How to do wedding makeup yourself - rules of execution, step-by-step instructions with photos and videos

A wedding is an extraordinarily beautiful celebration. Every girl dreams of her from childhood, imagining herself walking down the aisle in a beautiful white dress and next to her loved one. On this already exciting wedding day, everything must go flawlessly, without a single hitch: the wedding procession, the organization of photo and video shooting, the decorated room for the celebration and other important details. But to a greater extent, this principle concerns the wedding image of the bride herself: a perfectly fitting snow-white dress, comfortable shoes, a beautiful hairstyle, a delicate aroma and, of course, makeup. Makeup should not overload the delicate wedding image and emphasize the dignity of the girl’s face. Of course, other wedding chores are also incredibly important, but makeup is also a very necessary detail. Therefore, its implementation should be approached with special care. Of course, you can turn to the services of professionals and significantly ease an already difficult start to the day, but it is also quite possible to learn how to do wedding makeup with your own hands no worse than makeup artists.

Subtleties that are important to remember

Regardless of the makeup style you choose, there are little subtleties that all brides should know.
In addition to the standard set of cosmetics that you use at home every day, to create a festive look you will also need a highlighter and bronzer. These are indispensable assistants for sculpting the face on the occasion of a celebration. There is no need to be afraid of little-known words; in fact, everything is very simple and accessible. Highlighter will give the skin a glowing effect

The highlighter adds radiance to the face; its color comes in different colors and is selected according to your skin type. For a bride with a dark complexion, a golden highlighter will look more harmonious, and for a fair-skinned bride, a soft pink one. A small master class on using highlighter on the face:

The first step is to apply highlighter to the most prominent parts of the cheekbones and give them an attractive shine. The second step is to put a light highlight in the center of the nose, so the face becomes more graceful and attractive. Then apply a small amount of highlighter to the prominent part of the chin.

However, this step will have to be omitted for girls with too large a chin or those who do not want to focus too much attention on it. The inner corners of the eyes are also highlighted with highlighter; this technique works especially well for those who have close eyes.

The final step is to apply highlighter along the contour of the upper lip and in the center of the lower lip. The bride's lips become seductive and the contour more pronounced. Highlighter can also be applied to the middle of the forehead and in the brow area, but only if there is no drooping eyelid or an overly protruding forehead.

This master class would not be complete without information about one more assistant. We are, of course, talking about bronzer. If the use of a highlighter highlights certain areas of the face, then bronzer, on the contrary, helps to make unwanted ones less noticeable. The play of light and shadow will help you make the contour of your face charming and become the brightest, most beautiful and well-groomed bride in the world.

Greek

It is quite difficult to perform high-quality makeup at home, and it is only appropriate if the wedding dress is chosen in the Greek style.
But, knowing some subtleties, it is very easy to achieve imitation; it is enough to create the effect of tanned and radiant skin, give the lips a natural shade using light gloss and lipstick, and achieve expressiveness of the eyes using exclusively a light palette of shadows.

Sand ones are often used. light golden and beige, but, as an option, you can use slightly darker tones or pale lilac.

Step by step it looks like this:

foundation is applied to the entire face, why a corrector is used to correct imperfections and loose powder on top of everything;
the general impression of a flat face is corrected with the help of bronzer applied on top of the highlighter, drawn strictly in the middle of the face and applied to the cheekbones (the parts that should protrude are also darkened and carefully shaded);
Concealer and golden shadows are used for the eyes, a thin arrow with eyeliner thickens towards the outer edge and bends slightly towards the temple, and the eyelashes are only drawn;
eyebrows are tinted with a pencil and lengthened, and a fluffy effect can be achieved using eyebrow shadows, but the result must be secured with gel;

To make the instructions more clear, you can look at the photographs:

The color scheme of the lips depends on the skin tone, facial features and eye color.

Light makeup for a friend's wedding. How to apply makeup step by step?

Here are step-by-step instructions to apply makeup correctly:

Prepare for make-up in the evening. Apply the mask, cleanse the skin with toner and scrub, massage your face with your fingertips. Tidy up your eyebrows. You can cool your eyelids with ice cubes to remove the tired look.
Apply foundation and blend it with a brush. Make sure there are no streaks or blemishes on your face. We recommend products marked HD: they last for hours and look great in photos.
Conceal under-eye circles, acne and other blemishes with concealer.
Apply loose powder, fix the base with primer so that the makeup does not “smear.”
Emphasize the eyebrow line with a pencil.
Apply eyeshadow primer to your eyelids, then apply the eyeshadow itself. You can do without foundation, but with it the cosmetics will last longer.
If desired, draw arrows with eyeliner.
Lengthen your lashes with waterproof mascara.
Carefully outline the contour of your lips with a pencil, fill them with gloss or lipstick.
Apply blush to your cheekbones. Beautiful makeup for the bridesmaids is ready!

