Bridal make-up for perfect wedding pictures

The pictures of your wedding will last forever and are usually the most seen from the family album. Professional photographers and make-up artists and hair stylists know perfectly hot to make outstand your most suitable features in front of the camera.

Here we give you some make-up and hair tips you should take into account for the photo shoot.

Make-up base: Always remember that the base must be applied on your neck. It must be form a color similar to the tone of your neck’s skin. Choose yellowish tones; forget about the pinks and browns. If you have a perfect skin you don’t need to worry about this.

Always choose matte products: you have to try shades barely darker than your skin’s color, so it looks natural on the pictures.

Forget of the glows around the eyes and on the cheeks: Any skin imperfection or expression wrinkles will be remarked by the flash.

Dull lips: Avoid using gloss, but apply a hydrant before painting them if you have dry lips.
Avoid places with too much sunlight or direct light: Places with shadows or sifted lights are ideal.

Black and white: If you go for black and white pictures, get them after the pictures in color, since the make-up with the first ones is totally different and more remarked, pastel colors look very well in a color picture, but practically fade in a clack and white picture. Try to remark your make-up with brown tones and red for the lips.

Watch the eyebrows: Most times, in short shots they look messy and artificial, use shadows and a fine brush to retouch them. Never use pencils.

Simple does: Never apply to many products on your hair; they make it look too rigid. If you like to wear it tied up, nothing like a chignon.

Relax…To look perfect on pics. Having a massage the day before is a good idea.

Natural bridal bouquet: if your bouquet is made from natural flowers, you should have two of them: one for the photo shoot and another one for the ceremony.

Sleep well: Taking a good rest the bight before is fundamental for beauty and especially for pictures.
