Perfect wedding make-up

Ready to walk down the aisle, but not sure how to create that ideal, classic look? Here are some foolproof tips to make sure your make-up looks perfect when you say ‘I do’

You’ve got the guy, the dress and the flowers, but don’t overlook the one detail that will make your wedding: your face. The make-up you wear when you take your vows should be a little different and more dramatic than what you wear every day. So, take a look at our make-up dos and don’ts to look picture perfect.

For your face

  • Do keep your skin looking dewy and fresh by using a tinted moisturiser or moisture-balanced make-up. Foundations with yellow undertones work best with flash photography.
  • Don't get carried away with shimmer highlighters. In photos, these products give you an unflattering and highly reflective shine.
  • Do use a bronzing powder to warm your skin tone. Using a natural bristle brush, lightly apply colour to the areas of the face where the sun would naturally hit, such as your forehead, cheeks and the bridge of the nose. If needed, apply a light dusting on your neck and chest for even all-over colour. Remember to do this before you put on your dress.
  • Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day.
  • Do give your foundation staying power by using a gel foundation primer before you apply your make-up. Add a light dusting of loose powder to prevent any unwanted shine.
  • Don't use a heavy pressed powder to set your foundation. Too much powder can leave your skin looking chalky and dull in your wedding photos.
For your eyes

  • Do use a slightly darker brow powder or gel than your natural hair colour to keep your brows looking their best. If your brows are scant, fill them in with a brow pencil in a light neutral shade and then, using a brow powder and brush, go over this shape to create a natural effect.
  • Don't use heavy pencils or dark shadows to define your brows, as this can leave you looking stern rather than stunning.
