Summer Wedding: makeup tips

Summer is undeniably the season for weddings. Summer is the perfect season to get married for a lot of reasons, but the heat and humidity can certainly pose problems from a hair and makeup standpoint. We’ve collected a few tips to help ensure your makeup will last for the big day.

Prime it. Even if it’s not part of your normal makeup routine, be sure to use a makeup primer to ensure your makeup is there to stay.

Skip the moisturizer. As long as your face isn’t feeling dry, just skip the moisturizer completely. Adding moisturizer to an already hydrated face will only encourage your makeup to melt away more quickly. 

Sponge it on.  It’s universally accepted that liquid foundation is longer lasting, but it’s important to avoid applying it with too-heavy a hand. Instead, dab your foundation on with a makeup sponge.

Line those lids. Be sure to wear eyeliner on your wedding day to make your eyes pop. Look for eyeliner that’s especially long lasting to ensure your eyes can be seen twinkling all night. Bonus tip: use that same makeup primer (above) on your eyes to keep that eyeliner holding strong even through tears!

Luscious lips. Most experts agree that lipstick is a must on your wedding day. Stick with something matte in a soft shade like a rosy pink. Keeping your lipstick color close to your blush color ensures a cohesive look, and if it fades as the day wears on, it will be less noticeable.