Fans of eco-style prefer mineral cosmetics.

It is useful, but undesirable for wedding makeup. The face will look too pale, especially in the photo

For a holiday you need brighter makeup, and it is better to leave minerals for every day.

Here are the main points that you should definitely consider before doing your wedding makeup:

We recommend focusing either on the lips or the eyes. Retro style allows for both. But usually two bright spots look rude and out of place.
Let your makeup match your outfit. A light nude dress will go well with an airy lace dress, and “Hollywood chic” will suit a frank, bright dress. The severity of the trouser suit is emphasized by smokey eyes.
Don't forget about the lighting in the registry office or restaurant. Dim light may make your face look pale. Therefore, we do not recommend applying too light shadows. Even with modest makeup, it is better to give preference to brown, dark gray or rich yellow colors.
Sometimes bridesmaids deliberately “contrast” with the bride’s style. They seem to create a background, highlighting her advantages. The fragility and femininity of the future wife will be emphasized by bright, slightly provocative makeup for the groom. And if the newlywed is a bright “butterfly”, limit yourself to nude or something more neutral.
Cheekbones can and should be emphasized. Eternal trends are pink or terracotta shades.
When choosing shadows, be guided by both fashion and your eye color. So, gray, light brown, lilac shades are suitable for blue-eyed people. Brown eyes: beige, hazel, blue, green. For green-eyed people, it is better to choose gold, bronze, purple or silver-black shadows. Cool tones (blue, silver) are good for gray eyes, but those with gray-green eyes can try terracotta and copper colors. Black-eyed people prefer plum, honey, lilac, and peach shades.

Makeup-memo for the bride

The famous American makeup artist and art director of the Bobbi Brown brand Eduardo Ferreira is categorically against creativity and seasonal trends in everything related to bridal look. According to right-hand woman Bobbi Brown, it's better to stick with the classics. Many years later, when you look back at your wedding photos, a bride’s makeup with blue lips and a glittery smokey eye will not be a cause for regret.
The other extreme is to get married with a completely “naked” face. Even if you never wear makeup, you should wear makeup on this day. A light tone, expressive eyebrows, a little mascara and lipstick-balm in natural colors will highlight your advantages and add photogenicity.
Focus on the eyes, not the lips. Bright lipstick or gloss is unlikely to survive a marathon of kisses and a wedding banquet.
A common mistake brides make when it comes to eye makeup is using dry and creamy products with shimmer (they look bad in photos). It is better to give preference to matte textures. And don't neglect your eye shadow base.
When choosing lipstick, avoid carrot and apricot shades - they emphasize the yellowness of your teeth. But various versions of pink are ideal for a delicate and natural look. The main thing is that the color of the coating does not look too pale.
Use long-lasting cosmetics: they won’t run, even if you decide to cry during especially touching moments.
Step-by-step bridal makeup is unthinkable without neat, well-groomed eyebrows. If you are not confident in your skills, we recommend not to take risks and get correction (coloring) from a good eyebrow artist. On day X, all you have to do is fill in the gaps between the hairs with a pencil and fix the shape with transparent gel.
Don't overuse tanning. Light dark skin looks advantageous against a snow-white dress, but here it is important to remember the principle of less is more. And you definitely shouldn’t go to a solarium or experiment with auto-bronzant on the eve of the celebration - the result can be unpredictable!
Whether you plan to do the bride’s makeup yourself or trust a professional makeup artist, remember: you don’t need to try to radically change your look by putting on a ton of makeup. It is enough to be a little brighter and more spectacular than usual.

Makeup lesson

Now let's try to do the simplest, but incredibly beautiful wedding makeup step by step, with our own hands. This option is suitable for any eye and hair color.

So, we will start our wedding makeup with cleansing and moisturizing the skin. This must be done before applying cosmetics. Even if you did all these procedures in the morning. Just don't overdo it with moisturizer - you risk getting an oily sheen. Use your usual means. Apply a base for foundation and eye shadow to your face. As mentioned above, she is the best friend of longevity and matte. You need very little base or primer: just a drop of product is enough, which will be distributed over the face with your hands. Then we apply foundation to match the color of the skin, if possible using a special brush, for example, a “petal” brush, which you can see in the photo.

