Wedding makeup 2020: fashion trends, photos, new items

Not all brides, unfortunately, have the opportunity to invite a professional makeup artist. If you can’t afford a specialist, don’t be upset, because you can easily do your wedding makeup yourself. On the wedding portal svadebka.ws you will find many useful tips and step-by-step instructions for applying cosmetics to make your festive look flawless. We will tell you how to do festive long-lasting makeup, taking into account the color of your hair and eyes, so that the makeup looks as natural and beautiful as possible and matches the chosen image.

When creating makeup, it is worth considering the order of execution so as not to get confused in the sequence of applying cosmetic products. Arm yourself with brushes and cosmetics and start practicing with us!

Subtleties that are important to remember

Regardless of the makeup style you choose, there are little subtleties that all brides should know.
In addition to the standard set of cosmetics that you use at home every day, to create a festive look you will also need a highlighter and bronzer. These are indispensable assistants for sculpting the face on the occasion of a celebration. There is no need to be afraid of little-known words; in fact, everything is very simple and accessible. Highlighter will give the skin a glowing effect

The highlighter adds radiance to the face; its color comes in different colors and is selected according to your skin type. For a bride with a dark complexion, a golden highlighter will look more harmonious, and for a fair-skinned bride, a soft pink one. A small master class on using highlighter on the face:

The first step is to apply highlighter to the most prominent parts of the cheekbones and give them an attractive shine. The second step is to put a light highlight in the center of the nose, so the face becomes more graceful and attractive. Then apply a small amount of highlighter to the prominent part of the chin.

However, this step will have to be omitted for girls with too large a chin or those who do not want to focus too much attention on it. The inner corners of the eyes are also highlighted with highlighter; this technique works especially well for those who have close eyes.

The final step is to apply highlighter along the contour of the upper lip and in the center of the lower lip. The bride's lips become seductive and the contour more pronounced. Highlighter can also be applied to the middle of the forehead and in the brow area, but only if there is no drooping eyelid or an overly protruding forehead.

This master class would not be complete without information about one more assistant. We are, of course, talking about bronzer. If the use of a highlighter highlights certain areas of the face, then bronzer, on the contrary, helps to make unwanted ones less noticeable. The play of light and shadow will help you make the contour of your face charming and become the brightest, most beautiful and well-groomed bride in the world.

Light makeup for a friend's wedding. How to apply makeup step by step?

Here are step-by-step instructions to apply makeup correctly:

Prepare for make-up in the evening. Apply the mask, cleanse the skin with toner and scrub, massage your face with your fingertips. Tidy up your eyebrows. You can cool your eyelids with ice cubes to remove the tired look.
Apply foundation and blend it with a brush. Make sure there are no streaks or blemishes on your face. We recommend products marked HD: they last for hours and look great in photos.
Conceal under-eye circles, acne and other blemishes with concealer.
Apply loose powder, fix the base with primer so that the makeup does not “smear.”
Emphasize the eyebrow line with a pencil.
Apply eyeshadow primer to your eyelids, then apply the eyeshadow itself. You can do without foundation, but with it the cosmetics will last longer.
If desired, draw arrows with eyeliner.
Lengthen your lashes with waterproof mascara.
Carefully outline the contour of your lips with a pencil, fill them with gloss or lipstick.
Apply blush to your cheekbones. Beautiful makeup for the bridesmaids is ready!

Fans of eco-style prefer mineral cosmetics.

It is useful, but undesirable for wedding makeup. The face will look too pale, especially in the photo

For a holiday you need brighter makeup, and it is better to leave minerals for every day.

Here are the main points that you should definitely consider before doing your wedding makeup:

We recommend focusing either on the lips or the eyes. Retro style allows for both. But usually two bright spots look rude and out of place.
Let your makeup match your outfit. A light nude dress will go well with an airy lace dress, and “Hollywood chic” will suit a frank, bright dress. The severity of the trouser suit is emphasized by smokey eyes.
Don't forget about the lighting in the registry office or restaurant. Dim light may make your face look pale. Therefore, we do not recommend applying too light shadows. Even with modest makeup, it is better to give preference to brown, dark gray or rich yellow colors.
Sometimes bridesmaids deliberately “contrast” with the bride’s style. They seem to create a background, highlighting her advantages. The fragility and femininity of the future wife will be emphasized by bright, slightly provocative makeup for the groom. And if the newlywed is a bright “butterfly”, limit yourself to nude or something more neutral.
Cheekbones can and should be emphasized. Eternal trends are pink or terracotta shades.
When choosing shadows, be guided by both fashion and your eye color. So, gray, light brown, lilac shades are suitable for blue-eyed people. Brown eyes: beige, hazel, blue, green. For green-eyed people, it is better to choose gold, bronze, purple or silver-black shadows. Cool tones (blue, silver) are good for gray eyes, but those with gray-green eyes can try terracotta and copper colors. Black-eyed people prefer plum, honey, lilac, and peach shades.

