Looking your best on your wedding day can be difficult, particularly given the long day you have all planned for you, including posing for photographs every few minutes. Most brides are well-versed in the application of skincare and makeup to appear radiant on their wedding day. However, a small misstep, sometimes makes all the good efforts go down the drain.

Here are a few typical makeup blunders that we see way more often than they should among brides-to-be. DOs and DONT’s for brides-to-be.. 💕

1. DON’T Allow a Friend to Do Your Makeup

Planning an Event?

Never ever make this mistake of allowing your friend to do the makeup. This is your big day, hire a professional for that radiant look as they are the experts and they know the right makeup that is camera friendly.

2. Not Waterproofing All of Your Makeup

You’re already aware of the importance of using waterproof mascara. You can, however, use a waterproof base. You’re bound to cry a few tears as a bride. Nothing is more annoying than seeing black mascara streaks down your face or white streaks where your makeup has come off. And if you do weep, dab the tears rather than wiping them away. DO use all waterproof makeup products.

3. Avoid Over-Tanning

In the week leading up to the wedding, several brides try to get some extra heat. Of course, attempting to achieve a natural tan exposes you to the possibility of burning or developing tan lines, necessitating additional time from your makeup artist to address these issues. DON’T over-tan.

4. DON’T Wax the Day Before

To prevent scars or scabs, wax your brows or any other part of your face at least five days before the big day. And don’t start waxing now if you’ve never done it before. If your skin isn’t used to it, it can break out in a small rash around the area.

5. DON’T Neglect Body Makeup

To have that even look, the bride should also emphasise the makeup to the whole body apart from the face.

Neglecting the body makeup can break the stunning look you desire.

6. DO Give Your Makeup Time to Set

Allow some time for your makeup to dry in between each move. If time is a problem, use a hairdryer in a cool environment. Allowing each step to dry before moving on to the next will help your makeup last longer.

7. DON’T Overdo the Powder

The powder is perfect for mattifying your look, but it can sink into any tiny lines under your eyes and magnify them. With too much makeup, the under-eye region will end up looking dry in pictures. To avoid this, apply just a small amount of powder under your eyes or skip it altogether. To keep the under-eye skin looking new and beautiful, use as little powder as possible.

8. DON’T Apply Sunscreen

It’s best to stop wearing sunscreen on your wedding day because the flash of the camera will make your face appear too white. It can also make the skin look oily and greasy. Stop using sunscreen and instead use standard toners and creams.

9. DON’T Remove Facial Hair One Day Before

Nothing should be performed a few days before the big day, whether it’s facial waxing or threading. This is to protect your skin against rashes, redness, and cuts. Keep your parlour appointments scheduled a few weeks in advance to ensure that your skin is clean on the big day.

10. Choose the Hair Treatment Carefully

Hair therapies are no exception. Keep a month’s break in hair treatments. Hair colour, cuts, and other treatments in the salon will take a long time to focus on. Before you have something done, talk to a hairstylist to get an idea of how long it will take.
