The Skin:
The goal is to look naturally beautiful at your wedding and still photograph like a model for posterity. Find a foundation and concealer with light diffusing pigments and that contains dimethicone(silicone). The pigments will make light bounce evenly off you all day and the silicone creates a long-lasting smooth appearance to the skin. Also err on the side of matte. Do not kill all the shine to your skin, just don,t try too hard to make it shine more!
Start with a clean, freshly moisturized face.
If your eyes are puffy, use an anti-puffiness product in affected areas.
If you are prone to shine, add an oil control product now.
If you need more coverage, blend on your foundation primer now.
Blend Foundation with brush from the center of the face out. It is important to neutralize any discoloration in the center of the face.
Brush on translucent powder to set foundation.
The Lips:
Line lips fully and apply lipstick liberally. Blot and reapply lipstick. A longevity trick is to set the lipstick by powdering your lips with your powder brush through a single layer of tissue. Then apply a thin fresh coat of lipstick.
The Eyes:
Cover entire eye area between brow and upper lashes with eye shadow base.
For eyeshadow, first dust your entire eye with the lightest color. Next place the middle color on the ball of the eye(from lash bed up to crease and from outer to inner corner. Thirdly use the darkest shadow with a cone shaped contour brush from the outer corner of the eye in. Follow the deepest part of the groove between the lid and the brow bone. Blend no more than halfway in across the crease.
Apply waterproof liner along the upper eyeline everywhere that your lashes grow. Keep the liner in between the lashes at first then thicken the outer corner to your taste. Thicken liner from the pupil out to corner of eye.
Apply waterproof eyeliner pencil to inner eyeline above bottom lashes from the inner corner to the outer edge.(9 out of 10 times, this undereyeline makes you photograph so much better.) For more drama, Connect top and bottom eye line in outer corner of eye.
Lavish on waterproof mascara. Comb through with a lash comb to avoid clumps. Add extra to the outer lashes for more drama.
Clean up under eye with concealer using a concealer brush. Continue to brush concealer under each eye in a "V" shape to clean up any imperfections under the eye.
Cheeks:
Brush blush on the apple of the cheekbone and gently back along the bone. For those wishing more cheekbone, brush a darker neutral blush from the ear towards your nose on the under side of the cheekbone. Keep blush soft.
Brush powder once more.
