These professionals can help you select the best bridal looks according to your wedding theme, colours, skin tone, face shape etc. Here are some of the most important tips to for 2018 brides-
1. Try a couple of looks
Choosing a bridal look is not as easy as it sounds. So, if are getting married this year but still haven’t decided upon your look and style yet, then you must give at least two or three looks a try. You can visit a makeup studio with your attire of the day and then decide upon a look that will suit you. Take help of resources online and discuss your requirements with your chosen stylist.
2. Go minimalist
Yes, the minimalist, natural look is trending this year. It is the look that can help everyone see you as a confident bride who loves her natural skin tone! So instead of wearing heavy makeup, just go for light, nude shades that enhance your natural look. Opt for a light cream blush, smokey eyes and minimalist lips. Your stylist can further guide you about this look.
3. Cleanse tone moisturize!
Brides who want to have a long lasting results as far as their skin goes, need to cleanse, tone and moisturize daily. Cleansing helps reduce acne breakouts and blackheads and keeps the skin soft, smooth and glowing. Use a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser to do the job. Follow up with an Aloe Vera or Witch Hazel based toner and moisturize using a non comedogenic moisturizer. For daytime use, do not forget the SPF factor.
4. Exfoliate your skin weekly
In order to get rid of dead skin cells, exfoliate your face at least once a week, before applying makeup. Avoid over-exfoliation as it can make the skin dry. Go for gentle scrubs or you can make one at home using brown sugar and olive oil.
5. Wiggle it up!
Yeah, instead of brushing the mascara over your lashes, just wiggle the stick. This is very much a trend for 2018 as far as bridal makeup goes. Starting from bottom to top, in the same motion, wiggle the mascara stick across the lashes. It will make your eyelashes well-defined and ‘fluttery’.
6. Dust powder on those eyes
This is a convenient method of avoiding smudging of eyeliners. All you need to do is use some loose powder and dust it over the eyelids once or twice, before starting the eye make up for the big day. This will help your eye-makeup last longer.
7. Fill up brows and use fake lashes
These days, more brides are opting for fake eye lashes as they help add glamour and make for great photos. So, if you are comfortable wearing false lashes, do go for it. To fill up sparse brows, try taupe or brown shades to get the trending brows. Also, instead of using pencil, use powder to fill your eye brows.
8. Say No to highlighters
Highlighters are passe! To get that glow, simply apply gloss for highlighting your cheekbones instead of a highlighter. For a day time events, go for a latex lipstick on the higher cheekbones to get a subtle bridal glow.
9. Get enough rest
For any bride, proper sleep is very important as it can make the face look refreshed and bright. Adequate sleep will help overcome stress and tension that almost every bride undergoes thanks to the many functions, ceremonies, and rituals. In fact, the more sleep you get, the better your skin will appear (which will provide a number of benefits while applying makeup.)
