KNOWING YOUR EYE SHAPE, HERE ARE A FEW ..... & GETTING THE EYE-SHADOW CORRECT.

Almond Eyes Just about every shadow look works with this shape, go for the classic: sultry, smoky eyes. 

Hooded Lids

This happens when the skin on your brow bones folds over onto your lids near the outer corners (it could be your natural shape; it also happens as we age). This creates natural shadows on your lids — which means you don't need much eye makeup, just subtle brightening to keep lids from looking heavy.

Round Eyes

For this wide-open shape keep it light. A sweep of just one soft color — whether it's a pretty pastel or neutral taupe — across lids is all you need to enhance round eyes.

     

Asian Eyes

  Smudge the deepest hue along your top lash line, the medium color right on the crease, and the lightest

shade from the crease to just beneath your brows. Once the colors are in place, blend like crazy!

HOW TO WORK THE LIPSTICK......AND WORK IT GOOD!

PRIME YOUR SMILE --- Start by filling in lips with a flesh-colored pencil. Like a primer before paint, this step lays a foundation for the quick-to-fade shade to cling to, so it stays on longer.

PICK YOU HUE --- To avoid looking washed-out, opt for pink undertones (rather than beige or nude) that are at least two shades darker than your complexion. Peachy-gold flatters fair to medium faces.

GO FOR THE GLEAM ---Choose a high-shine lipstick. When you go light on color, a slight sheen will draw attention to lips, putting the spotlight on your smile.

PREVENT SMUDGES ---Next, trace the outline of lips with a nude-colored pencil;

FIND YOUR SHADE ---Cherry reds bring out rosiness in fair cheeks. Orangey reds warm up olive skin, and fuchsias work for dark complexions.

Sometimes - just a little does the job!

Sometimes... all it is ---- is a little eyeliner, mascara, blush and lipstick ...that's the makeup magic.... :)

And the 4,5,6 Mistakes to take note of on your special day....

4.Don’t overdo it with facial procedures. The biggest mistake of majority of brides is rushing out for getting the extreme facial procedures like peelings, tans, teeth whitening etc and unfortunately the consequences from them could be harsh. Continue with your regular skincare procedures, but also try to keep the healthy diet, exercise and get enough sleep.

5.Don’t touch your face. Once the wedding makeup is on, avoid touching it during the wedding day. All you will need are the blotting papers and powder for preventing the shining face and a lipstick, which you will reapply after the numerous kisses.

6. Limit yourself to only putting a little highlighter on your cheekbones and under the eyebrows area, but avoid it on the whole face.

Mistakes 1,2,3 to take note of....

1.Excessive amount of make up looks "loud" on bride’s face. Sure, wedding is a big thing but it doesn’t necessarily require the tons of cosmetics on your face. Follow the principle “less is more”.

2. Don’t necessarily stick to latest trends. The trends change constantly and something that is considered to be the hottest trend today will be out of fashion tomorrow. The same thing happens with makeup trends. All you want is looking at your wedding photos in 5 years and have the makeup done in the classical and neutral style, which is timeless.

3.Opting for makeup that is not you.... If you are not used to wearing a lot of cover on your face, then you should probably avoid it at your wedding day too. Your number one task is looking just like you, but a bit fresher.