Wedding makeup for guests

A wedding is always a significant and memorable celebration, and not only the bride gets ready for it several months in advance.

In no case should we forget about such important people as mother and bridesmaids, sisters, aunts and other guests, who should also look beautiful and impeccable. Many people wonder what kind of makeup guests should wear.

Not everyone knows how not to overdo it with bright shades and not look too vulgar, and also how not to overshadow the hero of the occasion with false eyelashes.

Makeup Features

The wedding makeup of the guests, as well as the bride herself, of course, should not be very catchy and provocative. A wedding is a magical celebration with moderate colors, usually in a delicate color palette. Of course, no one canceled bright accents in makeup and eye-catching lipsticks, but there should be moderation in everything.

Today, themed weddings and those where all guests use the same colors in their outfits have become very popular.

Whether these trends came from the West, or arose on their own, there is no point in figuring it out, but they are very popular.

Such celebrations imply not only identical or similar dresses for the bridesmaids, but also makeup in the same style, which will not make everyone look like twins. Makeup artists add a bit of individuality to each lady.

The main question that concerns mothers, witnesses and girlfriends is who to choose when creating makeup for such a serious event.

If you are planning a joint gathering on your wedding day, where your mother and bridesmaids will be present, then an excellent option would be to use the services of a makeup artist. He can easily make everyone beautiful - in a certain and pre-agreed time.

In addition, if all the ladies gather at once, then the makeup artist will be able to help with all the little things in the make-up and even do the same or similar makeup - if necessary.

If you still decide to get together “everyone on your own,” then do not forget to practice in advance with the makeup that you will wear for such an important event.

Make up for mom

One of the main guests of an important wedding celebration, of course, is the mother. I would like to immediately note that the makeup for the mother of the bride must withstand the whole day - tears, laughter, possibly temperature changes. Such makeup should be created using professional and waterproof cosmetics.

It is, of course, better to entrust the makeup of the mother of the bride and mother of the groom to a professional, because on such an important day your hand may tremble, and nothing will work out of excitement.

Whoever you entrust with wedding makeup for your mother, herself or a makeup artist, be sure to pay attention to the following points:

Makeup should be in good harmony with the color of the hair, eyes and outfit.
If the wedding ceremony takes place in the summer or you know that the weather will be hot , then it is better to give preference to light makeup that will not let you down throughout the day.
For mature ladies, it is recommended to use fluid foundations so as not to highlight wrinkles. You can choose light foundation creams with an anti-age effect and special pigments (for natural skin radiance and visual reduction of signs of aging).
For mom, it is best to use a pastel palette of shades in makeup ; it is recommended to use dark colors for accents.

To summarize, we can say that wedding makeup for a mother should be light, festive and subtract a couple of years from her age.

For the witness

Most often, the bride and witness do makeup at the same time, and this is not surprising. They will be with each other all day, which means that their makeup should be in harmony, but not be the same. Some useful tips:

If the bride has delicate makeup in pastel shades , then it makes sense for the witness to choose colors that are a little brighter, but not too provocative.
You can make not very bright smoky eyes.
At the same time, the girl’s skin should be perfectly smooth.
Fluffy eyelashes (but not huge false ones) are welcome , as well as delicate lip glosses and discreet matte lipsticks.
If you do not use the services of a makeup artist , then carefully select a color palette for creating makeup at home. It should be successfully combined with hairstyle, hair color and skin.

For sisters and girlfriends

The bridesmaids and bridesmaid should know in advance what kind of makeup the bride will wear. If it is made in bright and moderate shades, then it makes sense for girlfriends to do contrasting and muted makeup. It is worth considering the following recommendations:

Since this event involves long photo sessions , the skin of the bridesmaids (as well as her own) must be perfect. An excellent option would be to use foundations from the professional brand Smashbox, whose products are specifically aimed at numerous photo shoots. They definitely won't let you down.
Don't forget about eyebrow shaping . Their shapes should be clear, and the hairs should be styled.
It is better to use mineral or transparent powder ; an excellent option would be to use highlighters and illuminators to give a natural glow to the skin.
Eyes can be covered with plain, soft shadows (or in a combination of several shades, between which there should be smooth transitions).
Eyelashes should not be so long that they touch the eyebrows . It’s better to stick with voluminous mascara and not go too overboard.
An excellent option would be to use transparent voluminous lip glosses or matte lipsticks..

We can say that makeup for bridesmaids and witnesses should be moderate - and not provocative. After all, this is not a party at a club, but a gala event, which has its own limits of behavior, because guests of all ages gather here.

