WHY SHOULD I USE
A MAKEUP ARTIST FOR MY WEDDING?
Your wedding will be one
of the most photographed events of your life. Even if you
are used to making yourself up, contracting a makeup professional
for your wedding will produce more natural photographic results.
The eye of the camera sees in 3 dimensions but a photograph
is only 2 dimensional. Photography records a flat image that
can tend to exaggerate facial flaws. A makeup professional
knows how to use color and contouring to create more flattering
and natural dimension to the eyes, cheek bones and jaw line,
as well as a more symmetrical mouth. You are, no doubt, spending
a great deal on wedding photographs that will provide wonderful
memories for a lifetime. Make certain you have the look you
always dreamed of. Makeup artistry makes wedding day skin
break-outs disappear, and just knowing you will look your
absolute best helps to take stress out of the picture.
REMEMBER
THAT YOUR COMPLEXION STARTS AT YOUR GOWN’S NECKLINE!
Continue a light dusting of powder down onto your neck and
chest to avoid a contrast with facial makeup in photos. Since
light reflects differently off of powdered vs. bare skin,
in certain lighting and angles you may see a marked difference
between face and chest. DO NOT overdo the powder or get it
on your gown – just a light dusting will help! Of course,
you always want to be certain that your foundation color
blends at your jaw line to achieve your most natural overall
look.
HOW TO KEEP LIP COLOR FRESH ON YOUR LIPS.
To avoid lip
color that disappears, leaving only the lip liner, line
lips and smudge liner over entire lip. It allows the
lip color applied on top to last longer, adhere better and
leave no outline-only lips as it fades. To keep lip color
from getting on your teeth – apply lip color and then
put your index finger in your mouth (like sucking on a straw)
and pull it out slowly. For a chronic problem with this,
you might try a lip stain with sheer gloss over the top for
shine, since some stains can be very drying on your lips.
To give your lip color more staying power – apply a
lip sealant (such as Lip Chic) over the lip color and let
it thoroughly dry for a minute before putting your lips together.
Smudging will be minimized for that first “married
kiss.”
