Wedding venue chosen…done. Florist hired…done. Dress picked…done. Photographer found…done. 10 years later, you decide to take a trip down memory lane and revisit your wedding memories found in your wedding album. Looking at the frizzy hair, untamed brows, bright…almost too bright of a lipstick and matching blush as the soundtrack of Mike Myers “Halloween” theme song plays in your head. “Eeeek” you say? Well, there’s only one way to avoid the thought of never wanting to crack open and share that once special event in your life. After all, it is your wedding. Hire a professional Hair and Makeup Artist.
This sometimes is one of the last “must-do’s” in a future bride’s list, but definitely a “must-have.” Remember, this is your day and ALL eyes will not just be on the bright white roses and tulips, they will be on you. If you can hire a florist to make your ceremony and reception beautiful, then you should definitely invest in someone who can accentuate your features through proper contouring and highlighting. It should also be someone who is color knowledgeable and understands that the pictures on an album should captivate the true essence of a bride to make it truly timeless in its own.
A properly trained Makeup Artist understands the right color combination and how to apply makeup in a way that will bring out the best in every bride. Makeup is not just about covering up a flaw or blemish and putting on whatever colors match the color scheme. Certain color variations either complements or distracts from the overall goal and if the incorrect color usage is applied, the power makeup can deliver will not have as high of an impact as expected. For those who are more a DIY type, be sure to always start on a clean and well exfoliated face without sunblock. Sunblocks contain certain formulas that are not photo friendly. Try using unscented mositurizers such as cetaphil or dermalogica which works well for all skin types. Color match your foundation to your decolete and not your face or neck this will keep you from looking like your head is floating above the rest of your body. Be sure to contour and highlight in places to achieve the perfect oval face. Choosing the right eyeshadow should bring out the color of your eyes: browns-plums and cool browns, blues-earth tone colors are best along with some slight purples and rose pinks, green-hazels-different variations of purples are great and even those with a slight orange hint will make them pop. Your cheek blushes should be around the same color as the one’s you achieve after a good long workout to make it look more youthful and natural. The desired lip color can vary from pale neutral to pinup reds and it all depends on the look you want to achieve. Just make sure to not alienate them during your exfoliating sessions.
