Whether you’re doing your makeup yourself or not, the day of your
wedding, wash your face and use a light moisturizer. Whatever your
routine has been, now is not the time to change it. If you exfoliate,
however, stay away from a harsh scrub and opt instead for a gentle
exfoliating cleanser. If you have a blemish, dab some Visine on it but
otherwise leave it alone.
Make sure your makeup matches your hair and dress. Because your gown
most likely will be white, you’ll need some color to compensate for its
lack of color. Yet just as you don’t want to wear too much makeup, you
also don’t want to wear the wrong style of makeup. Your goal is a
cohesive look in which each piece makes sense with every other. Even if
you love a certain style of makeup, or are simply accustomed to wearing
makeup one way, that doesn’t mean it’s going to look good with your hair
and dress.
Wedding experts generally don’t recommend a darkly dramatic eye, opting
instead to use eye liners in colors other than black, paler or muted eye
shadows complementary to your eye color, and highlighters to make eyes
look large. Try brown, grey, and green eyeliners and apply it on both
your top and bottom eyelids to draw attention to your eyes. Using a
cream eye shadow will last longer and is best used on the lids of your
eye while a powder is best in the crease of your eye. Use a powder
highlighter in the corners of your eyes and under your brow.
Keep styling
