Bridal Makeup

I believe that choosing the look of you wedding day makeup is as choosing your gown. Yet so many women spend months looking for the perfect dress and thirty seconds deciding on the makeup look for the makeup look for their special day. Your look will be captured in photos forever, so it's important to put your best face with no mistakes. Remember after all, you are the very center of attention on your wedding day.

The morning bride
* Though a matte foundation is always perfect for photograps, a morning bride can choose to wear a foundation with a slight sheen or dewiness to it, because the light is si soft.

* Go light on the powder so your face retains its natural appearance. You want your skin to appear matte, but it does not take a lot of powder to achieve this. Remember heavy powder can appear artificial, especially in the morning light.

* Do not make bold eyeshadow color choices for your eyes if you are having a morning wedding. Choose warmer and soft shades.

* Make sure to define your eyes really well at the lashline to help them stand out.

* If you choose to wear eyeliner make sure to keep it subtle and soft. You do not want anything too dark or too harsh at this time of day.

* Lip color should always be soft and natural nothing too bold at this time of day. Remember if it is too bold, it will be all you see in the photos.

* Everything will photograph darker than it appears to the eye, because the ligth is so soft, so go with softer shade choices.
