Wedding Makeup Advice (Do’s and Don’ts) in South Florida

Don’t put makeup on dirty skin

Do moisturize your skin and lips

Moisturize your skin after you have washed your face. Moisturize helps prevent dry and oily skin. You don’t want to put any lip products on dehydrated lips. The makeup will not go on smooth.

Do use makeup and eye primer

Makeup primer is very important. Primer helps your makeup stay on your face, fill in pores, and smooth lines on the face. There are a variety of primers you can find in drug stores, Sephora or Ulta stores. Don’t use the primer for your face on your eyes. Eye primer is made to help keep eye shadows and glitters on your eyelids. Don’t use too much primer.

Don’t try new products on the day of the wedding

Only stick to products you know that work. You don’t want an allergic reaction on the day of your wedding. You also don’t want to ruin your look with a product that isn’t as good as the one you were using before.

Don’t get your eyebrows waxed or threaded before your wedding day

Get your eyebrows done a few days before your wedding. Waxing and threading can leave scabs and bumps. You want to avoid having to layer more makeup to cover this up.

Do bring more makeup than needed

Always be prepared for an emergency. Keep back up in case things don’t go according to plan. This can mean buying two of the lipstick you are supposed to be wearing in case one goes missing.

Don’t force yourself to wear lashes

Eyelash extensions are not for everyone. Although they may look glamorous in pictures, wearing them is a different story. If you don’t wear them often it could feel uncomfortable. If you are considering lashes, give them a test run before deciding.

Do invest in good lash glue

If you are applying false lashes for your wedding day make sure you have good lash glue. You don’t want your lashes to fall off or shift during your wedding

Do make sure you have the correct foundation

Picking a foundation color can take a few tries. The way it looks in one setting may not be ho it looks in another. Check to make sure the foundation looks good in different lighting. You don’t want to look the wrong color in pictures. Depending on the look you are going for you might need a light or full coverage foundation. If you are doing a more natural look bb cream might be your go too.

Don’t tan before your wedding

If you chose to tan before your big day, make sure that you have the right foundation colors for your tan. Since your skin will be darker, the foundation you choose may be too light. Consider your tan before you go makeup shopping or avoid tanning altogether.
