How to Adapt Your Makeup for Your Wedding Day





Your every blush, smile and kiss will be recorded on film, so your bridal makeup needs to be picture perfect. It should cover any imperfections and highlight your features, while appearing subtle and pretty. Venue and event time play key roles; you'll want to adjust your makeup for day or evening and for indoor or outdoor lighting.





Steps:





1. Flip through bridal magazines and search for pictures that capture your ideal bridal look. Keep these pictures on hand for guidance.





2. Consider having your makeup done professionally. If you decide to do it yourself, have a free professional makeover before the wedding and ask for detailed instructions on how to achieve your desired look.





3. Choose the most lightweight foundation possible while still getting the coverage you need because heavier foundations will look more obvious.





4. Wear waterproof eye makeup so that tears of joy or the heat of summer don't make for streaks or smears.





5. Use various shades of shadow to add definition to your eyes, then add a hit of liner for drama. Resist the temptation to go for bold lines, bright colors or glitter, unless that's your usual look.





6. Curl lashes for length and definition but skip the false eyelashes. You don't want to risk having them peel off or rotate throughout the day.





7. Stick to a soft and delicate tone for lipstick, as bold or dark colors might be overpowering. Remember to match the hues in your blush to those in your lipstick.





8. Contour your face with blush or bronzer, even if it's not part of your daily routine. It will give your skin a healthy glow and subtly define your features.





Tips:





Pluck your eyebrows or have them waxed the day before your wedding. If you or a makeup artist play with them the morning of the wedding, they might appear red or blotchy in your pictures.





Consider a lipstick that has staying power. All those kisses and sips of Champagne will leave you little time to reapply.





Opt for a foundation that contains sunscreen if you plan to have an outdoor wedding.





Or go for the natural look. Make sure u do a mask 1 a week. Keep it mositurerized.

Apply Makeup to Achieve a Natural Look





This system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy.





Steps:





1. Understand that a 'natural' look is one that uses colors that are right for your skin tone. How much you use, and where, depends on your personal style.





2. Make sure your concealer is yellow in tone since it mutes imperfections without adding color, giving your skin a natural look.





3. Apply foundation that matches your skin tone. The right foundation will seem to disappear on your face. If you are African-American, it's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of your foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.





4. Apply eye makeup in earthy tones'beige, brown, gold or plum for shadows and brown and charcoal gray for liner and mascara. Skip liner or shadow entirely if you want to keep makeup light.





5. Choose a blush color that is close to the color of your cheeks after you've exercised.





Tips:





Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger, more made-up look.





Intensify your natural makeup for evening. Instead of brown, for example, go for charcoal around the eyes. 'Pop' blush with a brighter color over your usual one. Make lips brighter, darker or more shimmery.





Warnings:





Don't skimp on makeup tools. Better tools make applying makeup easier and faster.





Hope that helps.Makeup for a wedding?
Depending on the time of the wedding (I'm think it's not yours) make an appointment at a department store make-up counter (and it is usually free!)- if you feel confident even you can go the day before and have a good look around and experiment with colours. If I am wearing black I usually wear colourful make-up and as you say the dress has gold beading then gold maybe the way to go!





Anyway my favourite is Mac but just remember to leave yourself enough time so you don't have to rush around and sweat off the make-up before you make an appearance at the wedding
go to a make-up salon, they'll do it their way, and you'll get some really good tips from them.
