All brides have different styles and tastes when it comes to how they want to look on their wedding day. While some choose a heavier dramatic look, others prefer a lightweight, natural glow. Either way, you want to make sure your make up accentuates and enhances your features, capturing the bridal look you’ve always imagined. If you’re wondering what to do makeup-wise, consider a few of these tips to make sure your wedding glam turns out picture-perfect.

Prep and Prime

It’s safe to say that your wedding day is likely the most photographed day of your life. You want your make up to last, and you want it to highlight your elegant bridal beauty, so your base is really important. Keep in mind, you don’t need to cake it on for it to show up well in photographs, but you may want to be a little more generous when applying than you usually are. Prep the night before with your favorite exfoliator to even out the texture of your skin. On the big day, try Alayne Curtiss Bridal Beauty’s lightweight Perfectly Pink Poreless Primer, and set your base with a sheer luminous foundation and a light dewy setting spray. 

Use That Contour Palette (Wisely)

Contouring is a controversial topic in the bridal makeup universe. When done correctly, it can really define and accentuate different areas of your face and bone structure, especially when you add a little highlight or blush to the right places. The key to a good contour is blending. While you still want to define specific features, you want to make sure you’re avoiding seeing any harsh contour lines in your photos. The same holds true for your highlight. Using highlighter with flash photography can be a little tricky, so it’s best to remember that a little goes a long way. Whether you want to use a cream, liquid, or powder is a personal preference. But, when it’s done correctly, it should give you a defined, yet still natural look (with a little extra glow.).