Interview with a stylist: bridesmaids makeup for a wedding

Professional stylist Tatyana Didievich (Moscow) kindly agreed to answer current questions related to wedding makeup. This article will be useful for those who are planning to attend a wedding as a guest or bridesmaid.

Make Up for girlfriends

− Tatyana, hello! Please tell us what makeup should be like for bridesmaids?

− Very often the bridesmaids (or witness) look forward to the wedding no less than the bride herself. For them, this event is quite important and bright, so they also want to look accordingly.

Makeup for such an event can be anything: from delicate and natural “nude” to bright and bold “smoky eyes” .

It is worth immediately noting that “smoky eyes” are not only the predominance of dark shadows, as is commonly believed. “Smoky” can also be made in gray, brown, plum tones, etc.

When creating makeup, it is important to take into account the overall image (outfit, hairstyle), as well as the color scheme chosen by the bride and groom for the wedding.

For example, if the color scheme is supposed to be pastel colors and the outfit is chosen in accordance with this, then you can do nude makeup
or light daytime makeup .
If the wedding color is, for example, wine, I would recommend choosing a lipstick of a similar shade and making arrows on the eyes. Interesting solutions are obtained when newlyweds choose rainbow wedding colors, where the palette of shades is very diverse: yellow, purple, and green. In this situation, you can put a bright emphasis on the eyes . For example, apply some kind of makeup that is familiar to you, but complicate it by adding bright pigments to the upper eyelid area.

Naturally, makeup is a very individual thing ; there are no universal tips. Arrows may not suit some people, but for others it is very beautiful with a smokey eye. I advise you to try and choose the makeup that will highlight your beauty and delicately hide possible imperfections.

Professional recommendations

− Tatyana, what recommendations can you give regarding makeup to girls who are going to a wedding as bridesmaids?

Preparation

− For any makeup, it is important to prepare the skin. On well-moisturized and cleansed skin, makeup is much easier to apply, it will look more professional and last longer .

One or two days before the celebration, it is recommended to do a little scrubbing (for example, use a foam wash with small exfoliating particles), and then apply a previously proven moisturizing or nourishing mask for the face and neck .

If you use these simple ways to prepare your skin, you will significantly reduce the time you spend on makeup. The skin will look well-groomed, and no additional manipulations will be required in the process of creating makeup.

The makeup of the bridesmaids, like the bride herself, should be long-lasting . Therefore, if in everyday make-up you do not use a base that matches the tone, in this situation I would advise not to neglect it.

For example, if your skin is prone to dryness , you can use a blue base from Make Up Forever .

Primer from MAC is suitable if, on the contrary, you have oily skin.

A more budget-friendly, but very versatile product that I really like to use before makeup is the Perfect Skin from PRO MAKE UP . Suitable for both oily skin and skin prone to dryness.

If the skin is oily , then literally a drop is needed, warmed between the palms and applied to the face with massage movements.

One of the rules of makeup artists is that fat removes fat . About a week before the event, you can try to eliminate the problem of oily skin:

Apply oil to skin where the sebaceous glands are working overtime, for example, all the same oil from PRO MAKEUP . Only not just a drop, but a little more, and not under makeup, but as an independent care product.
Leave the product on for a couple of hours (you can even overnight). Excess can be removed with a napkin or washed off.
Repeat the procedure daily.
In a few days, the sebaceous glands will “understand” that they do not need to “work” so actively, that the skin’s fat is already in perfect order, therefore, they will begin to work normally .

This foundation is also perfect for dry skin. It can be applied with a pipette, which is located in the cap of the tube.

Apply the product immediately to all areas of the face, drop by drop: on the forehead, cheeks and chin . You need to distribute the foundation on your face using massage movements. The tone after this procedure lies perfectly evenly.

Eyes

To ensure that the shadows do not crease and last until you decide to wash them off, it is best to use an eye shadow base .

Use your favorite base, and if you don’t have one yet, you can find the right one at your nearest cosmetic store. A wide range is presented both in professional cosmetics and in cosmetics for the mass segment.

Brows

Many girls pay special attention to their eyebrows when creating their makeup. Gone are the days when thinly plucked eyebrows were in fashion. The trend now is for wide natural eyebrows.

If you are the owner of beautiful thick eyebrows, then you are very lucky. There is no need to use any cosmetics or add additional finishing touches.

However,
I would recommend using an eyebrow gel . It will help you neatly lay your hair and give it a well-groomed appearance. For example, gel from Art Visage is a very affordable price and excellent quality.
If for some reason the eyebrows look quite asymmetrical, and in some places hair growth has stopped, then this can be corrected by using one of the following remedies:

eyebrow pencil;
eyebrow shadows;
eyebrow pomade.

