Summer Wedding Makeup Tips

Somebody’s getting married!

Well one thing is for sure.

It’s the summertime and someone you know is probably going to be jumping the broom. Whether you’re the bride to be, a bridesmaid, or a special guest, you’ve got to be looking your best. Makeup and beauty captures the essence of that special day. Here are some ways you can achieve the perfect wedding look and make your makeup as memorable as the moment!

No Dilly Dallying

Prioritize skincare now! Start a consistent skincare routine so that you’ll have a healthy, glowing complexion on the bid day. If you cleanse, tone, moisturize, and exfoliate now, you’ll have a smooth canvas for your makeup application. Why not book a facial a few weeks before the wedding to rejuvenate and nourish your skin?

At First Sight

You’ve heard the saying – The eyes are the windows to the soul. On your wedding day, you’ll want them to sparkle and captivate. Define your brows using a brow pencil or powder that matches your hair color. Choose eyeshadows that match your wedding colors and theme. Soft, neutral tones are popular, but feel free to experiment with color. Make your look more dramatic with eyelashes or bold mascara!

Smooches

The perfect wedding day kiss is about more than lipstick (and if you’re not the bride you’ll still want to have soft, kissable lips). You can start by exfoliating your lips regularly with a lip scrub. Then hydrate them with lip balm like Dior Lip Glow or Glossier Balm Dotcom. Classic nude shades, romantic pinks, or bold reds can all create stunning looks.

Blush and Glow

The right blush can really put the icing on the cake. Take your wedding day look to another level with a sassy or natural shade that suits your skin tone. Highlighter can also make the moment magical. Add an ethereal glow to your cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow.

Practice Makes Pretty

Your wedding day is a time to celebrate love, joy, and the beginning of a new chapter. Don’t wait until the last minute to master your wedding day makeup look. Practice and practice again to make sure that you’re comfortable and confident. Try different products, techniques, and colors. And make sure you test the lighting to see how it’ll turn out on your pictures.

Prioritize skincare, try it on in advance, and choose products that will withstand the test of time and tears of happiness. With the right makeup you can create a lasting impression no matter who is walking down the aisle.

Colored Mascara

Remember mascara in shades blue, purple, and green?

Colored mascara is making a comeback and it’s an easy way to add a pop of color to your eyes. Elevate your look with bold lashes and nude or soft pink lipstick. A touch of highlighter on the cheeks will complement this look perfectly.

In Cosmopolitan, makeup artist Amrita Mehta talked about using three layers of blue mascara to create an opaque look. Now that sounds daring! There are no rules to looking beautiful this summer. Show your personality with a palette of bright colors. Not sure which colors or brands to try? The Every Girl mentioned Half Magic and YSL in a recent article.

Sunset Eyeshadow

Now this trend really captures the vibrant hues of the summer. Pick your favorite shades of pink, orange, gold, and purple and paint the sky! Start with a base of soft, warm gold on the inner corners. Gradually blend bright orange across the lid. Add a rich pink or magenta to the outer corners. For depth, use a deep purple in the crease and lower lash line.

Summer is the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Grab your favorite makeup, find inspo, and have a hot girl summer!

3 Simple Ways to Manage Stress

2 Comments

Did you know that stress is not only bad for your health but it’s also not a good look when it comes to skin, hair, and nails?

The American Academy of Dermatology says “mind body practices can help regulate your stress response…” That’s why it’s important to take a break from our daily hustle and bustle to talk about some serious self-love and self-care tips. You may be the queen of multitasking, but you deserve a little pampering to keep stress at bay.

Here are a few simple ways to manage stress:

#1 Show Yourself Some Love

Don’t feel so guilty about getting a pedicure or spraying a little extra perfume on. Care for yourself until your heart’s content. It’s just a way of giving yourself a pat on the bag or a big hug. And like the song says “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all”.

#2 Make Exercise a Priority

There is nothing like some straight up endorphins to put stress at ease. Run, walk, kickbox, or twerk it out. Or maybe add a little zen to your life with some yoga. It always feels like a task, but once the workout is done you’ll feel the difference.

#3 Find Your Chill

Maybe it’s music? Maybe is a movie or cooking up something healthy in the kitchen? Maybe even calling your best friend? Or meditation? Whatever it may be that works for you. Just remember to do more of what makes you happy and find your vibe.

Hope these tips help you “woosah”
