Here are the essential points for wedding makeup you must definitely keep in mind＊

Bridal Makeup Point 1 ♡ Create a sense of the extraordinary

Since a wedding is a special day, using exactly the same makeup as usual would not be suitable alongside a luxurious dress and accessories, so a slightly more intense makeup look is necessary ♩ However, simply wearing heavy makeup can result in an overdone appearance, which is a no-no!

For those who typically use a one-pattern makeup style, it is recommended to try out playful colors that you haven’t used before in accordance with your dress, or use more shimmer than you usually do. The spotlight is always on the bride and groom, so the shimmer will sparkle and make your face look radiant ♡

Bridal Makeup Point 2 ♡ Communicate your usual makeup methods

It is common to have a professional makeup artist do the makeup for the wedding ♡ When that happens, it’s essential to communicate your usual makeup methods in advance ♩ You know your own charm points best, as well as the makeup styles that typically don't suit you ♡

While getting a special makeup look that is different from usual, it is also crucial to share any styles or atmospheres you don't like or think don't look good on you.

Be specific when communicating your usual makeup concerns, like, "I don't want to use pink eyeshadow because it makes my eyes look puffy..." or "I want to use brown eyeliner instead of black because it makes me look harsh..." ♩

By conveying your usual makeup style clearly, you can prevent the disastrous moment when the final result makes you ask, "Who is this?!" Communication with your makeup artist is key ♡

Bridal Makeup Point 3 ♡ Careful base makeup

To achieve that ideal bridal makeup that is natural yet glamorous, the base makeup is the most important! Even spots or freckles that usually don't bother you may become noticeable once you’re in a stunning wedding dress ♡ Creating beautiful skin enhances the impression of a transparent and radiant bride ♡

Additionally, a solid base makeup is fundamental to prevent makeup from wearing off! Spotlights illuminate you, and throughout the long day, you’ll be sweating, laughing, and possibly crying during the ceremony ♩ To enjoy your wedding makeup without worrying about it smudging, investing time in the base makeup is essential ♡

Bridal Makeup Point 4 ♡ Longer lashes

During the reception, many photographs are taken from the side or capturing your lowered gaze ♡ Therefore, it's important to have your eyelashes be long enough (but not overly so) using false lashes or extensions to maintain a beautiful look from the side and even when your eyes are closed ♩

Bridal Makeup Point 5 ♡ Cheeks & lip colors that brighten the complexion

For a lovely bride makeup that radiates a happy aura, cheek and lip colors that add a healthy flush are indispensable! Use blush and lipstick in pink or other colors that are not too pale, applying them moderately to your face ♩

If you want a more glamorous look, placing emphasis on a bright red or vibrant lip color can be effective ♡ Since it’s a wedding, it's tempting to try bolder lip colors than you usually wear ♡ In that case, keep the eye makeup in natural tones, with the boldness concentrated in one area—this is the trick to achieving natural bridal makeup ♩

Bridal Makeup Point 6 ♡ Be prepared for tears

Walking down the aisle with your father, emotional speeches from friends, letters to your parents—there are so many tear-jerking moments at a wedding ♡

You want to avoid having a scenario where, despite the beautiful emotional scene, you look over and see the bride with smudged mascara and foundation running down her face! >< Therefore, it's important for brides to ensure they are prepared for tears in their makeup ♩

Of course, using waterproof cosmetics is a must; for those who typically have mascara that runs due to tears, eyelash extensions are recommended ♡ With false lashes, there's concern that the adhesive might peel off, but with extensions, you can enjoy peace of mind without that problem ♡

Bridal Makeup Point 7 ♡ Consider the compatibility with the dress

When changing into a colored dress, it is common to slightly change the makeup look ♩ The important thing at that time is to have a makeup style that complements the dress ♡ For cooler-toned dresses, a cool makeup style is good, while for warmer-toned dresses, a cute makeup style is the way to go ♩

For traditional Japanese attire, a more defined cat-eye eyeliner and a clearly red-colored lipstick would suit you well ♡ Create an impression that is different from your wedding makeup and make the guests awe at your beauty ♡

Bridal Makeup Point 8 ♡ Collect cutouts to research your preferences

When it comes to makeup for the significant day of a wedding, leaving it completely up to someone else is a no-go! Even without detailed orders, it’s crucial to have a general image of what you want ♩

We recommend bringing cutouts from wedding magazines or other guidelines along with you ♡ Prior to the wedding, check magazines and collect cutouts of the bridal makeup that you think looks wonderful ♡ By bringing several cutouts and discussing them with your makeup artist, you can significantly reduce the chances of a makeup mishap ♩

Aim for makeup that befits a special day ♩

As it is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, you certainly don’t want any regrets when it comes to your dress and makeup ♡ Clearly imagine the bridal makeup you aspire to achieve and become the most beautiful bride, more than ever before ♡

Keep in mind these points for your wedding makeup and aim to be a stunning bride ♡
