 Make-Up
Application Tips
By Leah Steenstra
Okay, let’s “face” it. There are very few women in the
world that are naturally picture perfect.
Luckily, there are many make-up techniques that can help.
What colors are right for your skin tone? How
should your make-up be applied? Here are some general ideas for those of you who are
applying your own make-up on your wedding day.
Colors
-
Do not apply white or black
shadows to your eyes. If you want
to apply a light color, choose light beige.
If a dark look is your thing, go with dark brown or gray.
-
If you have an olive
complexion, avoid shades of gray.
-
If you have a pale
complexion, stay away from bright, vibrant colors.
-
For blush and lipstick,
blondes should go with pink shades, brunettes with peach, and red heads should
go with bronze. Experiment with
different shades of the same base color to find your best look.
-
For a natural look, use brown
mascara.
Application Tips
-
To make your eyes pop, curl
your eyelashes with a lash curler and use several coats of mascara.
-
Apply a light color all over the lid. Use a darker shade for your upper, outer
lid. For deep-set eyes, use another
shade that’s the darkest of the three and apply only to the crease of your
eyelid. Blend well.
-
To apply blush, use a round
tip blush brush and place it on the apple of the cheek. Blend well.