The next step will involve a kind of facial correction and may scare you not only with the complexity caused by the term itself, but also with the seeming “abundance” of tonal products on the face. This is not at all the case, since the base, in addition to its main function, will also serve as a leveling agent, allowing you to subsequently use a significantly smaller amount of foundation. Also, this technique of applying makeup will help to convey the color of blush or eye shadow exactly as it is in the palette and you will not have to achieve the intensity of the shades layer by layer. Make the correction in accordance with the rules for correcting your particular face type. But if you sorely lack time to study the basics of correction, then resort to the help of such a technique as contouring, as we did: with a dark corrector, darken the cheekbones, the borders of the forehead and chin and the wings of the nose, and highlight the cheekbone, the area under the eyebrow, and the back with a light one nose and edge of the upper lip. You will see a more accurate diagram in the photo. You can’t even imagine how much your face will transform after these simple machinations. To complete your face correction, use your favorite blush, which you can apply with your hands. The main thing is to observe moderation: wedding makeup implies a fresh and youthful face, covered with natural, light shades, and not painted colors for a wedding cake.

Traditionally, eye makeup begins with eyebrows, and wedding makeup will be no exception. To do this, apply a pencil or shadow in a natural shade or a little darker to the previously adjusted shape. Fill in any gaps and make the brow tail a little longer and sharper. So that all your work does not go to waste, use a gel to fix your eyebrows. For the makeup of the eyes themselves, we will take shades that suit absolutely everyone: sand, golden, brown, pearlescent and black. We apply a delicate shade of sand shadows to the entire eyelid, and decorate the space under the eyebrow and the inner corner with a pearlescent shade. Apply brown shadows to the outer corner and crease of the eyelid, drawing the desired shape of the eye. Shading them well, extending the pattern a little towards the temple and connecting it with the lower eyelid, onto which we also apply a little dark shadow

It is important to note that the pattern of shadows in the photo is due to this exact shape of the eye.

We cannot deprive wedding makeup of its shine, and therefore we apply a drop of golden or some other pastel shiny shadows to the middle of the eyelid. This will give the look an attractive look and a festive look. We draw the outer eyelid with a neat black arrow, the tail of which slightly continues the shadow pattern. Apply generous amounts of mascara to your eyelashes, but be sure to comb them with a clean brush to avoid lumps. If you wish, you can use false eyelashes or separate bunches, but in the photo we only used mascara. But you still decide to stick on eyelashes, the main thing is not to overdo it: you should look natural. We draw the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a milky pencil.

With this eye makeup, it is not necessary to make your lips stand out very brightly: lipstick or gloss will be enough for them, which will be the same tone or slightly darker than the natural shade. We start makeup with the lips, designing them with a pencil of the same color as the lipstick, but we outline not only the contour, but the entire space of the lips. This will enhance the color of the lipstick or gloss and make the product last longer. Blend it a little with your hands, making the lines and color more natural. Apply lipstick or gloss on top with your hands. In the photo we used translucent gloss. Well, that’s all, we have created a delicate and romantic wedding makeup with our own hands! Secure the result with a couple of brush strokes with loose powder and run to the registry office!

Makeup for a bride with green eyes

Timeless classic! To create this gentle, romantic look, you will need matte shadows in nude tones. Apply the lightest shade to the entire moving and fixed eyelid, blend the creamy pink in the center. Darken the crease and outer corner with brown shadows, and use them to highlight the lower eyelid. Draw a neat arrow with a black gel liner. Apply mascara to your eyelashes and glue on artificial tufts. To make your eyes shine, add a shimmering pearl pigment to the inner corner.

The final touch is to add a light tint to the lips. Useful life hack: to make lipstick or gloss last longer, apply it to a base made of a durable pencil.

This bridal makeup is also suitable for brunettes, only dark-haired beauties need to choose a richer and more intense color palette. Coffee, brick, copper and bronze tones will look amazing on them.

Master class wedding makeup step by step with photos

Let's try to figure out how to do wedding makeup yourself. Wedding makeup at home can turn out no worse than in the salon, if you follow the basic rules for applying decorative cosmetics and create wedding makeup step by step.

Step one. Cleansing and moisturizing.

