6 Things All Brides Must Tell Their Makeup Artists

Best dress, best shoes, best jewellery and best makeup– it is a dream for every bride to look the best on her wedding day. But only very few emphasise on achieving real beauty that depends on a great makeup artist and can only be achieved through his/her sustained efforts as well as tricks! All you need to do is discuss the right issues with your makeup artist before your nuptials.

Given my experience, I would like to tell you what all you should discuss with your makeup artist, so that you emerge flawless on your wedding day.

1. Pre-organising your bridal look

You should try your wedding trousseau and show it to your makeup artist; so that it becomes easier for him/her to decide on the colour palette of makeup to be used for the function. This pre-organising of your bridal-do would enable the makeup artist to prepare accordingly. This would leave no room for mistakes. Also, do let them know, whether you are going to wear a single or double dupatta style, to let them understand and prepare your bridal look depending on that.

2. Don’t be shy to say what suits you

Do not shy away from revealing what suits you and what doesn’t, especially, when it comes to choosing makeup products for your skin. Tell the artist to choose products according to your skin type, so that they don’t leave any sort of side-effects and emerge to be long-lasting. For hair, you should instruct your stylist to stick to the best brands possible too; as hair are most prone to fall if not treated sensitively.

3. Talk about what you want

While your makeup artist is selecting the hues of your lip and eye makeup, it becomes important for you to reveal your comfort and inhibitions. For example, if you feel you can’t don or carry off a cherry red or oxblood shade on your pout, it would be wiser to directly admit it in front of your artist. This would help you to emerge as a confident bride than just a bride!

4. You can’t ignore the ‘height’

You must also share the difference of height between you and your fiancé, so that he can decide upon the hairstyle to be made, accordingly. You, of course would not like it, if a puffed up bun makes you appear taller than your man! So, to avoid such a situation, you must share the height of your partner with the artist.

5. Do Talk about Time

To be on a safer side, it is advisable to ask about your ‘makeup-time’ from the professional, so that you can reach to him/her early on your wedding day. Well, keep in mind that when beauty services are done in a hurry, they seldom emerge good. This might also create a wrong impression of the concerned artist in your mind, which is not fair for a makeup artist. So, talk to your artist about how much time will be taken to complete your bridal makeup and hairdo, and plan your salon appointment accordingly.

6. Minutest Details Matter

While getting ready for your wedding day, you also have to keep in mind that a wedding is an event with multiple-ceremonies. At times or in certain communities, a bride might have to change her attires in between different customs. For example, just after the varmala, a bride might have to change into a different outfit before the pheras start. Well, the bride might just get enough time to change her clothes, but not her makeup.

So, in order to make your bridal look emerge perfect for all the ceremonies and with all the different dresses, it is important to show all your attires to the artist. This will enable them to round upon a perfect colour of eye liner, lip shade and decide for intensity of the makeup; and implement it according to all your outfits.

After you have selected your perfect bridal attire, jewellery and shoes, it all comes down to your makeup artist to put it all together in the best way possible. So, rush to your makeup artist now and talk your heart out to make sure you get nothing but the best!

Expert Tips On How To Choose The Right Foundation

Picking up the correct shade as well as type of foundation is a must for every bride to flaunt a flawless face on her wedding day. However, it is quite a tricky thing for most women to find the right foundation for themselves. In fact, not many brides know the right tricks to choose an “ideal” foundation.

Well, if you also face tough time while selecting the right foundation for yourself, then it is time to shed all your worries. Here are a few fantastic tips to figure out a perfect foundation shade as well as type, so that you never go wrong again!

Choosing foundation according to skin type

Oily Skin : As your skin already secretes enough oil, try avoiding oil-based foundations. Such foundations can cause bleeding of makeup and make your face look patchy. Instead, you can go for oil-free or matte formulations for a flawless finish of makeup. Also, you should remember to set the base with a matching or transparent compact powder to look gorgeous all day long.

Dry Skin : This type of skin is always in the need of extra moisture. Therefore, it is advisable to go for the ones enriched with moisturisers. Such foundations will help you to cover all the flaws of your face while adding the much-needed moisture at the same time. In case you want light coverage, a tinted moisturiser is the best bet for you. On the other hand, go for oil-based or creamy foundations if you require heavy coverage.

Normal Skin : If you have such a skin type, you are indeed blessed as your foundation choice may range variously from tinted moisturizer to the mineralised bases. Just choose the one depending upon the occasion as well as the type of coverage (light or heavy) you want, and you are good to go.

Tricks to choose the right shade

Selecting a suitable shade of foundation can be cumbersome and tricky. Hence, it is preferable to not solely depend upon the lighting of the cosmetic store you are buying the product from. Rather, you should try your shade in daylight. You may try and test the foundation shade by applying it on the skin between your thumb and the index finger.

And, if that still does not satisfy you, then you can apply the foundation on your cheeks and see if it is matching with your skin tone. You can even click pictures after applying the foundation and see how it will look in pictures.

These days, many reputed cosmetic brands provide a free facility of makeup-trials to their clients. In this, they implement full makeup on you, to check its suitability. You can certainly opt for such brands for choosing a correct shade of foundation for yourself.

Choosing foundation according to weather

Another important factor to keep in mind while choosing your foundation is the weather. No matter how good makeup you apply on your face, it will just not work for you if you would not act weather-wise. So, for all those who are unaware what goes well with which weather, here is a piece of information. A tinted moisturizer is a good option for winters, while mousses or soufflé are considered best for the summer season.

So, it is time to keep all your worries related to the first step of applying makeup at bay, as you have this wonderful guide with you. And as they say, ‘a good beginning makes a good ending’, you certainly will look your best on the most important day of your life.
