On your special day, you want to look as amazing on the outside as you feel on the inside. While your natural beauty will inevitably radiate from within on your wedding day, following a few savvy bridal makeup tips will help you look even more stunning. Whether you enlist a professional or opt to DIY, the following guide offers a few tips for flawless wedding day makeup.

Bridal Makeup Tips

1. Create a Smooth Canvas

Help ensure perfect makeup application by scheduling a facial a few days before your wedding — this will even your skin tone and remove dead skin cells that can dull your complexion. On the big day, prep your skin for makeup by washing your face, applying toner, using your go-to facial moisturizer, and adding primer. Healthy, hydrated skin will create a smooth canvas, making makeup application more seamless. 

2. Choose Long-Wearing Products

You don’t want to worry about raccoon eyes or smudged lipstick on your special day. To ensure your bridal makeup lasts, use long-wearing products and apply a high-quality finishing spray after application. If you don’t already own high-end, long-wear products, hiring a quality makeup artist may actually save you money. Professionals know which products look best in photos as well as endure through tears, bites of wedding cake, and hours of dancing. 

3. Don’t Forget to Be You

With pages of bridal makeup inspiration to browse, it’s tempting to choose something completely new and exciting for your wedding day. However, you may find that you feel most beautiful when you choose a variation of a look you already love to wear. Whether you adore a bold lip or generally favor dewy, natural tones, you can’t go wrong when you choose a look that’s effortlessly “you.”
