A wedding with my beloved partner.

But it's not just smiles; sometimes tears may flow as well.

Of course, those tears won’t be from sadness, but rather happy tears overflowing with joy during the wedding ♡

However, having makeup run from tears isn’t happy....!

The beautiful tears flowing from joy at marrying my beloved, the gathering of important people, and gratitude for my parents who have raised me are all beautiful, aren’t they?＊

But!

I want to avoid ending up with panda eyes after crying.

Emotional moments like the first meet, the ceremony, and the bride’s letter.

If my eyes are all black from tears, my eyelids are swollen, and my foundation is a mess... that would be so sad... ><

So this time, I’ll introduce ways to keep your makeup intact even when you cry at your wedding!

Be prepared so you can cry happily without worry ♡

① Inform your makeup artist in advance

If you’re a bride who thinks, “I’m definitely going to cry at the wedding…!” it’s recommended to inform your hair and makeup artist in advance.

Since they are professionals, they should provide tears-resistant makeup, and if you tell them beforehand, they might even prepare waterproof cosmetics for you ◎

If you already know of cosmetics that work well with your skin, bringing them along is also a good idea ♩

② Prepare a bridal handkerchief

It’s a big no-no to not have a handkerchief and to wipe tears with your hands.

Wiping with your hands can cause your makeup to smudge and isn’t visually appealing.

If you think you might cry, be sure to prepare a bridal handkerchief and keep one on the main table, one for the groom, and give one to the hair and makeup artist or the attendant.

③ Dab only the tears that have overflowed onto the handkerchief

When tears overflow at the wedding, the correct way is to gently dab only the tears that have spilled from your eyes with the handkerchief ◎

Rubbing your crying eyes can cause swelling or make your makeup come off,

so do not touch the tears that have pooled in your eyes; make sure to only dab the tears that have spilled.

Use the handkerchief to lightly absorb the tears without rubbing. Be careful not to rub or pat it multiple times.

④ Get your makeup artist to touch up early

If you do cry, try to find a moment to have your makeup artist do a touch-up early ◎

Even if you can’t go to the makeup room, have your makeup artist quickly check if you have panda eyes and clean up with a cotton swab or something.

Especially before taking pictures, it’s advisable to have your makeup artist check even for just a minute.

Let’s stay beautiful even while crying ♡
