Bridal Makeup Tips1) Foundation – The time to try new foundations is not the day you get married! Stick with old faithful’s! Don’t try new shades or brands of foundations on your special day. It could be disastrous if you do. You can also apply a thin layer of translucent loose powder before or after you apply foundation for flawless coverage. This depends a lot on which foundation makeup you choose. 2) Blush - Your choice of blush should be in soft and feminine colors. Choose colors that blend well with your skin tone, and don't stand out too much. Peach and soft pink always give a candlelit glow to the face, so try each color on you before deciding. Bold dramatic colors are not good choices for your bridal makeup! 2) Eye Shadow - Eye shadow should be a neutral tone for your special day however. Try sheer colors or opt for matte neutral tones like brown, soft gray, or beige. This is especially true if your gown is white or cream colored. Your eye shadow should blend well with your skin tone to look natural. Highlight brow bones with shimmering lighter colors, like cream or white. 3) False Eyelashes - If you are going to wear false eyelashes, now is the time to apply them.
