What are the secrets to long-lasting bridal makeup that looks flawless all day—without hiring a professional?
Your best friend will be primer, which preps your skin for a light foundation that evens out the complexion and hides imperfections. You can apply foundation with a brush, sponge, or your fingers—just remember to blend it well around the nose, ears, and neck.
Once your base is set, highlight your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose with a touch of blush for a radiant glow.
Always do your makeup in natural light—it’s the only way to avoid unpleasant surprises!
When you’re done with your base, focus on the eyes. Stick to natural shades and avoid smoky eyes unless you’re confident in your skills—otherwise, you risk a heavy or harsh look.
Your lip color should complement the rest of your makeup. If you have naturally full lips, feel free to go bold with a statement lipstick or choose a luminous gloss. But don’t overdo it—a bride’s makeup should look polished yet natural.
Before finishing, lightly mist your face with a setting spray to help the makeup last all day.
Keep a lipstick and pressed powder close at hand for touch-ups. Since you won’t be carrying a purse, entrust a friend or your mom with your essentials—you’ll definitely need them!