Most often, eyebrow pencils are sold with a hair comb (usually it is placed on the cap of such a comb). I recommend that you remember to use it. Simple and effective steps:

Comb eyebrows;
Draw with a pencil where necessary;
Comb again to blend the pencil and give it a more natural look.

Other eyebrow products that require a little more skill to use are eyebrow shadows and pomade .

You can use shadows to give your eyebrows a general shape , adjust it if necessary, and with fondant you can literally fill in the missing hairs.

Makeup lesson

Now let's try to do the simplest, but incredibly beautiful wedding makeup step by step, with our own hands. This option is suitable for any eye and hair color.

So, we will start our wedding makeup with cleansing and moisturizing the skin. This must be done before applying cosmetics. Even if you did all these procedures in the morning. Just don't overdo it with moisturizer - you risk getting an oily sheen. Use your usual means. Apply a base for foundation and eye shadow to your face. As mentioned above, she is the best friend of longevity and matte. You need very little base or primer: just a drop of product is enough, which will be distributed over the face with your hands. Then we apply foundation to match the color of the skin, if possible using a special brush, for example, a “petal” brush, which you can see in the photo.

The next step will involve a kind of facial correction and may scare you not only with the complexity caused by the term itself, but also with the seeming “abundance” of tonal products on the face. This is not at all the case, since the base, in addition to its main function, will also serve as a leveling agent, allowing you to subsequently use a significantly smaller amount of foundation. Also, this technique of applying makeup will help to convey the color of blush or eye shadow exactly as it is in the palette and you will not have to achieve the intensity of the shades layer by layer. Make the correction in accordance with the rules for correcting your particular face type. But if you sorely lack time to study the basics of correction, then resort to the help of such a technique as contouring, as we did: with a dark corrector, darken the cheekbones, the borders of the forehead and chin and the wings of the nose, and highlight the cheekbone, the area under the eyebrow, and the back with a light one nose and edge of the upper lip. You will see a more accurate diagram in the photo. You can’t even imagine how much your face will transform after these simple machinations. To complete your face correction, use your favorite blush, which you can apply with your hands. The main thing is to observe moderation: wedding makeup implies a fresh and youthful face, covered with natural, light shades, and not painted colors for a wedding cake.

Traditionally, eye makeup begins with eyebrows, and wedding makeup will be no exception. To do this, apply a pencil or shadow in a natural shade or a little darker to the previously adjusted shape. Fill in any gaps and make the brow tail a little longer and sharper. So that all your work does not go to waste, use a gel to fix your eyebrows. For the makeup of the eyes themselves, we will take shades that suit absolutely everyone: sand, golden, brown, pearlescent and black. We apply a delicate shade of sand shadows to the entire eyelid, and decorate the space under the eyebrow and the inner corner with a pearlescent shade. Apply brown shadows to the outer corner and crease of the eyelid, drawing the desired shape of the eye. Shading them well, extending the pattern a little towards the temple and connecting it with the lower eyelid, onto which we also apply a little dark shadow

It is important to note that the pattern of shadows in the photo is due to this exact shape of the eye.

We cannot deprive wedding makeup of its shine, and therefore we apply a drop of golden or some other pastel shiny shadows to the middle of the eyelid. This will give the look an attractive look and a festive look. We draw the outer eyelid with a neat black arrow, the tail of which slightly continues the shadow pattern. Apply generous amounts of mascara to your eyelashes, but be sure to comb them with a clean brush to avoid lumps. If you wish, you can use false eyelashes or separate bunches, but in the photo we only used mascara. But you still decide to stick on eyelashes, the main thing is not to overdo it: you should look natural. We draw the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a milky pencil.

With this eye makeup, it is not necessary to make your lips stand out very brightly: lipstick or gloss will be enough for them, which will be the same tone or slightly darker than the natural shade. We start makeup with the lips, designing them with a pencil of the same color as the lipstick, but we outline not only the contour, but the entire space of the lips. This will enhance the color of the lipstick or gloss and make the product last longer. Blend it a little with your hands, making the lines and color more natural. Apply lipstick or gloss on top with your hands. In the photo we used translucent gloss. Well, that’s all, we have created a delicate and romantic wedding makeup with our own hands! Secure the result with a couple of brush strokes with loose powder and run to the registry office!

Bridal makeup: everything you wanted to know

What makeup trends are worth highlighting this season? How to find your makeup artist? Why do you need a wedding makeup rehearsal? How to plan the bride's morning? Wedding asked Elena Yasenkova, a secular makeup artist and hair stylist, to answer these questions.

Elena Yasenkova, social makeup artist and hair stylist

Elena, what are the features of wedding makeup and what problems should it solve?

