1.Glow beats matt
For a long time, the motto was in terms of make-up: the better, the better!In the meantime, however, the matt look is quite out of date, and that's a good thing.A carefully matted face quickly appears very unnatural and one -dimensional in photos.It is therefore better to give the face with highlighters, concealers and contour powder a little more structure.It does not have to be the full-face contouring look, it is enough for some shimmer powder on the cheekbones, the tip of the nose and above the lip to give the face more space.Light foundations with a natural silky finish instead of matt full coverage products are also helpful.The T-Zone can and should continue to be powdered, if only so that the make-up lasts longer.However, the powder should not take over, less is more here.So that it does not look too pasted, the handle to loose transparent powder makes sense.We guarantee that in photos the style with the gentle glow looks much fresher and more beautiful than a matt make-up.
2.Rely on waterproof formulations
Tears and sweat are inevitable at weddings, so the make-up has to endure a lot, waterproof formulations are a must.Incidentally, this is not only limited to mascara, also foundation, eyeshadow and eyeliner should be selected in the ultra -durable variant.There are also special sports product lines that should withstand even a strenuous workout with a lot of sweat-certainly not a bad choice for a wedding.
3.Don't forget primer and fixing spray!
The make-up primer is applied to the whole face after the moisture cream and before the foundation and ensures that the make-up can be better distributed and stays on the spot longer.At the same time, he paves the skin and prepares it for all subsequent products.The whole thing is also available as an eyeshadow base with the same effect.The desired make-up is then applied and at the end it means: fix!This is possible with fixing powder, which is applied to the T-zone with a brush, or with fixing spray that is sprayed over the whole make-up.The effect: the make-up keeps and holds and holds, no trace of a "cakey" effect.

4.The bridal make-up photo test
Regardless of whether you put on your make-up for your wedding or let your professional-in any case, the make-up look for the big day should have been tried in advance and found to be good.And very important: you should take pictures of the make-up with lightning beforehand.Some powder ensures an unsightly, whitish flashback in pictures that you don't see directly without camera lenses.With the photo test, such a nasty surprise can be avoided afterwards.In any case, it makes sense to check beforehand whether you like the desired bridal make-up in photos at all-the pictures sometimes accompany you for a lifetime.

5.Stay true to the bride make-up
The most important point in the end: it makes no sense to pretend to be at all at all.The bridal make-up serves to emphasize the advantages, but you should not optically turn into another person for a day.If you are otherwise the natural type and wear little make-up, please do so at your wedding.For example, put only a few accents, such as with a light foundation, some blush, a shimmering eyeshadow, mascara and a light gloss on your lips.Conversely, this also applies to all those who like to make up very much.No matter whether red lips, fake lashes or colorful eyeliner-there are no no-gos in bridal make-up.
