THE KEY TO LOOKING YOUR BEST

THE KEY TO LOOKING YOUR BEST  WITH ZMA WEDDING MAKEUP

 

The key to looking your best on your wedding day is to create a radiant, healthy, happy glow. Your hair and makeup style will help set you in the mood.

Think perfect skin, bright eyes, shiny gorgeous hair. This season’s looks are flawless, romantic and pretty. It’s best to enhance natural beauty and style through subtle colours and simplicity. Warm makeup colours are a big hit with popular shades of champagne, chocolate browns and neutrals, avoiding heavy eye shadows across the lids. I always like to add a little dusting of shimmer to keep eye makeup from looking flat or dated.

One thing for sure is that flawless skin never goes out of fashion. Try not to over-apply foundation by allowing the texture of the skin to show through. I recommend adding just enough to warm up skin colour and hide flaws. For those brides with oily skin, try not to endure a continual fight with powder, you will just turn your face into a caked mess! Instead, I highly suggest taking advantage of blotting papers and prime with oil-free products.

“Coral colour cheeks are a favourite among my brides,
but I like to add a touch of rosiness to create an
extra burst of healthy colour.”

Bridal hairstyling doesn’t always follow trends. It is a great idea to harmonize your hairdo with the style and design of your wedding dress. If the dress has a high collar or halter neckline, then an up style is very flattering to lengthen the neck-line a little more. If the dress has a low front or plunging backline, it is ever so elegant to either show off your back and have hair up or have some partially down, low styled.

The key to looking your best is to ensure you have the right makeup artist for your personal style of makeup and never short change yourself to get that ultimate look. Please take a look at some of my fashion work as well to give you an idea of  what true natural makeup looks like and how classic and stunning it looks.

5 BIG MAKEUP MISTAKES BRIDES OFTEN MAKE

The 5 elements mentioned below are the most common makeup mistakes brides make.  Each has longstanding repercussions in how they feel on the day and the photos they have to live with forever.

Here’s how to avoid any regret! Without Doing Makeup mistakes.

  1. WHAT’S THE KEY TO A BEAUTIFUL BRIDAL LOOK?
    • A fantastic professional hair + makeup artist to help turn your dreams into a reality. I believe it’s really important to not only look very special, but also ‘feel’ special. Brides always look beautiful when they are happy!
  2. WHAT TO AVOID ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
    • Avoid organizing things at the last minute. Write things down so if you are a bit anxious, your notes/list will keep you calm and on track! Try to keep the actual wedding day for pampering and celebrations!
  3. FASHION FAUX PAS THE BRIDE WILL LIKELY REGRET IN TEN YEARS TIME?
    • Going overboard with shimmers and bronzers! In small doses, shimmers will add a touch of radiance, but too much will create a ‘showgirl’ look. Going wild with a bronzer that’s too dark for your complexion will leave a fake, flat finish.
  4. FAVOURITE LOOK?
    • I love it when the eyes are always the highlight, regardless of the makeup look. My favourite is a soft, smokey eyeliner thickening the appearance of the lashes & defining the eye shape. I also love some natural looking cheek colour, great brows     and polished, flawless skin.
  5. WHAT SHOULD A BRIDE CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING HER MAKEUP LOOK?
    • Decide on a look that you are comfortable wearing. You still want to look and feel like yourself, but a more elegant, glamorous version of your everyday self. Consider a makeup look that will be long–lasting, with little maintenance and still looks great in the flesh and for photos.
