How to Do Your Wedding Makeup
Having
trouble deciding on the style of your wedding makeup? You’re The Bride is on
the way! We have narrowed down the top three wedding looks that brides want on
their big day. Depending on how much makeup you normally wear it is best to
stay within that look. For example, if you never wear makeup choose a look that
just enhances your natural beauty without making you look fake, or if you tend
to go all out every day stick with it! Your guests may not realize it’s you if
you opt out of your normal look.
At the top of our list is the ever
famous smoky eye. Brides are making their eyes the main focus with this intense
makeup. Because the smoky eye never goes out of style it is sure to be a winner
every time. Remember to keep the rest of your makeup light, neutral lips and
light blush will really make this look stand out.

Step 1: start with applying the
middle/lighter shade of the pallet to the entire eye. Then use a dark eyeliner
or just use the darkest color in your pallet on the upper and lower eyelid. Also
use this color on the outer edges of your eye and blend with lighter color.

pallet put a dab in the tear duct and along the underneath of your brow. This
will highlight and brighten your eyes.

The second most popular look is big
lips. Color is really coming back for 2013 and big lips are a perfect way to
show them off. If you have smaller lips and want them to look fuller and bigger
this is the perfect look for you! Remember that you should always concentrate
on one feature and leave the rest to a natural look. This will make it look
glam, not gaudy.

Step 1: begin tracing the outline of your
lip (in matching color of lipstick) with lip liner pencil. Begin at the center
of your pout and go outwards. A great tip is to actually fill in your lips with
the liner pencil because it acts as a great base coat for the lipstick!

Step 2: apply your favorite lipstick shade
starting at the center of your lips and follow its natural shape. To avoid over
covering your lips and making them sticky, use your finger to blend the
lipstick and liner together to create your perfect look.

For fair skinned women try pinks, naturals, beiges, corals, and roses. Medium
tone skin are best in plum, mauve, and berry! Dark skinned women are most
exquisite in plum, brown, or a deep red. (for a free and easy way to determine
what looks good on you the makeup counters at any mall or store are a great way
to see what fits you!)

Our final look for brides to be is the

natural features you already have, but the cat eye takes that look to the next
level and adds a sex appeal you never knew you had!

Keep in mind that hiring a professional
on your big day is always your best bet to ensure you are getting the exact
look you want. However, if you want to do your own be sure to practice your
look at least a week before the wedding to guarantee you like the way you do
it.
