Makeup Tips to Look Dazzling in Your Wedding Photos

99% of the people approach their wedding photo session with trepidation and dread. Whether it’s your friends taking photos for Instagram or your photographer following you around, your wedding day will be full of flashes and filters, and you will find yourself in front of the camera for the most of your day.  

Not all of us are confident in front of the camera. Here are some tips to help ease your worries and get stunning results with the right makeup.

Have a makeup Kit Handy

It’s always a good idea to have a makeup kit handy during the wedding photoshoot. Stock it up with mascara, eyeliner, face powder, concealer, etc. Don’t forget to stock some reusable makeup remover pads as well. It’s an eco-friendly, zero-waste product that proves helpful whether you want to apply a touch-up or remove the makeup for some candid shots with your partner. 

Again, keep your style in mind. Your wedding is about you, so should your wedding photos! If you don’t prefer heavy makeup, stick to natural styles and neutral shades. Talk to your makeup artist. Your wedding is not the right day to experiment with looks.

Follow a Skin Care Regime before the Wedding

The earlier you start, the better it is! It will help if you start at least a month before the big day. Eat healthily and care for your skin. Please keep it clean and hydrated at all times. Wipe your skin clean every night before you go to bed and apply masks and moisturisers to nourish your skin and keep it hydrated. 

You could consult your makeup artist about it. Reusable makeup remover pads help here, too. Wiping your skin with soft pads leaves your skin refreshed and glowing. So, you don’t have to bother with harsh makeup wipes available in the market. Reusable remover pads made from bamboo cotton offer a complete blockage of bacteria. Since the pads are free from animal products, they work for sensitive skin types too. They are eco-friendly, and the 3-layer stitched pattern prevents warping or tearing.  

Choose Your Makeup and Hair Stylist Wisely

Any good makeup artist can make you look fabulous in real, but to create a look that translates into lovely photographs is a different ball game altogether! Go for professionals. Spend some time researching makeup artists before hiring one. Do a trial and ask for a few pictures to be taken. This way, you can put both your makeup artist and the photographer to test.

Find a Photographer You Can Be Relaxed With

You have to be comfortable with your wedding photographer. Therefore, it is advisable to strike a rapport with him. Meet him before the D-day, or maybe you and your partner could go for a trial run somewhere outside. Even in the trial run, apply the basic makeup to get an idea of the outcome. Don’t forget to carry the remover pads for wiping your skin clean after the trial shoot. 

It will help you warm up in front of the camera and build a rapport with the photographer, so you are entirely at ease on the D-day.
