That a wedding celebration takes a loteffort and finances, any bride who is busy preparing for the most important day of her life knows. And, unfortunately, not every girl has an extra two or three thousand for a makeup artist, who, moreover, can do makeup that does not match her hairstyle or dress. Who knows better what suits you better than yourself?

Step one: prepare for makeup in advance

Some representatives of the fair sexsix months before the appointed date, they start visiting beauty salons weekly, leaving almost their entire salary there. But to look your best, you don’t have to go to extreme measures, you just need to start taking care of yourself.

• Diet

Do you want your skin to sparkle and not have any marks on it?not a single pimple or other defects? Then two or three weeks before the appointed date, go on a diet: exclude fatty, fried, smoked, spicy, salty, sweet and sour foods from your diet, and also give up alcohol and tobacco. During this time, the body will have time to cleanse itself of toxins and harmful substances that negatively affect the condition of the epidermis.

• Masks

Don't forget to do a cleansing twice a week.or a moisturizing mask to get rid of dirt in the pores. Be sure to visit a cosmetologist at least once, who will select a wellness program for you facial cleansing. In no case should you skimp on cosmetic products, since any imperfections, be it pimples, acne or oily shine, are quite clearly visible on camera. On the eve of the wedding, do not do any excrement to your skin, since irritation and redness will not go away overnight, and you will have to cover up all the imperfections with a thick layer of foundation and powder. Leave untested facial cream or toner for later, when you can sit at home for a couple of days. Also, three weeks before the wedding, you should refuse chemical cleaning and peeling, since you may get even more breakouts.

• Cosmetics

Do your own wedding makeup with the help ofMascara, lipstick and eyeshadow that you have had for two years is the same as wearing an old white sarafan that you have been wearing all summer (maybe even more than one season) instead of a wedding dress. It is ugly, cheap, plus it can go bad at any moment. First, make a list of what you will definitely need that day: foundation, powder, eyeshadow, lip pencil, eyeliner, lipstick, gloss, etc. Having bought this or that cosmetic, be sure to experiment with it so that on the last day you do not have to run for lipstick that is “like this one, only a little lighter”. In addition, there is a risk of an allergic reaction, especially if you have not previously worn much makeup or preferred other brands. Also, do not forget about the tools with which all this will be applied: brushes, cotton pads, sticks and many other little things. They are not cheap, but without them, the makeup will look gaudy and funny. It is unlikely that you will be able to properly blend shadows with your finger or a regular brush, which is only designed to apply powder.

Step Two: make wedding makeup

• Cleanse the face

So, as soon as you wake up, immediatelyWash your face with cold water, lightly pat your skin dry with a terry towel to avoid any marks, wipe your face with toner, then apply cream. Allow at least twenty to thirty minutes for everything to soak in, after which you can begin applying makeup. Remember that any cosmetics you use to treat your skin should not contain alcohol or other aggressive substances, otherwise irritation may occur.

• We lay the foundation

The first thing you need to do is mask everything.imperfections that can appear due to anxiety. Dark circles under the eyes (evidence of a sleepless night or a great hen party), pimples, acne - all this can be easily hidden under a thin layer of foundation. If the skin is dry, it is best to apply the foundation with a sponge, if oily - with a brush. Too large pimples should first be covered with a special product (for example, a thin pencil), which is slightly lighter than the foundation, and only then can you apply the foundation. But make sure that everything dries well, otherwise you will simply smear the makeup, which will make you completely blotchy. Now you can go over it with powder, the color of which matches the shade of the foundation. If you don’t like something or your face resembles a mask, wash off the makeup and start the procedure again. Those who have never dealt with this before should hone their skills the day before. Remember that the tone of the foundation should not differ from the skin tone, otherwise the bride's face will look unnatural, and some parts of the body (décolleté, neck, hands) will also have to be covered in this case. And the wedding dress in places where it will come into contact with the cream will acquire a slightly yellowish tint.

• Bring your eyebrows in order

Two days before the wedding, you should pluck your eyebrows,to give them the right shape, while avoiding severe irritation. But do not try to change your image radically, leaving thin stripes above the eyes or getting a tattoo, since in this case you will have to completely change your makeup. If necessary, paint your eyebrows with a special paint, which is sold in any professional cosmetics store. Do not forget to outline everything with a pencil to emphasize the graceful curve, but do not overdo it, so as not to look too severe.

• Beautiful eyes

If the wedding is not themed (rocker,stylish), then the ideal option would be a gentle and not too bright make-up that will highlight beautiful eyes, but at the same time will not add excessive vulgarity. First, using a pencil or eyeliner, make small arrows, then apply shadows: lighter ones in the corners, darker ones at the edges. The color palette depends on many factors: the color of the eyes, hair, skin, outfit. The only nuance that should be remembered is that shiny cosmetics spoil the photos. Lastly, carefully apply mascara, which must be waterproof, since the happy bride will find it difficult to hold back tears of joy at some moments. And it is unlikely that the girl will want to run to the ladies' room with napkins every five minutes to correct spoiled makeup. Remember that the mascara should be applied evenly, neatly, there should be no lumps, stuck together eyelashes. If on an ordinary day this is forgivable, then on a holiday, when a videographer and photographer are working with you, such a mistake is unacceptable. To avoid this, use a special brush for combing. The direction of the brush when coloring is from the roots to the tips.

• Underline the lips

A win-win option that always looks goodspectacular – this is a lipstick that is a little darker than your lips. Be sure to outline the contour with a pencil so that the sexiest part of a woman’s face looks more lush and neat. As for the gloss, you should be careful here, as the glare on the camera will not look very good. In order for the lipstick to stay on as long as possible, first lightly powder your lips, and at the end, be sure to blot them with a napkin.

• Blush

The final touch of wedding makeup isapplying blush. As in any other case, here you should also show a sense of proportion, so as not to look like the young ladies who painted their cheeks with beets several centuries ago. You can do without this element, but then your face may be too pale, uniform, like a mask. To apply blush correctly, just stand in front of the mirror, stretch your lips into a tube, then go over your cheekbones several times with a special brush. This way, you will add volume, which is so lacking after foundation, thanks to which you will look natural in photographs, not flat.

Basic nuances of wedding makeup

If the wedding celebration is planned for a warm daytime of year, be prepared to occasionally touch up your smudged mascara, as even the most durable and expensive cosmetics will not withstand the effects of sunlight and sweat. Creams and foundations should not be greasy, otherwise you will feel the first signs of ruined makeup before you even leave the house. Don't forget to take a small kit with you, which will definitely contain lipstick, powder and wet wipes. You can put the cosmetic bag either in your small handbag or in the clutch of your bridesmaid, so that you can quickly refresh your face if necessary. If the girl plans to wash off her daytime makeup after the photo shoot and painting in order to apply a brighter evening one, you need to think about where and how she will do it. In this case, she will need a makeup remover, cotton pads, and a small towel so as not to stain her wedding dress during the procedure.
