Tips for brides

I want to give some tips that I always tell to all my brides about treatments, makeup and products.

Let´s began…

The first thing that I always always always suggest to every bride is to go to a beauty center al least 6 weeks before the wedding day to be able to prepare the skin for that day and have it as their best.

So many times we have dehydrated our skin without knowing, or we want to unify our skin tone or give a nice touch of luminosity or a lift effect for that special day and we need to give time to our skin to make the treatment work for that I suggest to start at least 6 weeks before the wedding.

The day before the wedding don´t do nothing to dramatic on your skin, just a light exoliation and a hydrating or refreshing mask as you prefer.

And the day of the wedding don´t try nothing that you haven´t try it before, if you want to use a flash blister to tense your skin or to give an extra luminosity use it in advance, try it before that day so you are sure you avoid allergies, reactions or discomforts.

Now we have the skin prepare and ready, so let´s start with the makeup…

The first thing I suggest in makeup wise is not to try nothing new that day, that could make you not feel comfortable, so always use a style you have wear before.

There is nothing more horrible that not feeling comfortable the day on your wedding cause you chosen a red lips for the first time to wear it that day or a very intense makeup when you are use to more soft natural makeup, yes the first thing is to be beautiful that day but as equal important is to feel comfortable.

If you want to innovate with makeup that day try it before, to one of a few test runs before so you will feel good with it even if you are not doing nothing new you may consider do a test run so you are sure you know what are you getting that day so you have one thing less to worry that crazy day.

Neither decide to try new products that day cause you don´t know how you skin will react or if you will feel good with it so that´s not the best day to try new products, stick with the products you have already tried and tolerated fine.

Products wise…

Frist and more important of all avoid HD products, why? cause they have been designed for HD video not for flashes and those contain particles that makes your skin look flawless will make reflect the light and will provoke white patches around your face or even making look like a ghost.

As the same avoid to use products that contain SPF, like foundation, concealer o even primers that will reflect the light and again provoke your skin to look pale or even like a ghost once again.

Try to use waterproof products, foundations, eyeshadows, pencils, mascaras etc, that will prevent from running or loose them to quickly, but notice that a waterproof foundation tends to be quiet dry so if you have a dry skin already make sure you hydrate very well your skin first and you use a primer to prevent the scales effect.

If you have a oily skin we you have some tips to do to get the best result that day, first if you have been in a beauty center you may be in a oily skin treatment to control the sebum of your skin, if not ask for that special treatment, it will be good for the finish result, the day after the wedding apply a clay mask to help to absorb all the extra oil and the day of the wedding apply a good face primer to make the foundation to stick, use a foundation for oily skin or mattifying effect as the compact or loose powder. Think that you may need to carry with you a small container with some of this powder or those little papers that helps to absorb the extra oil.

About shinny that we want, don´t go to far with the shine using a glitter o too intense shimmer products cause that will make your face to look like a Christmas tree, if you want to use a intense highlight focus that on my small area, like the tear dot area, and for the face highlighting use a more seattle product on the top of the cheek bones or on the arch of the brows.

And for last but not least the lips, don´t go for a dark lip if you are not use to that cause again it won´t let you feel comfortable, but if you are use to them you can opt for a permanent lip color so you won´t have to retouch it all the time, but think also that the permanent products they are not infallible either, but if you want to feel very comfortable and you don´t want to worry about retouch them try a nude tone using a lip pencil or lip stick and a soft touch of gloss of a seattle shine.

And most of all enjoy!

This is your day and you have to be perfect and beautiful but don´t forget you also need to feel comfortable and to enjoy this unique day!

With a couple of touches and a bit of preparation with advance you will have the perfect face to look gorgeous!

    ¡Hola Silvia! Te sigo desde hace tiempo y me encanta tu trabajo. Soy fotógrafa y en los últimos meses me he animado a realizar varios cursos específicos de maquilladora para poder complementar mis trabajos. Lo malo es que ninguno de esos cursos tenía una sección específica de fotografía y, tal y como comentas, es muy delicado sobre todo por la protección solar, las iluminaciones y el uso del flash. Mi pregunta al respecto es: ¿Qué bases, correctores y prebases de maquillaje concretamente recomendarías? Me aconsejaron la Face and Body de MAC, pero creo que igual es demasiado poco cubriente y también la HD de MUFE, que me dijeron que a pesar de ser HD era muy buena para fotografía… ¿qué opinas? ¿conoces otras marcas mejores? ¡Muchas gracias!

      si la verdad que es un tema delicado, sobre bases correctores etc depende mucho de a quien maquilles, si tiene piel grasa, seca, es madura etc, así que la mejor recomendación es que no tenga protección solar y que no sea HD, del resto hay que ir encajando al rostro de cada persona, eso si hay marcas que de por si en el nombre te comentan que son buenas para fotografía como la Photo finish de Smashbox o la Photoready de Revlon, que son dos ejemplos de buenas bases pero es mejor adaptar cada una a cada rostros, y lo de la HD de MUFE por mucho que de bien en fotografía no la usaría si se que hay varios productos HD de MUFE que han sido noticia por los efectos raros que han dado en las celebrities, así que yo no me arriesgaría! gracias por verme y mucha suerte!
