Bridal Beauty


Every bride deserves to be the very special lady of the day and look her best. The hairdo, the makeup, the bridal trousseau and how the bride conducts herself is the focus of everybody's attention on this day and you will certainly feel much more comfortable, if you have already done the dress rehearsal first. Here are some useful tips for the bride
[1] To cover the reddish skin, use sheer color corrector and apply tinted moisturizer of yellowish green or olive green shade to neutralize it.
[2] Pink color blush is not for the wedding day, generally speaking. Try bronzer under cheekbones instead.
[3] Bright lip colors may be warm such as orange-red, orange-gold, copper and warm beiges, creams and caramels or cool such as fuchsia, magenta, blue-reds, shades of lilac and pink and make lips look plusher and fuller.
[4] Deep warm lip colors such as yellowish and orangish browns; mahogany, deep warm reds and chocolate and deep cool shades such as cool brown, taupe, deep purple, plum and blue-toned burgundy underplay too much thickness of lips.
[5] The subtle look can be achieved by using the air-brush a lot and sticking to light shades such as cream, gold, lime green and brown for warm skin undertones and lilac, plums and soft pink for cool skin undertones.
[6] Neutrals are the safest choice to make you seem a bride endowed with natural beauty
[7] Be sure to coordinate you overall look: all the colors should have either warm or cool tone while your hair, make-up, jewelry and gown should correspond to the carefully chosen theme.
[8] Hairstyle is usually chosen, after completing the makeup to suit the looks of the bride
[9] If you are not used to wearing heavy makeup, keep your hands away from blue and green eye shadows.
[10] For olive and dusky skinned ladies, maroons and brown lip colors are the safest bet as well as the golden tones.
[11] Hairstyles are often adorned with pearls, rhinestones, flower buds, golden lace, satin ribbons, jeweled hair bands and tiaras among other hair ornaments and may range from the simplest French braid or bud to complex and elaborate hairdos.
[12] Bridal makeup includes all the attention to the minutest of details. Don't overlook them for the finished look.
[13] A timeless makeup look will keep your wedding snaps fresher forever, so try not to give in to the fads of the day.
[14] Cream foundation with a high pigment level is recommended.
[15] Don't forget to cover your neck, chest, area behind your ears with foundation and makeup too. Don't forget to cover your neck, chest, area behind your ears with foundation and makeup too.
[16] Morning weddings need natural look makeup while evening weddings need more formally adorned brides with darker makeup shades.
[17] Lighting also determines your makeup. A well-lit area uses lighter colors while deeper tones are good for darker areas. Fluorescent lighting will add a greenish tinge to everything so avoid green shades.
[18] Try not to be too dramatic but there is a secret seldom revealed: red lipstick makes teeth appear whiter!

Additional Lip Tips

Lips and eyes are the most important focal points of your face so one must pay special attention to these areas while doing makeup. Here are some additional tips for your lips that you can use...


[1] Lipstick staining your teeth makes you look extremely shabby. To avoid this, pucker your lips in an extreme 'O' and then apply the lipstick.

[2] Even if your lipstick smudges to the insides of your lips, wrap your finger with a tissue and put it into your mouth, and twist it slowly to eliminate any extra color.

[3] You can also highlight your lips by using a light film of eye shadow color coordinated with your lip color in the center of the upper and lower lips.

[4] If one of your lips is larger than the other, balance the look by using the lighter shade of the lipstick on the smaller-sized lip.

[5] Don't let your lipstick pass on to the utensils while dining by using your tongue and lower teeth and avoiding them to come in contact with your lips.

[6] To smoothen the lips a little before applying lip color, rub them a little with washcloth gently.

[7] Apply foundation on and around lips and then define the look of your lips using the lip liner.

[8] If you lips are naturally full and large, don't use the lip liner though you can soften the edge using a Q-tip and avoid glossy and shiny lip color.

[9] If you have thin lips, use light shades to make them appear fuller. Define the lip using the neutral lip pencil from slightly beyond your natural lip line and then apply lipstick covering up lip defining line. Another trick is to apply white shadow on center of both lips over lipstick very lightly and spread it gently.

[10] If your upper lip is too thin or does not have a good shape, outline it with the lip liner similar to your lipstick and in the center portion, draw a second line giving it the precise shape using a brown pencil. Apply color including the brown line. This will make your lips look fuller.

[11] To hide lip lines, apply lipstick vertically.
