Bridal make-up tips for a flawless look

Our first tip for beautiful bridal make-up is to choose a good bridal makeup artist in udaipur! A professional make-up artist knows exactly how to accentuate the strengths in your face and how to camouflage imperfections. A make-up artist also has all kinds of top quality products to ensure that your bridal look still looks flawless after the opening dance. So you can without a doubt leave your look to a professional. But if you still want to be informed about what a make -up artist does, you can view our bridal make-up tips here!  

 Smooth skin

The basis for an attractive face is smooth skin. Your make-up will stay on this much better. Unfortunately, not everyone is naturally blessed with baby-soft skin. So take extra care of it in the weeks before your wedding. You can do this by cleaning your skin every morning and evening and then using a moisturizing cream. Or treat yourself, grab the cucumber slices and take a face mask! Time for a little pampering! 

Grooming intensively

A scrub gives your skin a boost and removes dead skin cells, while a mask provides the skin with intense care. With such a lovely mask, you also have the choice between a stimulating or a calming variant. One thing is certain: your pores will undergo a real deep cleansing. Tip: Test the scrub and mask well before the wedding. Maybe your skin reacts very violently to one of the ingredients in the products. You don't want to risk walking around with a red face on the Big Day!  

Start with the basics

The basis of good make-up is to apply a foundation. This ensures that your skin becomes nice and smooth. Coarse pores and fine lines are also less visible. Most foundations nowadays contain SPF (protection factor). This ensures that your skin can breathe and that it does not lie on your face like a thick slab. And of course, it protects against the sun! It can be quite difficult to find the perfect shade of foundation for your skin tone. Fortunately, a makeup artist always has different colors of foundation with him. She can mix different types to find the perfect shade for you!

Camouflage

If you couldn't sleep well the night before the Big Day because of your nerves, it is nice to work away from the dark circles in the morning with a little concealer. And even if you did sleep well, you can ensure a fresh and beautiful look by applying a little bit of concealer under your eyes. In general, it is best to choose a color that is slightly lighter than your own skin tone. But the undertone of your skin color can also have a lot of influence on which concealer color is best to use. It is therefore always recommended to let your makeup artist help you with this.

Contours

Contouring is a trick that allows you to shape your face. You do this by darkening parts of your face, such as your cheeks and under your chin, and highlighting other parts. You apply the highlighter to the parts of the face that you want to stand out. Often these are the cheekbones, your nose bridge, and just below your eyebrows. A good tip is to emphasize the corners of your face that catch a lot of light with some highlighter. Contouring is really a profession in its own right and is, therefore, best done by a professional make-up artist!

Powder

Always apply a light powder to your face after your foundation. This not only ensures that your foundation stays beautiful longer but also stops the skin from shining. Especially when a lot of photos are taken, it is nice if your face is well powdered! Make sure your powder is not too light, otherwise you will soon be in the picture as Casper the Ghost. 

Color on your cheeks

Blush on your cheeks gives you a healthy flush. Choose a color that is not too strong, but go for a neutral shade such as soft pink or brown. Apply the blush to your cheekbones in half-circular motions. The blush will look most natural when applied from cheek to ear. A little bit of shine can be in your blush but beware of too much glitter because that is not beautiful in the photo.

 Eyebrows

A well-accentuated eyebrow shapes your face and makes your eyes speak extra. Have them epilated nicely at a beautician about a week in advance. Then you can color them a little with an eyebrow pencil to give them an even better shape. Finally, you can add more volume to the eyebrows with powder. For your eyebrows, choose a color that is close to your hair color or that is slightly darker to ensure that it looks natural.  

Eyes

You can make up your eyes in many different ways. From just a little mascara for a fresh look to a complete smokey eye. Don't you normally wear that much makeup? Then keep your eye make-up natural. If you also like to show off with make-up on other days, it is best to go for a more intense look at the wedding. A professional make-up artist knows exactly with which colors and products she can best make your eyes speak, so be sure to ask for advice!

Nails

When you're doing your bridal makeup it's easy to forget about your nails, but these are very important too! Of course, you want to show off your ring at your wedding, so well-groomed nails are a  must. Start with a nice, clean base and opt for nice nail polish. Here we would like to give you the same tip as with the eyes: if you don't normally wear nail polish, keep it natural. Don't you feel complete without bright nail polish? Go for it!

Finishing touch: the lips

Choosing a lipstick can be tricky, especially if you don't normally wear lipstick. Therefore, use at least a color that matches your skin tone well. Watch out for lipstick that is too dark as it can make you look pale. A good tip is to choose a color that is closest to your own lip color. Make sure that the lipstick is colorfast because your brand new hubby is probably not waiting to walk around The Kiss with red lips! 

Set your make-up

Waterproof mascara, 24-hr lipstick, and a good foundation are really the basics for beautiful bridal make-up. But nowadays many different brands also sell fixative sprays. These sprays ensure that your make-up lasts much longer! Even in the rain or during a crying shower (because let's be real, it will come), this spray ensures that your make-up does not go anywhere. Once you are completely done with your makeup, lightly spray the fixative spray over your face from about 20-30 centimeters. And voilà, no tears that can stand that! 

Test photo

When the makeup artist has finished applying your makeup, ask your wedding photographer to take a test photo. That way you can check if it looks the way you had in mind and if any adjustments are needed before putting on the wedding dress. When looking at the photos, pay particular attention to your foundation and that there is no color difference between your face and neck. Then look at the look of your eyes, the color of the lipstick, and, last but not least, that you don't shine too much! 

 A few more quick tips for your bridal makeup

As a bride, go for a trial make-up with your makeup artist in udaipur! This way you can try what your bridal look looks like and put the finishing touches on the Big Day. 

Use waterproof products as much as possible so that you can be sure that the make-up will survive any tears.

Always powder your face. This ensures that the make-up lasts longer, but also that you will not have a shiny head in the photos.

Use fresh and radiant colors. Don't be too crazy with your make-up on the wedding day, because you still have to recognize yourself in the wedding photos.
