Going DIY is seriously trending and how, all across the nation. DIY weddings undoubtedly have that spark of a personal touch when you decide exactly what you want and how you’re going to go about getting the dream wedding look. So, what happens when it comes to your wedding makeup? Should you always go with a professional and avoid a DIY look? What if you don’t really want to look dolled up on your wedding day and how do you avoid bridal makeup mistakes?
We say that it’s perfectly fine to go DIY with regard to your makeup. But, just like you are likely to need plenty of help in planning the wedding, we suggest thinking carefully about how you would like your look to be on the wedding day. Here are 4 bridal makeup mistakes that brides all over the world make from time to time, and how you can avoid them yourself:
Don’t Blindly Follow Trends

Trends come and go and nothing is permanent in the world of fashion and makeup. That’s exactly why experimenting with a look that isn’t you but that’s currently ‘trending’ isn’t a good idea at all. For example, if you have been told that you look great with black eye kajal, switching over to peacock blue eyeliner just to match the bridal bouquet, doesn’t make sense. The idea isn’t to create a makeover for you- it’s to bring out your best features with just the right bit of help.
Know Your Skin

You know your skin the best, even better than your dermatologist. If you know that some products just don’t work for you, irrespective of online customer reviews or other feedback, then avoid these. There are plenty of people who are allergic to herbal products, despite the fact that many such herbal brands claim to have zero preservatives or chemicals. Assuming that you know what works best for you, we say stick with it. Changing a brand based on recommendation a day or two before D-Day is a bridal makeup mistake that’s for real.
Wear makeup to suit your tone

There’s this general belief that brides need to be wearing the colour red on their wedding day because it matches the colour of their lehenga or saree and makes one look bright. Don’t go by such blind advice. If you have a dark skin tone, you need to be careful about applying too much makeup. That’s because when you get clicked, there’s a good chance that your makeup won’t bring out the best in you as it ought to. If you would like to keep your makeup simple, we suggest learning more about how to do the perfect nude look. Avoid the bridal makeup mistake of thinking that too much makeup will hide your skin flaws, if any.
Trial and Error Works

Let’s assume that you know exactly how you want to look on your wedding day. Even if you are planning to go for just a basic look, make sure that you conduct at least one makeup trial on yourself before the wedding. Get a stylist to do your hair the way you plan to wear it and then apply your makeup. A trial gives you the scope of tweaking your makeup if required. Applying your own makeup on the wedding day alone is a serious bridal makeup mistake you should avoid!
