Wedding makeup trends have not changed much in a number of years. Regardless of the current fashion trends, wedding makeup remains, simple, natural, and beautiful.
Using Bobbi Brown Bridal Face Palette ( see the link at the end of the article to see it.) you can create the popular makeup look like the one worn by Avril Levinge on her wedding day. www.instyleweddings.com
This is a budget top-notch wedding makeup look you can create it your own. Start with a clean face. If you are using mineral make up put a dusting of the mineral veil as a primer, especially if your skin is oily. Apply your foundation, making sure to gather your ears and neck. Remember pictures tend to wash you out, so wear it heavier than usual, just be sure to blend well. Next apply your finishing powder. Apply the the blush in French Pink. If possible have another darker shade of blush too, for contouring,and creating more depth that one shade can not provide. Apply the Petal Shimmer Wash to the lower lid. Take a 2inch by one inch fragment of paper, or just something with a straight edge. Use this to create the perfect shadow line. Hold the paper at an angle lining up with the outer eye and the end of the eyebrow. Load your behold brush with the Smokey Peep Shadow. Rub the brushing along the paper so some of the shadow is getting on the paper and also creating a straight edge on your eye. Now hold a paper just under your eye to catch falling eye shadow, and trace the crease of your lid with the smoky eye shadow. Apply the more of the petal shimmer wash to the brow. Apply your lipsticks that approach with the palette. Top with gloss. Be sure to do a trial race and bewitch pictures so you can really see how heavy your makeup needs to be to show up in photos.
Neutral tones and natural pinks are the norm for wedding makeup. But you can also play with muted tones also, you can try a dark plum color, like bear minerals Passionate Plum, from Bare Escentuals. Check out the link to Sephora at the end of the article. What ever colors you choose for your wedding makeup, make sure you get a nice set of makeup brushes. The do you want to make is nearly impossible to achieve with the applicators that come with your eyeshadow.
If you can start 2-3 weeks in arrive. You can start doing a budget beauty homemade microdermabrasion treatment. Add 1 tbsp of baking soda to a small dish with 11/2 tsp of water. Dip your finger tips in the bowl, and begin massaging the skin with small circles, continuing to dip fingers for more of the mixture until its all on your face. Continue massaging all over your face with small circles for 10 minutes. This can be repeated 1 or twice a week for an carry out that is similar to those you get in the salon. I have included a link at the end of the article, about how to do a shiatsu facial massage which is supposed to give a nice lift to the face.
Be sure to pluck your eyebrows and wax or Nair your lip the night before, so you don't have redness or irritation from these products.
If you have always had trouble finding your perfect foundation makeup color, its not difficult. Look at the inside of your arm, if your veins have a blue cast, then you need a warm foundation with pink tones. If your veins present green, you need a neutral color with yellow undertones. If you cant remark what color your veins might be, you can use either, warm or neutral as you wish. If you are using a mineral makeup these are very forgiving, so if you get a shade lighter or darker you can blend and composed look great.
Do an at home tooth whitening, using strawberries! Yes you can get results rivaling those of the expensive kits. Mash one strawberry, and wander in 1/2 tsp baking soda. Brush your teeth well with this mixture for about 5 minutes, continuing to add more of the strawberry mixture as you go. Allow the mixture to sit on your teeth for 5 more minutes. Brush as normal and rinse well. This can done once a week.
Do a water retention releasing detox bath, peruse the instructions in my Homemade Beauty: Stay Pretty on the Cheap article.
Start applying cuticle conditioners, and keep you nails painted for a few weeks before the wedding. Be certain to do your toes and heels too.
With a return to a more natural look its easy to skip the makeup artist and no one will know.
