Wedding & graduation makeup tips
Having your wedding or graduation
day can bring on a lot of emotions! This is that special day that
you've been looking forward to for a long time. A lot of time and
preparetion has been done for this day, and you want to look your
best from the beginning of the day all the way up to the party at
night! Here are a few tips from me as a makeup artist that will
make your makeup last longer throughout the day.
For your special day it's always
a good idea to have it done by a professional. I always advice to
have a trial done before any event so you'll have that perfect look
you want for that special day. Klink here to see my rates and book your appointment
by calling my number +60126727271 or email me on
doriensmobilemakeup@gmail.com. Go for a classic, pretty look. Avoid
doing a trendy look when it comes to graduation or a wedding. The
pictures taken will last you for decades, and you want to look your
best for a long time without looking back at your look thinking
what was I doing?
With every makeup it is impartant
to have a flawless base. Make sure you use your moisturizer
followed by your favourite face primer. A face primer will create a
barrier between your skin and the foundation so the oils of your
skin won't break down your foundation during the day. Also the
primer can help reducing fine lines and reduces redness of the
skin! After the primer I always like to spray MAC fix plus (CA $
24.- ) all over to make the foundation last even longer. (bottom

When choosing your foundation:
try to avoid using one that has sunscreen in them (eg. titanium
dioxide), The SPF in the product is meant to reflect light and
prevent sunburns, but when being photographed with a flash; this
will reflect and wash out the color giving you a ghostly look on
pictures! The day of your wedding / graaduation try to avoid the
sun as much as you can when you're prone to
sunburns.
Use an eye primer! There are many
brands that have eye primers in their line, pick your favourite! My
personal favourite is 'painterly' paintpot by MAC (CA $ 22.-) that
comes in a range of colors to play around with. I apply this cream
base with my finger, it's very easy to use and makes your eyeshadow
stay all day!
Set your foundation with a powder
to make it last and to soften any lines created by the foundation!
The powder will prevent creasing. If you have an oily skin, use a
blot powder and carry this around in your purse to take away the
shine. Be careful with powders that contain light reflecting
particles, this can again, like the foundations with sunscreen,
wash out your face in pictures taken with a flash.
When choosing your lipstick,
choose a color you are comfortable with, and you can touch up
easily. Always use a lip pencil close to the color of your
lipstick, line your lips AND fill in your lips with the pencil to
use this as a base for your lipstick! Check if the lipstick doesn't
transfer on your teeth (like just before having your picture
taken).
Use waterproof Mascara, we all
get a bit emotional on these special days!
Last but not least; Enjoy and
have fun!
