Hey beauties,
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your entire life; every bride wants to feel beautiful and confident walking down the aisle. Here are 5 bridal makeup tips to help you feel like the perfect version of yourself on your special day.
- Find a makeup artist that you trust!
- This is key to make sure the morning of your wedding goes smoothly and is stress free. Research makeup artists in your area and set up a bridal makeup trial with them. The bridal trial is where you get the chance to form a relationship with your artist, describe your vision to them, and get to see their work in person. It’s so important to trust your makeup artist; never be afraid to be honest and ask them to tweak something you’re unhappy with.
- Stay true to yourself
- Staying true to yourself is such an important factor when choosing your wedding day makeup look. The key to feeling confident when walking the aisle, starts with feeling confident in our own skin. I always recommend to my clients who don’t know what they want, start natural! It is so much easier to build drama, rather than take it away. I always want my clients walking away feeling like a more polished version of themselves. Do not feel as if you need to change just for your wedding day because these photos will last forever! You want to able to look back and be happy with the makeup look you chose.
- Waterproof Mascara
- Even if you’re not a cryer, it is always best to be on the safe side. Applying waterproof mascara is quick and easy but can be a total lifesaver.
- Glowy Skin and LASHES
- Less is more! Have the focus of your wedding day look be perfected, glowy skin and bold lashes. This is the ultimate natural glam; it will certainly be a step up from your everyday routine but will remain natural. This look is feminine and girly but is not over the top. My pro tip is to apply highlighter to the high points of the face, like the tops of the cheekbones and cupids bow. I always recommend brides to wear false lashes on their we

- Makeup setting spray!
- This will be your best friend on your wedding day! Setting spray does not only feel refreshing but it also does wonders for your makeup. Makeup setting spray locks in your makeup look and keeps it looking freshly applied. It also melts all the different layers of makeup together and gets rid of any powdery finish. This will be your golden ticket to accomplishing a dewy, glowy, and fresh look. Setting spray is an absolute must in my professional makeup kit.
That is all for now all my beautiful brides! Hope this helps ease the stress of choosing a makeup look for your wedding day! Make sure to comment and check out all the product information down below!
