The rules of wedding makeup
The difficulty of wedding makeup is thatthat here, figuratively speaking, you need to kill several birds with one stone. Makeup should please the eye both in daylight and in the evening, and also look advantageous under the lens of a camera with a flash. All these types of makeup require the implementation of certain rules, which sometimes contradict each other. And in order to find a compromise solution, you need to be a real master of your craft, who knows the subtlest nuances and knows how to manage them. Let's start at least with cosmetics. For wedding makeup, professional products are preferable. Only then can you be sure that tears of joy will not make mascara flow and eyeshadow will not smear, and the tone will not "float" from the heat and friendly kisses of guests and relatives. In short, if you are going to do your wedding makeup yourself (we are not talking about style yet), then get ready to spend money on a full set of professional cosmetics, stock up on rhinestones and special paints if you are planning an extravagant visage. But if you have even the slightest doubt in your abilities, and you don’t want to spend money on something that will hardly be in demand later, then it’s better not to take risks and turn to a professional makeup artist. In order for your makeup to look great at any time of day, it needs to be a little brighter than daytime makeup, but less flashy than evening makeup. That is, you need to keep the golden mean. The bride’s daytime look is easy enough to correct: apply lip gloss in the morning, and lipstick in a richer shade in the evening, and at the same time make the contours of the eyes a little clearer or add mascara to the eyelashes. This technique of wedding makeup will allow you to look dignified both at the daytime and evening celebration. According to the rules of wedding makeup, it is necessary that it harmonizes not only with the color of the bride’s outfit and accessories, but also with the groom’s outfit. If the wedding dress uses not traditional white, but brighter tones, then the makeup should also include a carefully thought-out color palette of decorative cosmetics, which will contain all the necessary colors and shades. A young bride has always served as a symbol of innocence and tenderness, so it is worth excluding flashy tones - too bright bridal makeup hurts the eye. A gentle image should radiate light and purity. But it is important not to go to the other extreme. Bridal makeup should not be done in one color scheme. There are a lot of pastel shades, and a skilled makeup artist must choose the right tones, based on the color of the bride's eyes and hair, skin tone, dress color, accessories and even the season. Agree, dark foundation imitating a tan will seem inappropriate in winter, in turn, too pale skin will not look natural in summer either. Nowadays, fashionable makeup with glitter, rhinestones and even with elements of a pattern has become common. But a tribute to fashion is unlikely to undermine centuries-old wedding traditions. Focusing on classic examples of wedding makeup, you will be able to create a unique gentle image and give yourself and those around you real joy.
In the Greek hall, in the Greek style ...
A wedding is undoubtedly a significant event thatI would like to note it in such a way that it will be remembered by both the heroes of the occasion and the guests. Thematic weddings are very popular at the moment. The scenario of the entire celebration is built in accordance with the stated theme, the hall is decorated, the tables are set. It goes without saying that the outfits of the newlyweds and the wedding makeup should also fit into the general theme and style of the holiday. In short, if you decide to celebrate a wedding in the Greek style, for example, then it is also advisable to use Greek motifs in the bride's makeup. By the way, makeup in the Greek style looks very beautiful, natural and will suit girls of all types of appearance. Distinctive features of such makeup are a bronze-golden skin tone, shadows in a soft beige-sand range, a clear eyebrow line, an emphasis on the eyes (accordingly, we do not highlight the lips). Natural shades of lipstick are ideal. Add to this an elegant dress reminiscent of an ancient Greek tunic, and we will get an absolutely harmonious image. It must be said that makeup in the Greek style allows you to use options and interpretations. It so happened historically that the culture of Ancient Hellas influenced other civilizations at all times. The first to imitate the Hellenes were the Romans, who, naturally, brought their vision and their accents to clothes, hairstyles, and makeup. Their version of Greek-style makeup is very relevant today. Wedding makeup for the bride in this style (using a lighter foundation powder, bluish or light green shadows, smoky, brownish tones for drawing eyebrows and eyeliner) looks great on blondes and brown-haired women with fair skin. Another great civilization, Egypt during the time of Queen Cleopatra, did not remain indifferent to the ancient Greek aesthetics. Greek-style makeup options as interpreted by Egyptians of that time are also actively used by makeup artists today. They can be quite appropriate in wedding makeup. The main focus is on the eyes - shadows, pronounced arrows, creating an unforgettable image inspired by famous Egyptian paintings. A brunette with such makeup will be irresistible.
