Beautiful Wedding

Wedding makeup is not as easy as it looks like. This is actually one of the most difficult, not to mention demanding makeup, a makeup artist will ever encounter. Learn how to create a perfect and beautiful bridal makeup with these helpful makeup tips.

Photogenic Wedding Makeup

A wedding will not be complete without pictures. Expect tons of pictures to be taken so make sure that the bride’s and groom’s makeup is not only flawless but photogenic as well. To make the bride’s lips more obvious in pictures, top her lipstick with a gloss. Sparkly makeup looks beautiful in person but avoid using too much glittery powders as they will show up as ugly white specks in photographs. Remember, sparkly makeup is also a no-no makeup for mature women. It will just end up emphasizing their wrinkles. Don’t forget to apply the blush — a hint of color on the cheeks always looks good in pictures.

Long-Lasting Wedding Makeup

Wedding celebrations may last all day long so make sure that the makeup will not disappear or fade before the wedding celebration ends. Applying a makeup primer is a must if you want to achieve a long-lasting makeup. Makeup primers are known to absorb oil — allowing the makeup to look fresh all day long. Setting the foundation with a finishing powder helps the makeup stay on all day. Loose powders with oil-absorbing minerals work best in setting the makeup. To make the lipstick last longer, apply a thin layer of powder on the lips first before applying the lipstick. Blot gently the first layer of lipstick then apply the second layer of lipstick. Do this until the desired shade of lipstick is achieved.

Waterproof Wedding Makeup

Sweat and tears are always anticipated on weddings. A tearful bride is not an unusual sight during wedding ceremonies so make sure that the makeup you’ll be using on the bride is waterproof like waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Make sure that your eyeliner is smudge proof too. We don’t want the bride to have some hideous raccoon eyes on her very special day.

As long as you arm yourself with the right wedding makeup tips, achieving that perfect wedding makeup will be as easy as pie.

Are you wedding soon? Or are you involved in organizing a wedding that is coming soon? Well if you are, then one thing you need to keep in mind is that you will need a photographer for the event. This is something that many people involved in the organization of weddings tend to forget, till the very last moment. It is one of those things that someone in the wedding committee may remember vaguely, but then drive off their minds with the ‘self consolation’ that they will take care of them as the event draws near.

The truth of the matter is that wedding photography is a very integral part of the modern wedding ceremony. It is something you cannot afford to just wish away. For besides the wedding certificate (which is an important document, definitely not for public display), there is simply no other ‘evidence’ for the wedding that remains, except the wedding photos. Couples that get their wedding photography right go on to have nice looking shots, which they keep in their family albums for posterity, and some of which they actually get framed and display on their living rooms. On the other hand, couples who don’t get their wedding photography right end up with lots of regrets: because for most of us, we only get a single wedding in a lifetime.

You should take care to evaluate how good your considered service providers are with both posed shots and candid shots, for some of the photos in a wedding ceremony will have to be taken on the move (candid).

Second is that that wedding photography is one of the areas where experience really matters. Granted, passion can really make up for things, but when all is said and done, you need someone who has taken photographs in a wedding ceremony, even if only as an apprentice. You need someone who can anticipate situations, so that they can be in a better position to take perfect shots of them.

Third is that in wedding photography, you mostly get what you pay for. You can get someone to do it cheaply, possibly even for free from their phone camera. But if you want professional results, you need to stretch yourself, and pay the rightful price.

Photography done while you are taking a trip or while you are with your friends is extremely different from the photos taken in your marital relationship. You require an accountable photographer making every moment special. A marital relationship is everything about routines and event. Ensure that you have pictures of all the loved ones and friends who visited your marital relationship.

Make sure that you have pictures of every moment in your marital relationship. Be it the ring exchange event or revealing the bride-to-be and the bride and groom’s first kiss. Everything must be maintained in memory so that you call remember them in the future.
