Wedding Day Makeup Tips for Brides
Your wedding day is both the most exciting day of your life, and the most stressful. There are hundreds of things that are happening on your wedding day that you have to keep track of, and your makeup is just one of them. If you want to reduce the amount of stress that you have on your wedding day then you should follow these five simple wedding day tips for brides.
Book a Professional
The one day in your life that you want to be pampered and taken care of is your wedding day. You are going to be under a lot of stress and dealing with a lot of last minute details. To reduce the stress that you experience on your wedding you should hire a professional makeup artist to come to you and do your makeup. This will ensure that your makeup will be perfect, and if adjustments need to be made they will be able to handle them.
Stick to the Plan
Before your wedding day you should do a trial run with your makeup. Try out several different looks to see which one you like the best. At least a week before your wedding select a makeup style that you like and have a Polaroid taken of you with the chosen makeup job. Have this photo with you on your wedding day so your make-up artist will know what to do.
On the day of your wedding you are going to be filled with emotions from excitement to anxiety. Don’t let this flood of emotions confuse you when it comes to your makeup. Once you have selected a makeup style it is best to stick with that style. Last minute changes usually are wrong. Stick with the choices you made when you were calm and collected.
Prepare Ahead of Time
Nothing is worse then getting to the wedding chapel and not having the right equipment with you to do your hair and makeup. If you are planning a traditional ethnic wedding, make sure that you have all of your face, body, and hair jewelry with you when you leave to have your makeup done. Prepare a makeup kit at least two or three days before your wedding. This way you will only need to keep track of one thing, the kit.
Have a Backup Plan
Things inevitably go wrong on wedding days. To ensure that a missing makeup artist won’t hold up your wedding, or cause you to fall apart, have a back up plan. Make sure that there is someone else in your wedding party that can do you makeup if the makeup artist is MIA on your wedding day. And as a last resort you should be able to step in as your own wedding makeup artist.
