Tips For Your Wedding Makeup And Look

Every bride wants to look perfect on their big day, but you know that you don’t have all the time in the world to experiment with different makeups and hairstyles. You likely have seen thousands of makeup and hairstyle combinations for brides on the internet, and choosing one seems a bit daunting.

Thankfully, here are some basic elements for your wedding day hair and makeup for you to consider and why you will not regret going with one of more of these beautiful bridal trends.

Tips for Your Wedding Makeup and Look

Hair combs

Hair combs are used as accessories to compliment hairstyles and give them a more finished and/or unique look. Hair combs for brides are crafted to look like diamond, crystal, pearl, or another valuable element. Hair combs can either be just for cosmetic purposes, to keep a certain hairstyle intact, or to be included with a bridal veil.

Hair combs come in many different shapes, but the two most popular are vines and S-curves. If you are looking for just the thing to make your hair look amazing, consider a simple decoration like a hair comb.

Classic makeup

Rather than going for more pronounced makeup that is sure to make you look striking for your big day, consider timeless, classic makeup that will guarantee to make you look beautiful with the risk. Products such as subtle and gentle eyelashes and bold lipstick are all you really need to look good as well as feel good.

A wedding day is a long day where you will meet dozens of family members and have numerous photos taken of you, so consider a classic makeup; it is called “classic” for a reason.

Lip gloss

Many women are conditioned to believe that old-fashioned lipstick is the only choice they have for an appearance that is perfect for the photo album. However, there are many cases in which going with a lip gloss is the better decision. Firstly, gloss is much better for kissing, and when it is time to kiss your groom, you definitely do not want that lipstick to smear. Lip gloss also looks more natural than lipstick. If you are going with natural makeup, makes sense to also go with lip gloss rather than matte lipstick. Furthermore, if you go with a lipstick, one bad move of your mouth can stain your teeth. You certainly do not want to end up noticing red or pink marks on your teeth in all of your pictures.

Choosing Prom Makeup for Sensitive Skin

With prom night just around the corner, young women across the country are gearing up for a night of fantasy and fun. Of course, you want everything to be perfect. You have the dress. Your accessories are styled. You’ve even experimented with some updos. Now it’s time to choose your prom makeup.

Choosing Prom Makeup for Sensitive Skin

Pick The Right Brand

Brand plays a big role if you have sensitive skin. Even if you don’t normally wear much makeup, prom is a night where you may want to try a little more. Between new blushes or eye shadows, you can have a lot of fun with prom makeup, but just take a few steps to ensure it won’t result in a breakout or allergic reaction.

Look For Keywords

Like your regular, everyday makeup, opt for something that’s hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and contains soothing ingredients. Creamy foundations and blushes tend to provide more hydration and will keep regularly dry skin from flaking during the big dance.

Research A Product’s Reputation

While prom night may be a great time for experimenting with a new makeup look, don’t go totally rogue when picking your products. Try to stick with the same brand you usually use, since you know how your skin will react to it. If you need to branch out, then do some research to find makeup products that scored high reviews from others with sensitive skin.

Try The Skin Test

If you find a new brand in a color or style you love, be sure to test the product out before you apply it to your face. You don’t want to risk breaking out into hives right before your big night. Apply a small amount of product to an inconspicuous spot on your hand, arm or neck and wait between 24 to 48 hours to see if there is any reaction. If not, you’re in the clear!

Have Fun With Colors

When picking a color, get something that complements your skin tone and matches your dress. Keep in mind that your makeup and outfit don’t need to be the same color. You can find different hues that pair well together, like navy and silver, pink and green or red and black.

Once you find prom makeup products that your skin loves, it’s time to have fun! Look for prom makeup inspiration in magazines and movies, or scour Pinterest and YouTube for some tutorials. Or have a professional help you decide on and apply your prom night makeup.

Now get ready to rock your prom night!
