If you’re attending a destination wedding at an exotic locale this summer, or a wedding that will be taking place outdoors, you’ll need to make sure your wedding makeup will stay put for the long haul.
When you’re not hiring a wedding makeup artist to provide services for the bride and wedding party, you’ll need to use certain products and apply some makeup tips and strategies to ensure your makeup lasts. Here are some essential bridal makeup tips for a summer wedding:
Use a Makeup Primer to Improve Skin Texture
Makeup primer will not only help keep your makeup in place when you start to sweat during summer wedding events, but will also help give your skin a smooth and silky texture. Use a thin layer of a high-quality makeup primer as a base before applying liquid foundation, mineral makeup or a pressed powder so that you can create a flawless finish.
Wear Waterproof Mascara
Tears, sweat and moisture in the air will all make your eye makeup run, so it’s important to load up on waterproof mascara for your summer wedding. Separate lashes with a clean mascara brush and use an eyelash curler to sculpt and shape your lashes before applying mascara for a bold, smoldering look.
Layer with Tinted Moisturizer
If you want to warm up your face with a bronzed look or just want more coverage than mineral makeup alone can provide, use a tinted moisturizer as a base – preferably one that contains sunscreen. Tinted moisturizer can help you create a flawless, natural look by covering up blemishes and an uneven skin tone. It can also provide coverage for your neck and décolleté area.
Use a Mineral Bronzing Powder to Warm Your Complexion
If you’re going to be standing outside for several hours, you’ll need to create a flawless look under natural light. Bronzing powder can help with this. Use a powder bronzer, or mineral bronzing powder, to highlight your cheekbones, forehead, chin and nose, and blend with a large brush. The browns and reds in the bronzer will help warm up your complexion and create a natural, flawless look as you head outdoors for the wedding ceremony, reception and other wedding events.
Try Spray On Makeup for an Airbrushed Look
If want glowing skin without heavy liquid makeup for the wedding day, try a spray on makeup or airbrush spray that will help to even out your skin tone and create a silky-smooth look. The only downside of airbrush spray makeup is that you may not be able to find the perfect match for your skin tone. In this case, you can blend it with liquid foundation or mineral powder makeup for a flawless, natural-looking finish.
Don’t let the heat, humidity and temperate climate of a destination wedding or summer wedding get in the way of looking your best! Use these bridal makeup tips to ensure that your makeup looks flawless for every hour of the event.
