8 Expert Wedding Makeup Tips
So, now you know the best products to buy, follow these tips from Charlotte Tilbury pro-artist Helen for the ultimate bridal makeup guide.
1. How Should I Prep My Skin Before My Wedding Day?
Skin prep is the most important step of bridal makeup! The wrong skincare can be catastrophic to the wear of your look. I recommend a simple but effective cleanse, serum, eye care & hydrate! My favourite cleanser to use for bridal is the Multi Miracle Glow Balm which will cleanse the skin whilst doubling up as a moisture mask. Magic Eye Rescue is an absolute life saver for puffy eyes, and then I always use the Magic Serum and Magic Cream for that ultimate plump glow.
2. How Should I Apply My Foundation?
Buff into the brush and then stipple onto the skin starting from the centre of the face working outwards, I like to finish with a little tap of my fingertips all over to melt the product further into the skin.
3. How Do I Pick the Right Lipstick?
Pick something that is complimentary to your overall look, that makes you feel super confident but that’s also comfortable to wear. My top two most used bridal shades are Pillow Talk & Penelope Pink!
4. Are there Any Tricks for Avoiding Flashback?
Avoid anything with too much SPF, also beware of some translucent powders! The amazing thing about the creams and products from Charlotte Tilbury that do contain SPF is that they are tried and tested on the red carpet so you are guaranteed no flashback!
5. What Are The Best Ways to Avoid Shine?
Don’t oversaturate your skin with too much moisture and I swear by the Airbrush Flawless Finishing powder to control shine.
6. How Can I Make Sure My Makeup Lasts All Day?
The Airbrush Flawless Finishing powder and Airbrush Setting Spray are the holy grail to lock in your makeup all day! And Lip Cheat liner is waterproof so makes the perfect long wearing base for lipstick.
7. What Common Mistakes Should I Avoid?
It’s important to look and feel like the best and most beautiful version of yourself but also make sure you don’t wear a look that doesn’t feel like you!
8. What Products Should I Keep on Hand All Day?
Airbrush Powder, lip cheat liner & lipstick.
Now you have the makeup down, start planning your hair with these gorgeous half up half down hairstyles.
