The big day is approaching and you want to look stunning, do you know how to get the look that will leave everyone impressed?
The makeup you choose for the photo session will be reflected in the images that will serve as a memory for a lifetime. Whether in the bridal photo session or in the wedding session, your choices should be natural but that highlight your best features.
But… first let’s talk about where you should start.
Tip 1: Choose makeup
There is no other person in the world who knows what you want than “yourself.” Look for examples of makeup that you like and that show a clearer idea of what you want; You will be able to get a somewhat extensive list of images, but we advise you to reduce it to 3. Take into account the time of the bridal or wedding session; also the weather.
We know that you want the camera lens to capture the best version of you, but it is not necessary to abuse makeup to obtain that result. Simple makeup that reflects your personality and style will allow you to feel beautiful and comfortable at the same time.
From here you can start.
Tip 2: Who will do your makeup?
Specialists suggest that the bride go to a professional to have her makeup done, as special techniques and products are used to make the look long-lasting. However, we suggest that if you go to a professional, remember that you should feel comfortable and free to express what you like and what you don’t. Don’t be intimidated, a true professional, starting from your idea, will know how to advise you, combine your tastes and style with what really suits you perfectly.
Tip 3: Makeup test
Whether you decide to go to a professional or do it yourself, a prior test will make you feel more confident. Here you will narrow down your options and have the opportunity to choose the ultimate look.
Tip 4: For the photos
In other writings, a lot of reference is made to makeup products, suitable for your skin type and tone, and this is the basis of everything.
- Take care of your skin, good makeup stands out more if your skin is properly cared for. We’re not just talking about moisturizing with creams or using toner (although this is part of skin preparation, before makeup), try to make room in your schedule to do a basic facial treatment. Your skin will thank you.
- First, it is extremely important, with it you will help hide pores, expression lines, control excess oil, among others. There is one for each type of need.
- Foundation and makeup powder, the foundation you use should be “your own skin tone.” Try to avoid products with bright shades so that at the time of the photos they are not confused with excess oil and shine on the skin. Opt for matte products. Use lighting in areas that really require it.
- Eyebrows can make a big difference in framing the face and defining the face.
- Contour, this defines the features, cheekbones, nose and jowls, helps sculpt the face making you stand out with each click.
- Shadows and liner, choosing shadows in neutral tones is the most recommended, but no matter what you decide, it is essential to blend. Likewise, well-defined eyes will be the point in your favor to highlight your look.
- Lips, remember to outline your lips with the same shade of lipstick, this will define the edges and perfect the shape of your mouth.
You will be ready to look beautiful!
