As you start planning for the weddings you’ll attend this year, don’t forget that makeup is an essential factor in achieving a flawless look. We’re here to share some beauty tricks that will help you look stunning at any event without appearing too heavily made-up.
If you’re attending a daytime wedding, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with our natural wedding makeup ideas that will let you highlight your clothing and accessories, or even do your makeup, in just a few simple steps.
Cream blushes
Cream-toned makeup products have the advantage of being long-lasting and providing a natural, youthful glow to the face. Cream blush, in particular, can bring luminosity to your cheeks without the need for excessive makeup. You can achieve a radiant and tanned appearance by combining it with peach or pink tones. A soft touch of blush can make a huge difference in enhancing your overall look and creating an unbeatable appearance.
To apply cream blush, simply use your fingers to blend the product onto your cheeks. You can start by applying a small amount and building it up gradually until you achieve your desired level of pigmentation. Cream blush can also be layered over powder blush for a more long-lasting effect.
Illuminator
The highlighter is a versatile product that can be used to enhance certain areas of the face and create a natural makeup look. When applied correctly, it can help you achieve a glowing, dewy complexion without the need for heavy makeup.
To use an illuminator, apply it to the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and the inner corners of your eyes. This will help to create a bright and youthful look that appears natural and effortless. When selecting an illuminator, look for one that is lightweight and easy to blend, so that you can achieve a seamless finish.
Contouring
Contouring involves using darker shades to create shadows on the face, which can help to enhance certain features and create a more sculpted appearance. Although contouring is often associated with heavy makeup, it can also be used to create a natural look when done correctly.
To contour your face, select a matte bronzer that is a few shades darker than your skin tone.
Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, the sides of your nose, and your forehead to create the illusion of depth and dimension. Blend it well using a brush or sponge to avoid harsh lines and achieve a natural finish.
Eye shadows
Eye shadow can be used to enhance the eyes and create a natural, subtle look. When selecting eye shadows for a daytime event, it is best to stick to neutral tones such as vanilla, beige, or pink, or earth tones such as brown, orange, or green.
To apply eyeshadow, start by selecting a light shade to use as a base. Apply it all over your lid using a brush or your fingertip. Next, select a slightly darker shade and apply it to the crease of your eyelid, blending well to create a seamless transition between the two shades. You can also use a small amount of darker shadow along your lash line to define your eyes and create a natural-looking eyeliner effect. Finish off the look with a coat of waterproof mascara to enhance your lashes and make your eyes pop.
