Applying Bridal Makeup and Choosing a Stylist for Day or Night Weddings for Professional Looking Results

 

Choosing a Make-up and Hair Stylist for Your Wedding Day

Hiring a makeup artist to first conceptualize your wedding look and then applyyour makeup on the day of the wedding is a smart move. If you can afford thetime and money, having the entire bridal party done by a professional will makeyour bridesmaids and your mom look their best for the photos, too. TraditionalIndian weddings involve painting the hands and feet with henna as well asapplying cosmetics and dressing the bride in her wedding sari: in the past, thewomen in the family readied the bride for her wedding, but with more familiesliving far apart, brides are opting to bring in experts to help the wedding gosmoothly.

Plan ahead to get the right professional bridal make-up artist

Choosing a stylist is a little tricky and shouldn't be done at the last moment.If you don't already have a favorite stylist, don't just pick the first one youmeet unless you have an instant rapport. Shop around: ask to see theirportfolios, talk with them about your ideas and the styles you are planning toevoke at your wedding. Look for someone who has similar taste and who wants tosupport your dreams on your wedding day. Equally important is reliability: askfor references and call the stylists' old clients to ask a few questions. Didthe stylist show up on time? Was he or she prepared, having brought the toolsneeded to get the job done? And was the bride comfortable with stating herwishes and getting what she wanted from the stylist?

Have a mock-up or trial run with the professional stylist before making a final decision

Once you've narrowed your choices down to two or three (having already made surethey aren't booked on the date of your wedding), visit the stylist and have atrial run of the makeup you want to wear for your wedding. Talk about thelighting where the ceremony and reception will be held, and the look you wantfor your photos, which should influence the cosmetics you use. Are you lookingfor a dramatic look or something natural and fresh? Will your hair be up ordown, and what sort of hair accessories or veil will you be using? Coordinateyour makeup with your hair style, jewelry and gown.

Consider the time of day and wedding setting: Night, Day, or Weddings Outdoors

If your wedding is during the day and outside and the reception in the eveningand indoors, you may want to schedule a second makeup session between theceremony and the reception. You may need makeup that's lighter for daytimeportraits, but for evening revelries you may want to go a little heavier on theeye makeup. Darker eye shadow, deeper blusher and shimmery lip color may beperfect for nighttime, but in the daylight you may need more natural eye shadowcolors and a matte lipstick. Work out the details with your stylist so all yourportraits come out showing you at your very best.

DIY Bridal Makeup Still Requires a Little Advice from a Professional

If you decide to do your own makeup or have a friend do it for you, it's stillworthwhile to get tips from an expert and then practice your makeup before thebig day. Then, prepare as a professional would with towels to wrap around theneck (and over that gorgeous gown), brushes for applying makeup so your handsdon't get stained (or worse, stain your clothes) and a bottle of spot removerstanding by. Don't let a wayward mascara brush wreck your ivory lace veil!

Wedding & Bridal Beauty Tips

Wedding & Bridal Beauty Tips

Always Avoid White

While there are many things you can certainly wear to a wedding, the easiest place to begin might be what you should never wear to a day or nighttime wedding. Most importantly, never wear white to a wedding. Proper wedding etiquette states only the bride should be in white on her wedding day. Of course, if the bride arranges for her groom to wear a white tie and tuxedo there is no fashion taboo being committed. While this may be a cultural fashion rule with a rich tradition and history there’s always at least one guest who pushes the limits and shows up in white or a similar color like ivory. Take our advice and don’t be that guest!

 

Black Is An Easy Choice

If the invite isn’t clear about the dress code for the nighttime wedding clothing expectations, you can always play it safe with a Little Black Dress. While it may seem like a boring choice, it’s extremely easy to make a black dress work in casual or formal situations. Add formal jewelry to your dress in case the attire is formal that can easily be removed and slipped into your purse if you arrive to see others wearing much less formal attire. Pair a black dress with a pair of simple black heels and no matter what the dress code may be, you’ll look as if you fit in perfectly.

Think About The Season

When dressing for a nighttime wedding it’s also important to think about the weather. While you may long to wear your strapless black dress, if the weather is chilly you’ll need to remember to bring a wrap along. After all, chances are a nighttime wedding’s temperatures will be cooler than a day wedding. This is true for any time of year.

Pant Suits Are A Possibility

Many women don’t feel comfortable wearing skirts or dresses to any event, regardless of whether it’s a wedding or not. While most pant suits are too casual for a nighttime wedding, some wedding attire designers are finally creating beautiful pant suits suitable for wedding wear. Be sure you aren’t reaching in the closet for your favorite office pant suit, however. Look for a pant suit with sequins or beading around the top jacket to help you fit in whether the event is casual or more formal. Nighttime wedding clothing options might not be limitless but there are many options to think about. From your Little Black Dress to a dressy pant suit, you definitely have choices to make. Think about using accessories to help you quickly dress up or dress down an outfit, even after you’ve arrived to the wedding ceremony. Of course, if you want to quickly figure out what the bride would love to see her guests wearing you can always make a quick phone call and ask her yourself!