– The first mandatory condition is to leave the bride with you. Of course, we need to emphasize the advantages and smooth out imperfections, but the most important thing is that the bride is recognized not by her white dress, but by her appearance. The goal of a makeup artist is not to show the skill of makeup as such, but to create a pretty image, giving it freshness and radiance from the inside. But at the same time, makeup should reflect the character of the bride, her inner world, and correspond to her. If in everyday life a girl always paints her eyes and lips brightly, then wedding makeup cannot be nude.

Also, the makeup should match the wedding dress. The style of the dress will determine the hairstyle, jewelry, veil and other accessories. And at the same time, it is important to maintain the overall style and mood of the entire wedding. Everything should be visually consistent and harmonious, in a single composition. A professional takes into account all the nuances.

How does the idea of wedding makeup come about? What primarily influences the choice – the appearance of the bride or the concept and style of the celebration?

– It is also important what suits the girl herself in terms of facial anatomy, and her wishes. But at the same time, it is worth considering the concept and mood of the event. Let's say you are planning a wedding in the style of the 60s and 70s and it is logical to use arrows in makeup, but if they do not suit the bride, the makeup artist should offer another solution. The bride is the main character of the evening, and the main goal is to make her the most beautiful on this day.

In addition to the above, the makeup artist must take into account eye color. The main task of any makeup is to highlight the eyes. If the makeup complements the eye color, it is a harmonious makeup.

Also, a lot depends on the location and time of year. On hot islands, makeup can be radiant, sunny, with a minimum of products.

What is most relevant today?

– If we talk about the image of the bride, then these are light curls, makeup in golden, golden-pink shades, a pleasant glow, neat arrows, an emphasis on bright blush that gives rise to candy, candy associations. A feeling of tenderness when looking at the bride is the current trend.

How to find your own makeup artist for a celebration?

– Where and how to look for a makeup artist is the most popular question. Of course, it is best to use word of mouth. However, as they say, trust the advice of your friends, but check. Be sure to look at what images the specialist created earlier. Today, Instagram is a big helper in your search. Using the correct hashtags you can find a master who will definitely not let you down. Pay special attention to videos on Instagram, because photos often do not convey the quality of a makeup artist’s work. Video is more realistic. And another tip: talk to girls who have already had their makeup done by this specialist. And, if your budget allows, do a test or rehearsal with a makeup artist.

Does the bride need to select examples of work that she likes in advance?

– It is a very correct decision if the bride comes to a specialist with her pictures and wishes. Then the makeup artist comes into play, recommending which image will suit both her and the overall concept. It is also advisable to have a photograph of the dress: this way you will absolutely come to mutual understanding.

Do you think a rehearsal is necessary?

– Personal acquaintance, or better yet, rehearsal is an important part in the process of creating an image. In addition to looking for the right makeup concept, you come to understand what really suits you. But it is equally important to understand whether a specialist is suitable for you emotionally, and whether communication with him does not cause discomfort. A wedding is a special day. There is no need for unnecessary worries. A lot depends on the makeup artist - your attitude and mood, because you will spend the first hours of such an important day together!

How long before the event should you conduct a makeup rehearsal?

– It can take place in a month or a week. But it is important that during the time between the rehearsal and the wedding itself, you do not change much in appearance: we are talking, for example, about a tan. And so that you have the opportunity, if you don’t like the specialist, to change and have time to do a test with another makeup artist.

Ideal timing of meetings and communication with a makeup artist?

– It’s worth looking for your master at least six months in advance. Many makeup artists have appointments starting from September for the next year, so first of all evaluate the demand for a specialist. It is advisable to book a specialist in advance with prepayment and signing of the contract. Having received such a guarantee, you will definitely be sure that the makeup artist will not change his mind about working with you at the very last moment.

On your part, this also ensures that the decision does not change. When it comes to choosing wedding makeup, you need to take into account the readiness of the dress, as well as the overall concept and design of the wedding. Once you understand who the organizer will be, you can safely schedule a meeting. And the sooner this happens, the better.

How to properly plan the bride's morning, how much time will it take?

– The makeup itself with styling can take 1.5 hours if specialists work intensively. But it’s better to allow at least 2.5 hours. Why, you ask? This is the morning of the bride: photographers and videographers arrive, you can feel nervous tension, and it would also be nice to drink delicious coffee and taste breakfast. And throughout the entire process you need to take high-quality shots. Personally, I allow an extra hour for force majeure. For example, the bride gets very nervous and suddenly asks to redo her look. Until this moment, pink shades were great, but now they suddenly irritate me. In such a situation, the makeup artist must show flexibility and professionalism: take into account new wishes and create a first-class image, even if it differs from the first agreements.

Elena, what is the most important advice you would share with brides?

