Picking The Perfect Wedding Makeup

Picking your wedding makeup is one of the hardest decision you'll make after choosing the groom.

1. Try subtly lined lids, softly blushed cheeks, and a strong wine-colored lip for a beautiful berry look.

2. Pop a pale pink on your lips and lids, then top your eyes with shimmery brown shadow and a bit of champagne eye color in the inner "V" corner of your eyes for an ethereal finish.

3. For a gorgeous, gilded look, apply a waterproof gold cream shadow over the inner "V" corner of your eyes, then blend a brown shadow over your eyelid and along your lower lash line. Finish with a light pink blush and mauve lipstick.

4. Add drama to otherwise natural-looking makeup by lining your eyes on the top and bottom, and then adding a bit of black shadow onto your lid for a sexy, smoky effect. Lastly, contour your cheeks with bronzer and swipe on a nude gloss.

5. Or line your top and bottom lash lines and choose a light pink-champagne shadow to top your lids for a lighter, yet still dramatic look. Then apply a peach blush onto the apples of your cheeks and run a dusty rose lipstick over your pout.

6. Turn minimal makeup into a classic look by using earth tones everywhere but your lips.

7. Use bronze shades on your eyes, cheeks, and lips to create a gorgeous, monochromatic bombshell effect.

8. If bronze isn't your shade of choice, try a dusty rose color on your lids, cheeks, and lids for a girly yet grown-up finish.

9. If a brown smoky eye is your go-to, use an earth tone palette that offers shades within the same color family, so you can build a beautiful, gradated smoky eye with ease. To complete the look, sweep an apricot blush (which is universally flattering) over your cheeks and a clear gloss onto your lips.

10. Try an overall lighter look to really show off your natural beauty (this is especially good for outdoor weddings) by keeping your eyeliner more intense along the outer corner of your eyes. Finish with a light pink cheek color and a soft, yet bright pink shade on your lips.

11. Pair a silver, smoky, fully lined eye with an apricot blush and a nude lip color for a stunning finish.

12. To create a well-rested look (because you know you won't catch a wink the night before your wedding), top your lids with white liner and blend it in so just a subtle hint is left. Then, trace your top lash line only with black liner and apply a peach cream blush to your cheeks and lips.

13. If you normally wear a smoky eye and bold red lip, don't be afraid to wear that smoldering combo on your wedding day. However, if it's not a normal look you wear, don't let your wedding day be the day you start experimenting.

14. Even though it's your wedding day, you don't have to go all out when it comes to your makeup. If you prefer a no-makeup makeup look, pair a neutral taupe eyeshadow with a taupe lipstick and a touch of blush.

15. For a minimal makeup look, line your inner upper and lower lash lines, and pat some highlighter cream onto your cheekbones to amp up the glow you already have BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!

16. For a sexy look that's still subdued, create a smoky winged eye, skip blush, and apply bronzer on your cheekbones, then finish with a pale pink lip.

17. Smoky eyes don't always have to consist of charcoal or gray shades. Use a jade shadow to create the same effect but also throw some color into the mix. Then, apply a peach blush over your cheeks and a sheer pink gloss over your lips.

18. For a naturally beautiful makeup look that puts the focus on your lips, pair an orchid-colored lipstick with subtly lined eyes and peach blush.

Top 7 Makeup Color & Application Tips for Dark Skin Lovelies

Top 7 Makeup Color & Application Tips for Dark Skin Lovelies

African Americans and dark skin beauties often have makeup and skin care issues unique to only them. Dark skin or ethnic skin cosmetics tips and information is often challenging to find. After all, dark skinned ladies require a very unique set of makeup rules to help them get the look they desire. Most of the light skinned makeup rules, just won’t apply! Use these makeup tips and techniques for dark skin beauties to help you learn how to look the best you can!

Choose Foundation Color or Shade Wisely: When it comes to brown or dark skin, it’s important to choose an oil-free foundation that is actually a bit lighter in tint than your skin’s tone. This will allow a natural highlight to your skin and give you a nice glow.

Use Powder: If your skin is dark, using powder is a must. Choose a loose powder with a sheer quality. This will help your skin look fresh, without looking oily or shiny.

Always Wear Sunscreen: Many dark skin ladies don’t think about wearing sunscreen every day, because they don’t usually get sunburnt to remind them of the immediate need. However, it’s very important not only to prevent wrinkles and sun damage to your skin, but also to prevent skin cancer. Even if you don’t tan or get burnt, be sure you wear a daily sunscreen.

All About The Eyes: Some women find it challenging to find eye shadow colors that will allow them to get smoky looks or that blend nicely with their complexion. However, if you use dark browns, prunes, copper or burgundies, you can easily get a dramatic look without looking over the top. Try to find a compact with several of these colors in it, so you can experiment with various shades to find the best one. Just be sure to avoid any iridescent colors on your entire eyelid. If you want a little shimmer in tone, simply use translucent powder over the lid for a slight glow.

Cheeks Need Color Too: When it comes to dark skin and cheek color, it’s best to try to contour with blush shades of cocoa, dark peach, cinnamon or dusty pink. Always add a little blush, then examine yourself in natural light before you go back to add more. It’s much easier to add more than lighten it if you’ve gone overboard. However, if you do go overboard on accident, simply use powder or foundation to help tone down your mistake.

Choosing a Flattering Lip Color: There are many different colors of lipstick that look wonderful on dark skinned ladies. If you want to play it safe, consider using shades of berry or plum. However, for a little more dramatic edge, you can easily get away with beiges, golds, soft pinks, nudes, coffee, chocolate or wines. Just be sure to stay far away from any color with orange or an orange tint in it.

Don’t Forget to Moisturize: Although many dark skinned ladies struggle with oily skin, moisturizing is still very important. In fact, if you don’t drink enough water or moisturize properly, your skin will produce even more oil. So, use a light moisturizer that is oil-free every morning and evening after you’ve cleansed your face. In addition, be sure you’re drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water every day to ensure your skin and body stays hydrated.
