Soft Make Up Choices For Your Romantic Wedding

by Deborah Lewis

Every bride wants to look beautiful on her wedding day and I'm going to give you some great ideas
on selecting and applying the perfect make up for your romantic wedding. First off when choosing
make up for your wedding, make sure it's close to what you wear for every day. Make up should
enhance your beauty not distract from it. Foundation and blush should enhance, just don't get
carried away by a bronzer that leaves you looking slightly orange. Be sure to select colors that are
soft and flattering. Unless you are planning a Halloween wedding, bright green eye shadow will
make you look more like Lily Munster than a blushing bride. With that said, let's now delve into
finding the make up that will make you a real knock out.

Clean Skin Tips -

Before you apply any make up you need a clean soft complexion. Make sure you use a good skin
cleanser with a lot of water. Exfoliate and apply a good moisture cream if you are prone to dry skin.
For oily skin, pat dry and apply a toner or witch hazel to minimize pores.

Foundation and Blush -

When selecting a foundation the number one rule is to choose a makeup that is both flattering and
natural. Foundations might be liquid, mineral, powder, stick.... your choices are unlimited. I know
some of you might not want to wear make up at all but remember, a foundation will enhance and
give you a flawless complexion you might not have otherwise. First apply concealer, if you have dark
circles or skin imperfections, blend in gently. Be sure to choose make up as close to your own skin
color as possible and remember, stay away from dark and orange shades. Apply make up evenly,
as well as on the neck and observe to make sure it doesn't cake, you don't want that ugly makeup
line running down the side of your face that screams, "look at my mask"! This is where a good
brush or sponge is necessary. After application, you might apply a light dusting of powder if you
chose a liquid foundation. When your foundation is on, brush on a lovely blush along the cheek
bones, blend gently, after all you don't want two red spots on your cheeks. For fair skin, pink or
peach is a good choice. Darker skins look good with rose.

Eye Make Up -

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, so make yours as beautiful as possible. For a truly
romantic look, go for the smoky eye. You really only need two eye shadows. Jewel tone shadows of
violet, smoky grey and brown are excellent shadow choices for this sexy look. You will need a lighter
shadow to apply over the eye lid and a darker shadow for the crease. Brush a light shadow over the
lid and eye socket. Next, take a brush and smooth darker shadow along the contour and outer eye
area, with the shadow lighting as you brush inward. Next apply a liquid or pencil eye liner to shape
the eyes and line the outer eye rim. Blend in gently. Last but not least brush on mascara to add
volume and length to your lashes. Wipe any under eye smudges and voila! You have a smoky and
romantic eye look that's just perfect for weddings.

Lip Stick and Gloss -

Take a lip pencil and line lips, fill in with lip color or gloss for kissable lips. Use peach and pink
tones for fair skin. Darker rose and red for darker tones.

Now glamour girl, you are ready for your wedding. You might also have your bridesmaids and
maids of honor apply make up in a similar fashion. Each girl with her own unique style.