– The first tip is very simple: go to bed early the night before. Even if you can’t sleep, lie down and rest, because the day ahead is not easy, and a sleep-deprived face does not look good on anyone.

On your wedding day, it is also important to remember a simple truth: no matter what happens, even if something goes wrong (and it usually does), enjoy every moment. Delegate control to anyone, and have fun yourself.

And most importantly, take everything for granted: you can’t change the flowers, you can’t change the dress, just be happy, be here and now. It's your day. The best!

Master class wedding makeup step by step with photos

Let's try to figure out how to do wedding makeup yourself. Wedding makeup at home can turn out no worse than in the salon, if you follow the basic rules for applying decorative cosmetics and create wedding makeup step by step.

Step one. Cleansing and moisturizing.

Preliminary thorough cleansing of the skin is an indispensable condition for perfect wedding makeup! Different skin types are cleansed in different ways - either with mattifying tonics and lotions, or with cosmetic milk.

Next, the cleansed skin of the face and neck must be moisturized with a light day cream. A special moisturizer should also be applied to the area around the eyes. The cream must be left on the skin for at least 5-10 minutes.

Step two. Skin toning for wedding makeup

An important stage in wedding make-up is creating the effect of smooth matte skin! This can be achieved using various tonal products. When creating bridal makeup, it is preferable to use transparent water-based foundations. They perfectly even out skin tone, giving it a flawless look. In addition, such creams are weightless and do not weigh down makeup at all.

If your skin is problematic and you need to disguise some imperfections, you can use concealer (corrector) and foundation powder.

A spot corrector will help hide various redness on the skin, small pimples and dark circles under the eyes, and foundation powder will provide problem skin with an even, fairly dense coverage.

Apply foundation to the skin using light movements using your fingers or a damp sponge.

When toning the skin, we must not forget about the boundary between the neck and face. The foundation must be thoroughly blended

There should be no visible boundary between different zones! This is especially important if the bride is wearing a dress with open shoulders and a deep neckline

Step three. Tone fixation.

The skin tone must be set using transparent loose powder, which is applied to the face, neck and décolleté with a large round brush. Toning problem skin can be completed using compact powder.

Step four. Eye decoration for wedding makeup at home

The main emphasis when performing wedding makeup is always on the mirror of the soul - the eyes!

When decorating the bride's eyes, you should remember that in wedding make-up there is an unspoken ban on clear graphic lines! Dramatic dark shadows and black eyeliner pencils are also discouraged.

Both blondes and brunettes are recommended to use soft, discreet colors in their makeup. Recommended colors for eyeshadow include smoky gray, honey, beige, pink, pale lilac, turquoise, olive tones. Pencils can be brown or dark gray. White pencil is also actively used in wedding make-up.

The design of the eyes begins with the eyelids. The eyelids are pre-matted using a special base or beige shadows. Next, companion shadows are alternately applied to the eyelids - light ones on the inner corner of the eye and darker ones on the outer corners of the eyes. The border between the shadows is carefully shaded.

In order to open the eyes, the lower eyelid is usually lined with a white (or beige) pencil. The interciliary space of the upper eyelid is painted over with a dark (but not black!) pencil. It is best to use waterproof mascara.

By the way, the bride is not forbidden to glue several artificial eyelashes to create a deep look. It is recommended to avoid decorating your eyelids with sparkling rhinestones - rhinestones glare and may not look the best in wedding photographs.

Step five. Do-it-yourself wedding eyebrow makeup

Eyebrows should be in perfect shape for your wedding day. It is better to correct the shape of the eyebrows in advance, because if you do this on the wedding day, the eyebrows may turn red. If the eyebrows are already in order, all that remains is to lightly outline them with a special pencil (the color of the pencil should match the color of the bride’s hair). Tinted eyebrows need to be combed and secured with a special gel.

Step six. How to do wedding lip makeup yourself?

Since in wedding make-up the main emphasis is almost always on the eyes, lips, as a rule, are decorated with soft lipstick or gloss in delicate berry tones.

The bride can also use long-lasting lipstick that stays on her lips for a very long time without updating. However, you should keep in mind that this lipstick dries your lips very much, so it is better to combine long-lasting lipstick with gloss of a suitable shade.

How to do wedding makeup yourself: step-by-step technique

How to do your own wedding makeup? Firstly, use good quality decorative cosmetics; in the event of a wedding, it’s not worth the risk. Secondly, wedding makeup should be more intense than everyday makeup (about 1-2 tones). Then it will look advantageous both in person and in the photo.

Svadbaholik.ru will give some tips regarding the main stages of step-by-step application of holiday makeup, which will help you do the make-up yourself.

Step #1: Preparing the Skin

After basic care (cleansing, toning, moisturizing), let the skin “rest” for about 20 minutes so that the cream is absorbed, and then blot your face with a napkin, removing excess products.

