Essential Tips For Wedding

• Cleansing your face:

It is very important to cleanse your face before you put on any makeup. This step will remove all the dirt and grime from your face and will lay a blank canvas for you to paint on it as you want.

• Follow up with Skincare:

After cleansing don’t forget to tone and moisturize as usual. This will keep your face hydrated and will also act as a barrier between your skin and your makeup. Follow up with a sunscreen if it is the day time.

• Preping your face:

After you have moisturised your face now it’s time to create the base for your makeup. Apply a primer to fill up your pores and to give your foundation a smooth finish. This also makes your makeup long lasting.

If you have any acne or blemishes you can also use a colour corrector to cancel out the pigmentation.

• Foundation time:

Choose a foundation that matches your natural skin tone so that you don’t look odd. Apply the foundation neatly on your face and neck to achieve the same shade overall.

• Conceal those spots:

Use a concealer to correct any pigmentation or blemishes anywhere on your face. Use a concealer to hide your dark circles if any. This also brightens up your look.

• Bronzer:

Take a tapered brush and apply the bronzer to contour your face. Start above to corners of your lips to the middle of your ear. Do the same thing on your lower jawline and your forehead. Make sure to blend everything well.

• Blush:

Take a fluffy brush and apply blush on the apples of your cheeks to bring back some colour. Use a more pink or a peachy blush for a more natural look.

• Highlighter game:

For a more glowing look use a highlighter to highlight the usual places of your face like the cheek bone, the bridge of your nose, your brow bone, chin and your cupid’s bow. This helps in defining your features.

• Eye makeup:

Create any eyeshadow look that you think goes best with your attire. Gold bronze and pink are the most common shades. Prime your eyes to conceal any uneven skin tone. Then apply your favourite pigment, usually a lighter shade starting from your crease. Gradually build up the colour for a more gradient effect. Smudge a dark shade on your lower lash line for a more smoky effect. Finish off with a eyeliner and kajal.

• Lipstick:

Lipstick is the main product for any makeup look. Choose your favourite colour and texture be it matte, creamy or glossy. Line your lips first following your natural lip line. Then fill in your lips. Dab your lips onto a tissue paper a few times to make it transfer proof. You can also apply setting powder to make it long lasting.

These are some makeup tips that can help you look your best and accentuate your best features. If you are hiring a makeup artist then explain well what type of look you want.

Apart from the makeup your skin care is also important. Skincare should be opted for at least 2 months before the actual day. These includes:

• Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising.
• Stay hydrated.
• Buff away stress.
• Get enough sleep.
• Stay away from the sun.
• Take care of the acne.
• Deep condition your hair.
• Go for manicure pedicure.
• No dry and chapped lips.
• Get glowing skin all over.

These are some of the tips that you should follow to be the best version of you on you big day.

India is a country of different ethnicities and cultures. Keeping this in mind the wedding looks are also different for different cultures. Here are some videos which will help you create the different looks depending on your cultures.
