Bridal Makeup Tips...

Your eyes are the windows to your soul…
When asked what kind of look Brides want to focus on for their wedding day, most say a natural look but with the emphasis on the eyes. This look can be timeless, yet sexy and beautiful. All the traits any bride would want to have!
So do you want to know the tricks of the trade and how to achieve those sexy bridal eyes?
Start by cleaning the eye area with a makeup wipe, ensuring any excess oil is removed from the delicate eye area. Do not moisturize the eye area, as this is the oiliest part of the body, so any added moisture will crease your eye-shadow and make it run off, a big no no for any bride.
Use a concealer or shadow magnet to prep the eye. Add translucent powder to the eye-lid to set.
Take a beautiful shimmer in beige and apply to the top lid, patting as you go and stopping at your crease.
Apply a medium brown to the outer crease area and blending slightly upwards to just above the socket line. Always blend the line to make it look as natural as possible.
Use a warm gold loose shadow on the inner top lid eye crease to merge with the medium brown shadow. Blend well with the brush.
To make your eyes stand out, and to appear rested for your big day, apply a cream colour eye shadow to the inner part of the eyes. This will make your eye POP!
You can use a dark brown or black gel liner and apply a thin line to the top lash line. Then using a small brush, smudge over the line slightly to create a soft, smoky look that is also natural.
Using the gel liner, apply to the lower lash line, merging from the outer inwards.
Use the medium brown eye shadow over the lower lash line gel liner to soften the look.
To make your eyes appear clean and fresh, use a white eye pencil on the inner rims of the lower lid. You will notice it erases any tired look and redness disappears also!
Fake lashes really complete the look, so apply three medium length individual lashes to the ends, and add four or five short length individual lashes in between to make the look appear more natural. Add a coat of black waterproof (no smudging for wedding day tears!) mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
Brush up eyebrows and if necessary add a little brow shadow.
It is important to remember that sleep, rest and a great eye cream help keep eyes looking their best.

Et Voila! Sultry sexy eyes, perfect for your wedding day, now get practicing!
