Makeup Tips for Your Wedding Day

It goes without saying that every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day and that includes how polished she looks with her makeup. Because of the staggering costs of weddings, many brides are now taking advantage of cheap makeup deals to save a bit of money without sacrificing the way their makeup looks.

Just because you saved money by purchasing cheap cosmetics, it doesn’t mean that you can’t look completely polished when that special day arrives. Here are a few application tips to get the most out of discount makeup for your wedding day:

• Apply makeup more heavily than usual to cater to wedding photos.
• Get your skin ready before you start applying makeup with a primer.
• Don’t use your fingers, and, instead, spread foundation using a sponge or a brush.
• After you’ve applied your foundation, you can then use concealer.
• Don’t be afraid to use different shades of concealers to specifically target dark areas, such as under your eyes, or to cover up blemishes.
• Use primer before your eyeshadow to make sure your look is smudge-free.
• Smile in order to know exactly where to apply your blush.
• Try an eyebrow pencil to smooth out the look.
• Apply shimmer powder to the corners of your eyes for a more awake look.
• Fake eyelashes may be more effective than curling and mascara.
• Always use waterproof makeup to protect against tears or rain.
• Think about the climate of your wedding, especially if it’s outside.
• Tan or use bronzer at least 2-3 days before the wedding day.
