The Perfect Bridal Makeup for Your Wedding Day

It's important that your makeup look its absolute best for your wedding day. Whether you plan to marry on a beach at noon or at night under the stars, by keep your makeup simple you will look and feel great. You don't want to much, nor too little, a natural look is very important. This is not the time to be experimenting with new looks. Your makeup should enhance your beauty not hide it. Here are some tips to help with you achieve your pefect bridal makeup:

• If you are having a facial done, make sure it is at least two weeks prior to your wedding.
• If your skin is prone to breakouts, see your dermatologist 3 or 4 months before your wedding
• Staying hydrated is important to keeping you looking refreshed. Drinking lots of water will also flush out impurities from the skin.
• Eyebrows should be shaped 5-7 days before the wedding. Be sure not to pluck on your wedding day because you could land up with unattractive red bumps that are difficult to cover.
• On your wedding day blend your makeup well and let set. You do not need extra makeup to please the camera - that's a myth.
• Choose a lipstick that lasts. Apply just prior to walking down the isle. Go easy on the lip liner. Be sure to check that you don't have lipstick on your teeth.
• Line and fill mouth with a neutral pencil to make lipstick stay on longer.
• To lengthen wearing time of your lipstick, apply a light layer of powder over your lipstick then apply another layer of lipstick
• If you are doing your own makeup, see a beauty consultant and purchase your make up at least 3 months in advance. Then practice until you've got the perfect makeup.
• Waterproof mascara is a great idea just incase you get a little weepy.
• A very light application of facial powder will set your makeup and reduce
• Keep your powder, mascara, and lipstick in your purse so you can freshen up at a moments notice.
• If you discover that dreaded pimple on your wedding day, do not squeeze it! Just apply a drop of visene to get the red out, cover with concealer, and apply foundation.
• Wear a button shirt when applying your makeup so you don't mess up your makeup. When slipping into your gown put a towel over your face so you don't get makeup on your wedding dress.
• Avoid glittery or dewy looks - these are not very receptive for photographs and you may come out looking greasy
• If your wedding is outside be sure to apply sunscreen first
• Water based foundation looks most natural in photos
• For eye contouring, apply a dark but neutral in the crease of the eye. You can line the upper and lower lids (optional) with brown or grey shadow, smudging the outer corners
• If you need to make your eyes look wider or brighter, use a white pencil to line the inside of the lower lids.
• Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day.
• Make certain your wedding photographer is "not" using grainy film, because no matter how good your makeup is, with grainy film it will not look good
• Make sure your wedding photographer is using high quality film so your photos do your wedding makeup justice
• For your makeup to look good in your photos, it must be completely matte and in neutral tones, brides usually prefer a little color. Pastels look soft and pretty, but avoid glitter, shimmer and frosted eyeshadows.
• Shine is the #1 enemy for photos.
• Don't apply white or black eye shadow
• Olive complexions should not use gray shades
• Pale complexions should not use vibrant colors.

Your Perfect Make-Up at 60 - The Essentials

Perfect make-up used to be easy and fun didn't it? Are there just too many complications now? Uneven skin texture and tone, crepe-y lids, darkness below your eyes. If you are dissatisfied with your make-up read on...

The cosmetic industry is spending millions on developing make-up products designed exclusively for women of 50 and 60+. They have thought of everything. There are lighter than air foundations with more coverage, finely milled, solid eye shadows that won't form creases, creamier lipsticks containing skin care and plumping agents.

The cosmetic companies have done their homework but have we?

Your Perfect Make-Up at 60 - The Essentials

We all want to look our best every day and especially on occasions when the limelight is on us. Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and big nights out. We need to learn some basic make-up techniques to achieve a natural looking daytime make-up that minimises imperfections and a couple of magic spells to crank up the glam factor for evenings. At 20 or 30 we didn't need these techniques for a perfect make-up, we just whisked a pretty shadow across a soft, even eye lid and traced a lipstick over moist lips. Want to know how to do it today?

First we need to put your make-up in the best light.

• My most essential piece of equipment is a 10x magnifying mirror with suction pads that I stick on the window. Good eyesight or not, the day light allows you to see every eyelash and brow hair and blend colours to perfection. No more guess work.

Next choose the best anti aging cosmetic products.

• A Primer to improve skin texture and even out tiny wrinkles and smooth drier areas.
• Anti aging foundation in a mousse or liquid chosen to best suit your skin and coverage needs.
• Concealer comes in various shades and we can learn to combine them to totally erase any darkness.
• Solid eye shadows that are easy to apply without getting colour under the eyes. These in a variety of the softest shades with a dark chocolate or aubergine to accentuate the eyes at night.
• Lengthening and thickening mascara with no filaments to darken the under eye later in the day.
• Brow powder or pencil, sharp and in a shade that melts into your eyebrow colour.
• Anti aging lipstick in soft complimentary colours avoiding shades that make your teeth look yellow.
• Blusher to add freshness and contour. Probably the make-up category surrounded by the most confusion.

The bottom line is we need to learn how to achieve the perfect make-up using the right tools to apply these fantastic make-up products. But where? You can always ask the beautifully made-up girl at the beauty counter, but let's face it, who wants to do that? There are some excellent books and there are online beauty courses and beauty guides. The time invested will increase your confidence and show you how to work the magic of make-up. It is possible to cover and minimise imperfections, highlight your best features and achieve a soft natural looking make-up at the same time.

Put your make-up on in the best light. Learn how to use the right tools and choose the best products. Invest a little time and show the world a confident, younger looking you!
