts long then go for Airbrush makeup. Ideal for brides, it gives a picture-perfect finish that lasts all day.

Eye Definitions to Get That Stunning Look

The eyes are the most important part of bridal makeup as a simple switch makes your look. Here’s how to make eyes pop:

Eyebrows: Groomed brows define your face and brings out the color of your eyes. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in areas and get definition. Just be certain that the color is your natural brow shade.

Eyeshadow: Select eyeshadow colors that match your wedding theme and gown. Soft, neutral tones such as champagne, rose gold or taupe are ideal for a perpetual classic bridal look, while bolder colors could help to inject some drama and personality.

Eyeliner & Mascara: A defined eyeliner will frame your eyes, while waterproof mascara will keep your lashes looking voluminous and in place all day long.

False Lashes: If you want more volume, false lashes can be the perfect finishing touch. Select lashes that complement the shape of your eyes, and ensure they are comfortable for hours of wear.

Perfect Contour and Highlight

Using contouring and highlighting techniques can define your face and draw attention to your best features. Here’s how to create a bridely sculpted look:

Contour: Apply a cool-toned contour powder or cream to sculpt your cheekbones, jawline, and nose. Blend so there are no harsh lines.

Highlight: Use a cream highlighter to accentuate the high points of your face – your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your cupid’s bow. This will provide you with a dewy glow.

Do not go overboard; a little contour and high light will get you that perfect glow.

Perfect Your Lip Color

A perfect lip colour plays a pivotal in your bridal makeup. Whether you go bold with a red lip or keep things soft with a nude (or to match your bouffants) charge your lipstick with extending for hours and colour that suits your overall look.

Pick Long-Lasting Lip Products: For previous touch-ups at any speed, work for long-wear lipsticks, lip liners, and glosses. If you want a hair with a lengthy end, matte liquid lipsticks are nice.

Lip Liner: This is one vital step you won’t skip! It defines your lips, keeps feathering at bay and makes certain your lipstick stays in place for hours.

Opt for a Lip Tint: If you want a softer look for your bridal makeup, choose a lip tint for a flush that will last longer than regular lipstick.

Set Everything in Place

You’ll want your bridal makeup to last all day after all that work. Setting spray must-have to hold your makeup in place. A light spritz will ensure everything stays in place and you’ll look fresh from your ceremony through reception.

Practice Before the Big Day

A few weeks before the wedding, have a trial run with your makeup artist to make sure everything goes smoothly on your wedding day. this gives you the chance to try out different looks, make sure you like the final results, and change a few things around if needed.