Step #2: Ideal Skin Tone

The basis of the wedding makeup technique is to even out the skin tone. We start by applying the foundation using patting movements with our fingertips or spreading it over the face with a brush. Remember that the color of the foundation should match your skin color. Be sure to blend the border between the face and neck, making a smooth transition.

A concealer will do a great job with problem areas of the skin around the eyes. Apply the product to the eyelid and under the eyes using light tapping movements. Finally, apply a thin layer of powder all over your face and neck.

Tip: makeup for a summer wedding should be more durable and matte, especially if the weather promises to be hot. Mattifying wipes are also an excellent solution.

Step #3: Eyebrows

An impeccable eyebrow shape is a prerequisite for successful makeup, so take care of this a few days before the wedding. You can draw eyebrows with a pencil or shadows. Next, they need to be combed and fixed with a special gel.

Step #4: Eyes

Before applying eye shadow, you must use an eye shadow primer. It will keep your makeup fresh until the end of the day. Shadows should be applied in a certain way: light ones on the inner corner of the eyelid, darker ones on the outer corner. For example, you can choose a palette with a spectrum from light beige to dark brown. Then the step-by-step description of applying eye shadow in wedding makeup looks like this.

Use the lightest shade to paint the area under the eyebrows, followed by the inner corner and 1/3 of the eyelid. Apply brown color to the crease of the eyelid and its moving part and shade it, and apply the darkest shade to the outer corner.

We draw the edge of the eyelash with eyeliner or a pencil, and apply waterproof mascara to the eyelashes. Black arrows are gradually going out of fashion. So, in the case of wedding makeup in 2020, stylists suggested focusing not on eyeliner, but on sparkling shadows. In 2020, this trend continues.

Step #5: Blush and Highlighter

Blush will give your face freshness. The shade that suits you should be chosen according to the color type. For fair skin, light pink or peach is suitable, for dark skin - apricot or cherry.

Applying highlighter correctly will help your skin glow. It is applied to the protruding parts of the face. To enlarge your forehead, apply highlighter to the front of it. Visual face lifting is achieved by applying the product to the cheekbones. An open look will help create highlighter on the inner corner of the eyes. It is also applied under the eyebrows, on the tip of the nose, the hollow above the upper lip and chin.

Step #6: Lips

You can draw on your lips with a long-lasting pencil or apply matte lipstick. The shade must correspond to the color type:

For brunettes with porcelain skin (winter color type), bright and saturated colors are the most suitable.
Red-haired brides (“autumn”) can wear lipstick in warm colors with a golden tint.
A bride with a “summer” color type will look beautiful with lipstick in cool tones, such as pearlescent pink.
Light brown girls with a warm skin tone (“spring”) can choose warm colors for their lips.

In order to do your own wedding makeup, try going through the step-by-step instructions provided several times. Focus on your skin color, use high-quality cosmetics and surprise with your beauty not only on your wedding day!

What is the difference between wedding makeup and evening makeup?

Both wedding and evening makeup are designed to highlight the beauty and individuality of a woman. However, when performing these types of makeup, there are significant differences both in the selection of the palette of cosmetics and in the procedure itself.

Brides in most cases prefer subtle makeup. This means that light shades of shadows, soft lipstick and delicate blush are used. In evening makeup, bright or dark colors are preferable, looking impressive and expressive only in artificial lighting.

Makeup durability is an important factor. And if the bride’s makeup should remain fresh for half a day, then evening makeup is done for several hours, so there is no need to think about its durability.

Wedding lip makeup

Before applying lipstick, place it in the refrigerator for several hours. This way you will achieve maximum durability of the lipstick on your lips.
Lip makeup must begin with a contour. Draw the outline of your lips with a pencil and then apply lipstick. Apply lipstick with a brush in several layers.
Use long-lasting lipstick. But remember: you can only erase it with the help of special cosmetics.
After applying lipstick, apply gloss to your lips. You can take it with you and update it throughout the day.

Our wedding portal www.svadbagolik.ru will also give you some tips on correcting your makeup during the day:

There is no need to constantly powder your face, as after a while there will be uneven layers of powder on your face. To remove fat from your face, use better mattifying wipes.
There are also colorless “anti-shine” powders that effectively remove oily shine and make the skin matte.
If you use blush, then give preference to cream ones, as they go on smoothly and do not crease.

Eye makeup taking into account their color: application techniques

A little higher, we drew your attention to the fact that you should choose an eye makeup option, taking into account their color. Let's look at this topic in more detail: below we have collected detailed video instructions on makeup for brown, blue, green and gray eyes

Brown eye makeup

Products of almost any shade are suitable for you, but do not forget about an important rule: light colors make your eyes appear larger, while dark colors, on the contrary, can visually reduce them. Don't neglect metallic shades, they will look very impressive. Don't be afraid to use colored mascara - purple or blue

It will suit you perfectly!

