Makeup Mistakes You Should Avoid On Your Wedding Day
Your wedding day can be one of the most exciting days of your life, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to nail down all the details, especially when it comes to makeup and hairstyling. One of the things that every bride-to-be tends to put on the backburner is their hair and makeup, hoping that it’d turn out just fine on the big day. It’s your big day; you should be radiating with confidence. Yet, if you don’t pay attention to wedding makeup, you might end up looking tired, faded, and washed out — not exactly how you want to look on the happiest day of your life!
Here are some mistakes you should avoid making on your big day, so you look and feel your best.
Being Clueless About the Kind of Makeup Look You Want
Let's face it, between food tastings, dress fittings, and coordinating with your wedding party, you'll be very busy and probably won’t find the time to visualize the makeup look you want on your wedding day. But, there should be no room for trial and error on your D-day. This is why it is crucial to do your research ahead of time, talk to your professional makeup artist, and start thinking about your makeup early on—perhaps right after you lock down your dress.
Taking control early on gives your artist more time for planning and better accuracy during execution. As with all things wedding planning, preparation pays off big when it comes to executing an ideal makeup look on your big day.
Not Paying Attention to Your Skincare
Skincare is the real foundation for flawless makeup. If you want your makeup to look natural and dewy instead of dry or cakey, don’t skip out on skincare. For healthy skin with a smooth, even texture that makes the perfect canvas for makeup application, skincare is key. Take the time to do a thorough skin-cleansing routine in the morning, and always use non-irritating products.
Skimping on the Trial Run With Your Makeup Artist
When booking a makeup artist for your wedding day, make sure you schedule a trial run with them. That way, you can ensure that you and your artist are on the same page about what look you’re going for. You can also go over different looks and pick the one that works for both of you. This will help you avoid any last-minute surprises such as spur-of-the-moment smoky eye when what you wanted was a more subtle look.
Getting Your First Spray Tan a Day Before Your Wedding
Many brides choose to get a spray tan the day before their wedding to get that warm glow for their big day. What most of them don't realize is that getting a spray tan the day before your wedding is not the best idea for two reasons: 1) you don't want to have to deal with the aftermath of a botched job, and 2) you're adding extra time to an already packed schedule.
Between trying to pick out the perfect dress, shoes, and accessories to getting your wedding makeup and hairstyle just right, there’s so much to think about that sometimes it can get slightly overwhelming. However, with these tips, you can dodge the potential hitches that you might encounter on your big day.
