Wedding makeup and hairstyle reviews recommendations
The Woman’s Day editorial team, together with makeup artists Katya Loginova, Rita Petrova, as well as stylists Kira Vasilchenko and Anna Chekmeneva of the Hair Dry Bar salon, discussed 14 main rules for a wedding look and six irreplaceable products that should be in your cosmetic bag on the most important day.
First of all, bridal makeup should not change your appearance, but should emphasize its dignity, while leaving your individuality.
1. On the eve of the wedding, it is better not to experiment with cosmetic procedures such as facial cleansing, peeling, eyelash extensions, botox, etc. – all this should be done 2-3 weeks before the event due to unplanned irritation and facial redness. Eyebrow shaping – a day or two before the event.
2. The main rule of perfect make-up is to moisturize the skin of the face, which should be taken care of in advance. Procedures aimed at moisturizing and nourishing the skin are best suited: masks, creams, treatments. Particular attention should be paid to the skin around the eyes.
3. In any situation, wedding makeup must be durable. A make-up base, also known as primer, will help you with this.
4. Foundation and fixing powder should be applied in a thin layer for a more natural result.
5. Another important tool for clean and delicate wedding makeup is a highlighter, which allows you to make your face more textured, makes a relief, creates the effect of well-groomed skin due to reflective particles. Apply a tiny amount under the eyebrows, over the lip, over the cheekbones and under the chin dimple.
However, the face itself must be matte. So, for example, shiny textures of shadows and blush give unfavorable highlights in photographs, any photographer will tell you.
6. Blush choose delicate natural shades – light pink, coral to add femininity and romance. Apply in a thin layer. Do not give preference to bronzers and artificial shades on this day, this will help to avoid unnaturalness in a delicate way.
7. Lipstick must withstand kisses and feasts, so use persistent textures and be sure to take it with you.
3 items to have with you on your wedding day:
1. Compact matting powder.
2. Matting wipes. Matting or regular napkins will definitely come in handy. Just blot (don’t rub, don’t wipe!) The T-zone. Only then can you lightly powder your face, but not necessarily.
3. Waterproof lipstick.
Following these simple rules will help you be irresistible on your big day.
1. Do not dye or cut your hair on the eve of the celebration, because the result may not always please you, even if this is not the first time you work with a master. We also do not recommend changing your image drastically.
2. Invite your stylist to make a trial styling option, so you will clearly represent your image and there will be no doubt about how you will look on the day of the celebration. Together with the styling, a test make-up is usually done, after which it will be possible to put on a dress and see yourself in a completely finished image!
This will give you confidence that on your wedding day you will be exactly as in your dreams.
3. Give preference not to hairstyle trends, but to how comfortable you will feel with a particular style. You should like your reflection in the mirror and your photos after many, many years!
4. For persistent root volume, I advise you to use a volume master, it will help your hairstyle last up to several days!
5. If you have fine hair, spray TIGI Dry Shampoo on the root zone and along the entire length. This will create the effect of thick hair and any curls will last until the morning!
6. For a gentle and stylish look, careless, light styling will suit you. There is no need to build “locks” on your head if you do not want to look old-fashioned and disassemble this structure until the early morning. Naturalness, good shape, texture, volume and clean smooth lines are already wonderful.
7. Use different combs, small buds or different branches of flowers to personalize your hairstyle or look if it is strict and concise.
3 items to have with you on your wedding day:
1. Root Blast root volume spray from Alterna Bamboo.
2. TIGI dry shampoo.
3. TIGI mini-hairspray for movable fixation, which you can leave in the purse of any of your girlfriends, in case you need to fix your hair a little by adding fixation, since there is a whole rather active day ahead. Forget about glitter polish forever, as it will not decorate you at all. Better to use a pretty hairpin or other accessories to add some flair. Let your smile and eyes shining with happiness be your main decoration.
