BRIDAL MAKE – UP

BRIDAL MAKE – UP

Gorgeous brides are made, not born. While no one is disputing the power of flawless skin-tone, bone structure and perfect features, natural assets alone do not always make a beautiful bride. There you are, close to the wedding day, stuffed with overly rich festive food, ravaged by celebratory drinks and
baggy-eyed from lack of sleep. “Please! Cover that mirror”
— If that is how you feel currently, relax. Help is at hand.
Though the happy events will bring their own glow to the
face, there are ways to ensure a beautiful you. Here are
some simple tips to cherish, starting today.

THE SHOPPING LIST FOR MAKE-UP
1. Foundations: Buy the one with yellow tones, without any pinks in it. Avoid the light colour foundation tones because your neck will look a shade darker than your face and it will make you look strange.
How to check your base colour:
Apply the foundation under the chin and on the neckline. Leave it on for 40 minutes and check whether it matches your skin-tone in daylight and not in the fluorescent lights of the store.
2. Blusher: Go for bright colours as well as the pale ones such as peach,
But nothing too pale. Also, try the latest colours in browns and shiny tones.
3. Lipstick: The colours that you choose have to complement your skin-tone and outfits you will wear. Test your lipstick on the base of your thumb. Wait for a while to see the real colour emerge. Indulge in the bright shades but stay away from too pale or wishy-washy colours — these can make you look ill!
4. Eye shadow: Take care to choose a colour that complements your skin-tone and the outfits you will wear. Most of the brown/earthy colours are good choices but avoid the very dull or pale colours that make the skin look ashy. contd…….
