Bridal Makeup Tips to Keep in Mind

 Top 6 Skincare Tips to Get your Face Glowing for Your Wedding Day and Beyond! 

We all want that perfect, glowing, youthful face that we see models, singers, and movie stars flaunting. We think that because these models, singers, and movie stars are rolling in money they can get this look either by having plastic surgery or buying expensive products that produce results. Well, what if there is a less expensive way to get glowing radiant skin?

Before we give you these tips, keep in mind that your diet plays a part in how you look, feel and carry yourself on a daily basis. Also, a poor diet is a contributing factor in causing chronic skin conditions such as cystic acne, prolonged acne, dark spots, and early signs of wrinkles. The following is what Michelle at Concept Studios says you need to start doing: 

6 Ultimate Skincare Tips You Should Start Doing Before Your Wedding Day

 1. Prepare your skin - 1 Year Out

Consult a skin care expert to determine your skin type – dry, oily, normal, or in between. This consultant should be able to tell you the type of cleanser your face requires – milk cleanser for dry skin or gel cleanser for oily and normal skin. If you have a problem with your T zone, she/he should be able to advise on products that offer the best solution.

2. Find the perfect moisturizer 

Hydration is vital to healthy looking skin and selecting the correct moisturizer is key. Once you settle on your moisturizer, use additional products to give you that bridal glow. Serums help with dark spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. Masks/scrubs can help brighten and tighten skin.

3. Determine your bridal look

You should start as early as possible and narrow down a look that complements your face while not becoming overpowering. Also, don’t forget your bridesmaids.  

4. Consult a professional makeup artist 

Talk with a professional on makeup dos and don’ts. Consider the time of day your wedding is going to start – day wedding (light, the subtle transition to evening), evening wedding (medium to smoky). Your makeup can distort your pictures when you look at them later, having the right look will make your pictures turn out great.

5. Start practicing early 

Continue consulting your skin care consultant and makeup artist for any pressing questions that may arise during this period.  

6. Change your diet 

Changing your diet will improve your skin tone. Try adding more leafy greens (Kales, Brussel sprouts, Broccoli rabe, Lettuce, Cucumbers); healthy fats (nuts and oils); add more water to your diet, hydrating your insides (your cells) will show on your outside (skin and all over); add fruits (Granny Smith apples, Papaya, Pineapple, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Pomegranate,  and  Lemon /Lime). Eliminate sugars from your diet, the fruits listed above have natural sugars (fructose) that won’t put STRESS on your cells.
