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.

MAKEUP TIPS – Part 1

To create waterproof eyeliner, dip a fine makeup brush into a waterproof mascara tube and use this to line the eyes. Eyeliner will stay put with little maintenance.

Spray your face with rosewater or Evian to freshen your makeup look throughout the day. This is a very effective method when your makeup has been on for a long period of time or under hot lights.

When you have very limited time to apply makeup, start with your eyes first and focus all your energy on this important feature. As time runs out, at least your face looks ‘done’. You can pick up time as you go and complete your face on the go. Put your lippy on in the taxi!

When using dark eyeshadow colours, place a tissue under the eye area to prevent sparks of eyeshadow from falling onto your face.

A well-prepared canvas is very crucial to creating a fresh, flawless foundation. By using a nourishing moisturiser first, this helps the foundation glide smoothly over the skin as well as applying less. Remember to tissue off any excess shine before applying luminizers.

MAKEUP TIPS – Part 2

Try not to over-apply foundation. Allow the texture of skin to show through. Instead apply concealer to areas of skin that need evening out, such as the corners of your nose or mouth, then add just enough to warm up your skin colour and hide flaws.

Before even starting makeup, check the lighting you are working with as this greatly influences the end result of your colours and makeup design. Ask yourself will fine details be seen? Do the colours need to be strong so they will show up from a distance?

For a more dramatic effect, layer your makeup products, eg: apply powder colours over cream products or use eyeshadow on top of a khol pencil. Not only will the makeup be long-wearing, but it will also create a multi-dimensional illusion as opposed to a flatter makeup look.