Preliminary thorough cleansing of the skin is an indispensable condition for perfect wedding makeup! Different skin types are cleansed in different ways - either with mattifying tonics and lotions, or with cosmetic milk.

Next, the cleansed skin of the face and neck must be moisturized with a light day cream. A special moisturizer should also be applied to the area around the eyes. The cream must be left on the skin for at least 5-10 minutes.

Step two. Skin toning for wedding makeup

An important stage in wedding make-up is creating the effect of smooth matte skin! This can be achieved using various tonal products. When creating bridal makeup, it is preferable to use transparent water-based foundations. They perfectly even out skin tone, giving it a flawless look. In addition, such creams are weightless and do not weigh down makeup at all.

If your skin is problematic and you need to disguise some imperfections, you can use concealer (corrector) and foundation powder.

A spot corrector will help hide various redness on the skin, small pimples and dark circles under the eyes, and foundation powder will provide problem skin with an even, fairly dense coverage.

Apply foundation to the skin using light movements using your fingers or a damp sponge.

When toning the skin, we must not forget about the boundary between the neck and face. The foundation must be thoroughly blended

There should be no visible boundary between different zones! This is especially important if the bride is wearing a dress with open shoulders and a deep neckline

Step three. Tone fixation.

The skin tone must be set using transparent loose powder, which is applied to the face, neck and décolleté with a large round brush. Toning problem skin can be completed using compact powder.

Step four. Eye decoration for wedding makeup at home

The main emphasis when performing wedding makeup is always on the mirror of the soul - the eyes!

When decorating the bride's eyes, you should remember that in wedding make-up there is an unspoken ban on clear graphic lines! Dramatic dark shadows and black eyeliner pencils are also discouraged.

Both blondes and brunettes are recommended to use soft, discreet colors in their makeup. Recommended colors for eyeshadow include smoky gray, honey, beige, pink, pale lilac, turquoise, olive tones. Pencils can be brown or dark gray. White pencil is also actively used in wedding make-up.

The design of the eyes begins with the eyelids. The eyelids are pre-matted using a special base or beige shadows. Next, companion shadows are alternately applied to the eyelids - light ones on the inner corner of the eye and darker ones on the outer corners of the eyes. The border between the shadows is carefully shaded.

In order to open the eyes, the lower eyelid is usually lined with a white (or beige) pencil. The interciliary space of the upper eyelid is painted over with a dark (but not black!) pencil. It is best to use waterproof mascara.

By the way, the bride is not forbidden to glue several artificial eyelashes to create a deep look. It is recommended to avoid decorating your eyelids with sparkling rhinestones - rhinestones glare and may not look the best in wedding photographs.

Step five. Do-it-yourself wedding eyebrow makeup

Eyebrows should be in perfect shape for your wedding day. It is better to correct the shape of the eyebrows in advance, because if you do this on the wedding day, the eyebrows may turn red. If the eyebrows are already in order, all that remains is to lightly outline them with a special pencil (the color of the pencil should match the color of the bride’s hair). Tinted eyebrows need to be combed and secured with a special gel.

Step six. How to do wedding lip makeup yourself?

Since in wedding make-up the main emphasis is almost always on the eyes, lips, as a rule, are decorated with soft lipstick or gloss in delicate berry tones.

The bride can also use long-lasting lipstick that stays on her lips for a very long time without updating. However, you should keep in mind that this lipstick dries your lips very much, so it is better to combine long-lasting lipstick with gloss of a suitable shade.

What is the difference between wedding makeup and evening makeup?

Both wedding and evening makeup are designed to highlight the beauty and individuality of a woman. However, when performing these types of makeup, there are significant differences both in the selection of the palette of cosmetics and in the procedure itself.

Brides in most cases prefer subtle makeup. This means that light shades of shadows, soft lipstick and delicate blush are used. In evening makeup, bright or dark colors are preferable, looking impressive and expressive only in artificial lighting.

Makeup durability is an important factor. And if the bride’s makeup should remain fresh for half a day, then evening makeup is done for several hours, so there is no need to think about its durability.

Royal modesty from Kate Middleton

If you only want to slightly emphasize your natural beauty and focus on naturalness, then wedding makeup like Kate Middleton’s will suit you. Nothing extra, but at the same time absolutely stunning.

It is interesting that the future wife of Prince William decided to do her makeup herself, refusing the services of the most famous makeup artists in the world. The fact is that the girl did not like the wedding makeup rehearsal, and then Kate decided to take a couple of lessons from London makeup guru Arabella Preston.

