Top Tips For Gorgeous Wedding Hairstyles and Makeup
Choose Wedding Hairstyles that Suit Your Face Shape
Brides with rounder faces should choose styles with their hair up high. So consider a topknot or a cascade of curls piled on top of the head which will have the effect of making your face look shapelier. That being said, long, sleek hairstyles will also suit. Brides with heart-shaped faces will look less angular with styles that create width at the chin such as well-cut bobs or soft waves that curl around the jaw-line, whilst brides with long faces need styles that add width and volume to the sides of their faces. Try bringing forward some wisps of hair to sit just in front of your ears. Experienced and talented hair stylists like Sarah from Melbourne's Designed for Brides, can adapt most wedding hairstyles to suit the shape of your face.
Choose the Right Makeup for your Complexion
Basically there are two colour palettes when considering wedding makeup– warm and cool. Warm colours of plum, cream, taupe and copper complement brunettes. Blue-grey, teal, white, pink and lavender suit cool blondes whilst terracotta, peach, moss-green and grey shades look great on redheads. If in doubt, go straight to a professional makeup artist such as Kristy Nuttall, stylist to the stars who will recommend the best colours for you.
Waterproof Mascara is a Bride's Best Friend
You'd be surprised at just how many brides get a little teary and emotional on their wedding day. To look like a princess rather than a panda don't leave home without that essential piece of makeup.
Use Foundation, Concealer and Powder
Even if you don't normally use these products, make them a part of your wedding day routine because they will even out your skin tone and give you a smooth complexion. Make sure the products match your skin tone as naturally as possible and blend, blend, blend. If foundation isn't your forte and blending is too heart-rending, trial airbrush makeup. Magical Makeovers specialise in airbrushing with makeup, a new technique that produces the flawless skin that you often see on movie-stars - and it's guaranteed to last too!
Don't get a Facial the Week Before
Unless you have them on a regular basis, a facial will just pull the impurities to the surface and cause you to breakout. Don't make any changes to your skincare products or makeup in the weeks leading up to the event either if you want to look as flawless as possible.