Brown-eyed girls can experiment even with a bright pink shade of eyeshadow.

Blue eye makeup

Emphasize the color of your eyes using shades with warm pigments - caramel, peach, coffee.
Blue or cyan shadows are also acceptable, but their color does not have to exactly match the color of your eyes, so choose options that are one or two shades lighter or darker.
Feel free to use all shades of purple (from lavender to dove) and don’t neglect bright eyeliners that will add the necessary zest to your look.

Green eye makeup

The same rule is relevant for you as for girls with blue eyes: the most advantageous products will be from warm colors.
Plum, eggplant and other shades of purple will perfectly highlight the beauty of your eyes. The secret is simple: purple is located opposite green on the color wheel, so it creates an expressive contrast with it.
Shades from the red range (like brick or terracotta) are also suitable for you, but be careful: the red pigment on the eyelids will highlight any redness on the skin, so make sure that the tone is perfect.

Makeup for gray eyes

If nature has blessed you with gray eyes, avoid dull shades - beige and inexpressive pink shades will make your face look tired.
Choose eye makeup products in cool colors: blue, turquoise, purple. By the way, the latter go well with fair skin.
To “turn” gray eyes into blue, use products in blue tones.

Rules for applying wedding makeup at home

Any bride can do her own wedding makeup if she wishes. The choice of the ideal make-up depends on the girl’s style and the look she will wear at the wedding. He can be both strict and gentle and romantic. Do-it-yourself makeup should be combined with the chosen dress and accessories. Experts do not advise wearing too bright makeup, which will look downright vulgar on such a romantic holiday.

Facial skin cleansing

The first step before applying wedding makeup with your own hands is to thoroughly cleanse your facial skin. To do this, use a scrub or peeling. After this, treat your face with an alcohol-free toner and apply a day moisturizer. Then you need to wait a little while the product is absorbed, making the surface of the skin more even. Only after this proceed to applying foundation.

Applying concealers

It is recommended to apply foundation with a sponge, thanks to which the mattifying product will apply evenly. Apply the cream with light patting movements. Don't forget also about the neck and décolleté area. Otherwise, there is a high probability of getting the effect of a contrast mask on the face. To set the foundation, use powder. Apply powder using a powder puff and remove excess makeup with a large brush.

Eyebrow correction

Even an elegant, delicate look will be ruined by poorly shaped eyebrows.

This area of the face should be given special attention, because eyebrows can transform any make-up. Corrections should be made in advance

To make your eyebrows clearer and more expressive, tint them with a pencil or special shadows with a brush. Blondes should choose a light shade of brown, redheads should choose brown, brunettes should choose dark brown or black.

Eye makeup

After shaping your eyebrows in the process of applying wedding makeup, you need to move on to your eyes. Often, successfully doing eye makeup with your own hands the first time is not so easy. It would be a good idea to first familiarize yourself with photo and video tutorials on applying professional wedding makeup. The color of the shadows in each individual case should be selected individually. Each shade should be applied with a separate brush. Experts strongly recommend using only waterproof mascara.

To give your eyes expressiveness and make them more impressive, use false eyelashes or special bunches that are attached to the outer corner of the eye. After the artificial eyelashes are securely fixed, paint them with mascara. Finally, curl them slightly using a special eyelash curler.

Cheekbones and lips

Do-it-yourself wedding makeup involves the use of blush, which will help hide imperfections and highlight the advantages of the bride’s face shape. It is preferable to choose natural shades that are as close as possible to the natural complexion. Apply blush using a large brush to the upper protruding area of the cheeks. Shimmering powder with a light pink tint applied to the cheekbones, forehead, and chin will help make your skin lighter.

The choice of lipstick color or gloss for wedding makeup depends entirely on the preferences of the bride. Some girls want to highlight a charming smile with rich red or cherry color, while others plan to focus on their eyes. The basic rule for choosing lipstick or gloss for DIY wedding make-up is that the cosmetics should be as long-lasting as possible. The lipstick should also be moisturizing so that the lips do not look tight.

Doing your own makeup

A wedding can take place at different times of the year; the set of cosmetics most often depends on this criterion. During hot periods, be sure to stock up on thermal water. It tones and moisturizes the skin. This allows the makeup to last all day without any problems.

During cold periods, it is recommended to use a special silicone base. It makes it possible to create a kind of film on the skin that protects the face from frost and prevents it from turning red.

Applying cosmetics at home

During the hot season, the following set should be used:

thermal water;
light foundation;
corrector;
means for fixing make-up;
eyeliner;