Middleton decided to place the main emphasis on her eyes: just lightly outline the eye contour, and highlight the upper eyelid with dark brown shadows. By highlighting the area under the eyebrow, Kate visually “lifted” her eyes, making her look more open.

Kate also did not forget to freshen up her face with a delicate peach blush. The Duchess only slightly moistened her lips with a colorless balm.

What will be required in the process

Many brides wonder how to do their own makeup, and what will be needed for this? We offer a detailed list of products that you cannot do without in the process of applying makeup. All of them must be of the highest quality, thanks to which your make-up will last on your face until the very end of the festive evening.

Basic makeup products. With their help, you can properly even out the tone of your face, hide minor imperfections, and your makeup will last a long time and much better. Foundation. Work with light and light shades that perfectly match your complexion. There is no need to experiment and use cosmetics with a tanning effect or very dark tones. You can also use bronze powder to highlight the cheekbones, chin and forehead. For eye shadow, it is best to choose liquid eye shadow options. Eyeliner or pencil. If you plan to visually express your eyes, you cannot do without such products. Makeup artists recommend using not only aggressive black, but also more delicate blue, brown, and green. Blush. Use soft and barely noticeable products to refresh your complexion. Eyebrow pencil. It is best used to highlight your eyebrows. The shadows crumble quickly, so they will not give the desired effect. Lipstick or gloss

You can use classic pink shades or pay attention to brighter colors. When accentuating the eyes, it is best to use pastel lipsticks.

Bright sexuality of Kim Kardashian

If modesty and restraint are not your thing, and at your wedding you want to shine brighter than Hollywood stars, then the look of Kim Kardashian at her wedding with basketball player Kris Humphries will suit you.

A bright accent on the eyes is the main highlight of her look! Dark, but soft smoky-eyes have long become Kim’s signature look. To make your look even more impressive, don’t forget about false eyelashes. You can use a whole row at once or individual bunches that will highlight only the outer corner of the eye.

Another important accent of this makeup is perfect skin. You can’t do without thick toning products and proper color correction of your face, but in holiday photos you will look perfect.

Eye makeup taking into account their color: application techniques

A little higher, we drew your attention to the fact that you should choose an eye makeup option, taking into account their color. Let's look at this topic in more detail: below we have collected detailed video instructions on makeup for brown, blue, green and gray eyes

Brown eye makeup

Products of almost any shade are suitable for you, but do not forget about an important rule: light colors make your eyes appear larger, while dark colors, on the contrary, can visually reduce them. Don't neglect metallic shades, they will look very impressive. Don't be afraid to use colored mascara - purple or blue

It will suit you perfectly!

Brown-eyed girls can experiment even with a bright pink shade of eyeshadow.

Blue eye makeup

Emphasize the color of your eyes using shades with warm pigments - caramel, peach, coffee.
Blue or cyan shadows are also acceptable, but their color does not have to exactly match the color of your eyes, so choose options that are one or two shades lighter or darker.
Feel free to use all shades of purple (from lavender to dove) and don’t neglect bright eyeliners that will add the necessary zest to your look.

Green eye makeup

The same rule is relevant for you as for girls with blue eyes: the most advantageous products will be from warm colors.
Plum, eggplant and other shades of purple will perfectly highlight the beauty of your eyes. The secret is simple: purple is located opposite green on the color wheel, so it creates an expressive contrast with it.
Shades from the red range (like brick or terracotta) are also suitable for you, but be careful: the red pigment on the eyelids will highlight any redness on the skin, so make sure that the tone is perfect.

Makeup for gray eyes

If nature has blessed you with gray eyes, avoid dull shades - beige and inexpressive pink shades will make your face look tired.
Choose eye makeup products in cool colors: blue, turquoise, purple. By the way, the latter go well with fair skin.
To “turn” gray eyes into blue, use products in blue tones.

Rules for applying wedding makeup at home

Any bride can do her own wedding makeup if she wishes. The choice of the ideal make-up depends on the girl’s style and the look she will wear at the wedding. He can be both strict and gentle and romantic. Do-it-yourself makeup should be combined with the chosen dress and accessories. Experts do not advise wearing too bright makeup, which will look downright vulgar on such a romantic holiday.

