Your Personal Makeup Artist Make Up Tips, Tricks, and Techniques from Professional Make Up Artists

There are a few things to know if you have an upcoming wedding or special event to make sure that your wedding makeup works best with the photography so that your pictures come out as beautiful as you!

• First, make sure that you don't try any different makeup styles the day of your wedding and wedding pictures, which is why it is always best to have a makeup consultation beforehand to make sure that you have all of your expectations met.
• Be sure to wax or tweeze your brows in advance so that there is no redness on your face, preferably 3 to 5 days prior.
• Check that the concealer that you use underneath your eyes is complementary to your skin tone, otherwise you may look too wide-eyed or pale.
• Stay away from shimmery eyeshadows because it will cause that area of your face to reflect the flash when the pictures are taken.
• Go for a more matte and natural look, instead of using too much highlighter, because this will work best for photography so that your face does not appear too shiny.
• If your eyes are puffy from lack of sleep or crying, use caffeinated tea bags to rest on your eyes for five minutes to reduce the swelling.
• Test out your foundation color in natural light to make sure that it is the same color as your skin tone so that it does not appear to look like a mask on camera.

With these tips in hand, your wedding portraits will be beautiful to look at for years to come!
