Pictures are worth a thousand words. You want all those words about your wedding photos to be great.

If you’re not planning to hire a professional make-up artist, doing your own make-up for your wedding and the photos can be tricky. With some do’s and don’ts, I’ll help you have the perfect wedding photos.

Do’s

Go heavy. The camera has a way of washing you out.
Focus on one feature (i.e. eyes or lips). Most brides choose their eyes.
Match your foundation closely to your skin tone.
Conceal any imperfections with a concealer that is lighter than the foundation.
Use lighter matte colors.
Use liner from center to outer edge of your eye. This opens the eye.
Use waterproof liner and mascara or have your lashes tinted before the big day and use clear mascara.
Use the same color lip liner and lip stick.
Use liner over the whole lip, then apply lipstick. It will last longer kiss after kiss!
Carry a small make-up bag, include powder, lipstick, foundation and liner for touchups.
Practice before, have a friend take some photos, You’ll be able to see if your choices are right. Play and have fun!

Make Up Tips for a Perfect Wedding

Don’ts

Be too light with your make-up.
Be afraid to cry.
Make your eye liner too heavy. It can make you look tired.
Use shimmer shadow. It makes you look sweaty in photos.
Go too heavy with concealer.
Go too dark with foundation.
Make your lip color too dark.
Use any shimmer make-up!