Facial skin cleansing

The first step before applying wedding makeup with your own hands is to thoroughly cleanse your facial skin. To do this, use a scrub or peeling. After this, treat your face with an alcohol-free toner and apply a day moisturizer. Then you need to wait a little while the product is absorbed, making the surface of the skin more even. Only after this proceed to applying foundation.

Applying concealers

It is recommended to apply foundation with a sponge, thanks to which the mattifying product will apply evenly. Apply the cream with light patting movements. Don't forget also about the neck and décolleté area. Otherwise, there is a high probability of getting the effect of a contrast mask on the face. To set the foundation, use powder. Apply powder using a powder puff and remove excess makeup with a large brush.

Eyebrow correction

Even an elegant, delicate look will be ruined by poorly shaped eyebrows.

This area of the face should be given special attention, because eyebrows can transform any make-up. Corrections should be made in advance

To make your eyebrows clearer and more expressive, tint them with a pencil or special shadows with a brush. Blondes should choose a light shade of brown, redheads should choose brown, brunettes should choose dark brown or black.

Eye makeup

After shaping your eyebrows in the process of applying wedding makeup, you need to move on to your eyes. Often, successfully doing eye makeup with your own hands the first time is not so easy. It would be a good idea to first familiarize yourself with photo and video tutorials on applying professional wedding makeup. The color of the shadows in each individual case should be selected individually. Each shade should be applied with a separate brush. Experts strongly recommend using only waterproof mascara.

To give your eyes expressiveness and make them more impressive, use false eyelashes or special bunches that are attached to the outer corner of the eye. After the artificial eyelashes are securely fixed, paint them with mascara. Finally, curl them slightly using a special eyelash curler.

Cheekbones and lips

Do-it-yourself wedding makeup involves the use of blush, which will help hide imperfections and highlight the advantages of the bride’s face shape. It is preferable to choose natural shades that are as close as possible to the natural complexion. Apply blush using a large brush to the upper protruding area of the cheeks. Shimmering powder with a light pink tint applied to the cheekbones, forehead, and chin will help make your skin lighter.

The choice of lipstick color or gloss for wedding makeup depends entirely on the preferences of the bride. Some girls want to highlight a charming smile with rich red or cherry color, while others plan to focus on their eyes. The basic rule for choosing lipstick or gloss for DIY wedding make-up is that the cosmetics should be as long-lasting as possible. The lipstick should also be moisturizing so that the lips do not look tight.

Consequently, their makeup should be no less durable than that of brides, but at the same time it should not seem more flashy than that of the bride. So, when arranging makeup for a wedding (for guests), how should mothers apply makeup?

Doing your own makeup

A wedding can take place at different times of the year; the set of cosmetics most often depends on this criterion. During hot periods, be sure to stock up on thermal water. It tones and moisturizes the skin. This allows the makeup to last all day without any problems.

During cold periods, it is recommended to use a special silicone base. It makes it possible to create a kind of film on the skin that protects the face from frost and prevents it from turning red.

Applying cosmetics at home

As you may have noticed from the above, each season requires its own list of cosmetics.
During the hot season, the following set should be used:

thermal water;
light foundation;
corrector;
means for fixing make-up;
eyeliner;
waterproof mascara;
matting napkins.

During the cold period, this set changes radically. After all, we need to make every effort to preserve the natural color of our skin.

Therefore, you should take the following cosmetics:

base with silicone base;
moisturizing tone;
loose powder;
It is advisable to use waterproof mascara;
any decorative product for lips.

With this simple set of cosmetics, you can achieve the perfect effect. Such products allow you to saturate the skin with essential microelements and at the same time create facial decor. But we’ll figure out how to apply it further.

Step-by-step instruction

To properly create your wedding makeup yourself, you need to apply a foundation. This process consists of four steps. Start by applying a moisturizer that will help maintain your skin's natural color. Next you need to cover the problem areas with corrector.

The third step will be applying foundation. It should blend in with your skin color. Application of the product must be done using a special sponge. It allows you to evenly distribute the tone across the face. The final step is to apply transparent powder.

The product allows you to even out the tone and get rid of the natural shine of the skin.

Next you should apply decorative cosmetics. The first step is to select the shadows. It is advisable to use neutral shades, which will make the image more natural. We apply them on the eyelids to the eyebrow line, this will make it possible to use the shadows as a base.

Then, using a brown pencil, draw a line on the lower eyelid. The color in this case can be black or brown.

