Good and dazzling attire and sparkling jewellery aren't enough to give you that ravishing appearance. You need to couple it with the right make-up. A perfect look that will accentuate your wedding saree or lehenga to the hilt. But that doesn't mean you cover your face with every branded cosmetic available. You need to understand what suits you right. Here are a few tips for you to get the make-up that enhances your beauty.
It is very essential to choose the kind of make up you want. Be it glamorous, subtle or chic, you need to try out the styles beforehand to fix on a type. It is advisable to try them out a few weeks prior to the date. Avoid overdoing it. You should also blend your make-up according to your wedding dress. If it's heavy, prefer light makeup with undertones at certain low areas. Get a make-up that compliments your wedding dress and not belie it.
You need good complexion to manifest the effects of a beautifully done make-up. But it's difficult to have the desired complexion overnight. You need to take care of your skin and complexion a few weeks prior to the ceremony. Try to follow a complete skin care regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing everyday. Use of special face and skin packs are also advisable, as that will keep the skin fresh, spick and span. On the day of your wedding, apply moisturizer a few minutes before wearing the make-up.
Not everyone is spotless but that doesn't mean such brides can't look flawless. Due to our irregular work schedule and stress pertaining to our hectic life, most of us acquire certain facial marks like spots and dark circles. If applied properly, a perfect concealer can become a boon. Again, it’s advisable not to overdo it otherwise it gets a patched up appearance. Concealer should match your skin tone to some extent so that it doesn't give an artificial look.
Light application of foundation dabbed with face powder helps to form a firm base. It also prevents sweating. To light up your eyes, you might opt for eye prim techniques. Alternatively, you can use an eye shadow for the top of your eyelids and dab a bit of powder on your eyelashes to get the lush effect. Apply a single line of kajal along the rim of your eyes to heighten the shape of your eyes. Black or white mascara will complete your eye make-up. Don't forget to apply foundation in all the exposed areas of the body apart from face.
Lips need also to look luscious and soft. Apply a layer of lip balm to moist it. Line the brim of the lips with a lip liner of color that you think suits you good and also goes with the make-up. Use a matte effect lipstick and smear it with a gloss. This will help the lipstick to stay longer.