It is recommended to apply it in small quantities. Immediately on the bridge of the nose, then around the eyes, on the chin and lastly under the cheekbones.

The final step will be lipstick. It is recommended to use a universal pink shade. It is ideal for the natural look of the bride.

It is better to apply lipstick using a special brush, and then cover your lips with a transparent gloss. This will keep the color for the whole day. That's all, the simple wedding makeup is ready.

Makeup for a bride with brown eyes

A simple and at the same time bright image that is easy to replicate at home. Blend sand-colored shadows over the entire eyelid to the eyebrow, draw a “corner” with chocolate ones (for convenience and clarity of lines, you can use a stencil or a piece of tape). Work well with a fluffy brush to soften the edges of the colors. Emphasize the eyelash contour with liquid or gel eyeliner. Apply mascara to your eyelashes and apply false eyelashes for maximum volume. For lips, a satin lipstick in a berry shade is ideal.

Step-by-step application of wedding makeup

You can apply makeup for a wedding step by step in several stages: cleanse the skin, create a complexion using tone, tint the eyebrows, pay attention to the eyes, cheekbones and lips

Facial skin cleansing

Cleanse your skin with your regular cleanser to prevent shine throughout the day.
Wipe with toner to tighten pores.

Creating Skin Tone

Apply moisturizer for smoothness. It is better to use a gel-based cream with less oil content.
Use a makeup base. It will increase the durability of your makeup and prevent it from slipping and becoming oily.
Treat problem areas with corrector: inflammation, age spots and small irregularities. A product with a yellow tint will help with dark circles under the eyes, while a green tint will neutralize redness.
Apply the foundation evenly using a sponge: on the face, neck and décolleté. Applying with the fingertips will be less effective. To improve your complexion and correct its shape, you need to use two shades of foundation: light and one tone darker. Light - apply to the area under the eyes, on the forehead above the bridge of the nose, along the nose, on the chin and near the nasolabial folds. A dark shade - on the forehead under the hairline, under the protruding part of the cheeks and along the oval of the face on the cheekbones.
Apply translucent powder with a brush. The powder should be transparent with a light texture.

Eyebrow correction

Emphasize the shape of the eyebrows using a pencil and shadows. Shade – 1-2 shades lighter than hair. Comb the hairs with a brush and secure with a special fixing gel.
You should not use sharp lines in wedding makeup.

Eye makeup

Apply shadows all over the eyelid, using a light neutral tone. Under the middle part of the eyebrows, tint with a light shimmer color. To make your look more expressive, apply a dark shade of eyeshadow to the outer edge of your eyelid. Paint the middle with pearlescent color, this is the tone color between light and dark shadows.
Emphasize the interciliary space of the upper eyelid with a black or brown pencil. Lightly blend the applied pencil on the lower eyelid with a brush. The pencil should be durable and not smear throughout the day.
If desired, bundles of 2-3 artificial hairs or individual feathers are glued onto the eyelashes. The length is average. Apply black waterproof mascara to the upper and lower rows of eyelashes. Apply 2 layers to the top ones.

Note! If the eyes are lined with liquid eyeliner, then the emphasis on the lips should be reduced

Applying blush

The secret to perfect wedding makeup is proper care

To make the bride's makeup look flawless, you need to take care of your skin long before the important date. Let's look at three daily rules for facial care:

Cleansing. In the morning, the skin needs to be cleansed of the secretion products of the sebaceous glands (sebum) released overnight. Choose a mild cleanser. For dry skin, the best solution is products with a milky or creamy texture that does not foam. For oily and combination skin – gels with soft surfactants (surfactants). A more thorough, namely 2-stage cleansing will be needed in the evening. You can use good quality micellar water to remove makeup. To cleanse the skin, you can use hydrophilic oil, and then gel or foam for washing.
Toning is considered an important step in skin care, because it restores the acid-base balance (pH). It is necessary to wipe the skin with tonic immediately after cleansing in the morning and evening.
Moisturizing completes your daily skin care routine. It's no secret that lack of moisture leads to dry skin and premature formation of wrinkles. Apply moisturizer to your face along massage lines. Eye contour cream – with light tapping movements along the orbital bones under the eyebrows.

Start taking care of your skin right now and you will certainly see results. After all, with well-groomed skin, doing makeup for a wedding is much easier. Along with basic care, use nourishing masks, scrubs (rolls), restoring serums 1-2 times a week - and your skin will become flawless. Do not forget that all care products should be selected individually.
