1. Preparing Your Skin
Preparing your skin is the most important part of your auspicious wedding day. You need the glow to make you feel your best and put others in awe. This isn’t just a one-day thing either. Taking care of your skin for the big day is focused on nourishing, hydrating, and rejuvenating your skin in the weeks leading up to it.
You may be doing your skincare at home but it’s recommended you visit your nearest skin clinic to get a professional treatment. Skincare professionals can assess your skin type, condition, and concerns comprehensively to develop a tailored treatment plan. Take time in developing a good skincare routine for yourself.
Make sure you start your skincare routine by cleansing your face daily with a gentle cleanser. Use cleanser according to your skin type. Follow it up with a toner to balance your skin’s pH level.
A basic rule of thumb for skin care.
- Cleanser
- Toner
- Antioxidant Serum
- Eye Cream
- Spot Treatment
- Moisturiser
- Sunscreen
Hydrating your skin is essential, so use a hydrating serum and follow it up with a moisturizer for the best results.
Exfoliation is the removal of the outer layer of your skin. It’ll reveal a smoother complexion of you every time you do it. Do not overdo it and keep it max at twice a week with a gentle exfoliator.
Always use sunscreen before you head out. It’s not just about being sunburnt. Prolonged exposure to the sun can damage your skin long-term and can lead to premature aging and skin cancer. Reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours for the best protection (include clothing such as caps and full sleeve clothes).
Remember, consistency is the key. By being consistent with your skincare routine, you can showcase your natural, glowing beauty on your big day.
2. Accentuating Your Eyes
The bride is the star of the wedding day. With all eyes on you, it’s important your eyes tell something too. We’ve all wanted that mesmerizing and captivating eye. So we explore some effective techniques to make sure your eyes stand out on your special day.
A well-groomed eyebrow gives the required frame to your eyes. There’s a fine line between a dense unibrow and a well-maintained eyebrow. Consider consulting with an experienced stylist who can bring out the best for you. Maintain your appearance for the big day by tweezing or threading any stray hairs.
Select the correct colors for your makeup. Choose colors that complement your eyes and wedding theme. Bronze and gold or purple and blues are some good options but there’s nothing wrong with going black. It all depends on what suits you the best.
Consider using eyeliners and mascara to lengthen your lashes and give your eyes a stunning look.
Longer eyelashes are proven to be more attractive and attention-grabbing. False lashes can help you add that extra touch of glamour. Your longer lashes help make your eyes look bigger. False lashes can make your eyes pop in photos and create a striking, mesmerizing effect as you walk down the aisle.
3. Long Lasting Lip Color
A wedding day can be long, especially with all the socializing and festivities. But what should last even longer is your lipstick. When it comes to makeup, one of the most important things is finding a long-lasting lip color that will stay put throughout the entire day.
There are many options available in the market so finding the perfect one shouldn’t be a problem. Try to find lipsticks that are long-wear and smudge-proof. Your lipstick shouldn’t be just long-lasting but should complement your overall bridal look too.
Some popular choices for lipstick are soft pinks, nudes, and reds. Not sure if black is a good option, but it’s up to personal preference in the end. Just make sure your lip color matches your skin tone and looks good.
We also recommend exfoliating your lips before applying your lipstick. It helps reveal a smooth and fresher canvas. Follow it up with a lip primer and liner to outline your lipstick.
It isn’t rare to not have your lipstick fade out or accidentally wiped off during the event. Make sure to carry a small handbag with all the essentials in it; mirror, papers, lipsticks, and cotton to reapply your lipstick from time to time.
Your smile can tell a lot on the wedding day, so make sure you choose a reliable good looking lip color to showcase your beautiful flawless smile.
4. Hair Care and Styling
We all want that beautiful, silky hair shown in advertisements for shampoos and conditioners all the time. This is especially so on your wedding day when you would want to look your best. It’s important to plan ahead and take proper care of your hair if you want to achieve that look.
If you haven’t been doing this then you’re doing it wrong. Maintain a good hair care routine with regular shampooing and conditioning. Make sure your hair is well-nourished and hydrated.
We don’t recommend heat styling your hair often or using chemical treatments which can damage your hair from the roots. A good regular trip can help keep your ends healthy.
Consult a hairstylist. Schedule a consultation with the stylist in advance to work on the perfect hairstyle for the day. Consider your wedding themes, styles, and dresses when you want to choose a hairstyle. They can also help you come up with a good hair care routine and recommend products for the best results.
As you near your wedding day, you should stay away from any drastic changes to your hair. It could be a trim or dye or a different style, try to avoid doing that in case of any mishap. Dye your week/weeks before the wedding to allow the color to style.
You should wash your hair the day before the wedding instead of the wedding day as fresher hair can be more difficult to style. If your hair tends to get oily quickly, consider using a dry shampoo.
Make sure you’ve got a touch-up kit handy with bobby pins, hairspray, and a small comb or brush for fixing up your hair whenever needed during the day. Try not to mess with your hair too much, as that can mess up the style. Use a hairspray that lasts long to keep your hairstyle on point all day and night.
Oh, and don’t forget, hiring a wedding hairstylist who’s a pro can really make a difference in getting the look you want and keeping your hair flawless throughout the day. Plan ahead, let them know what you like, and take good care of your hair to rock that perfect wedding hairstyle. If you want a hairstylist you know who to contact (wink wink).
5. Nail and Manicure
Doing your nails is a lovely final finish to your overall bridal look. Your beautiful nails will be a piece of a puzzle that fits beautifully with your other aspects. Your hands will have some work to do on your wedding day. Receiving guests, gifts, socializing, wedding rituals, and taking photographs, your hand will show.
Schedule a professional manicure appointment a day or two before your wedding day to work on that nail style that works on you the best. If you are going for open-toe shoes, it’s best to go for a pedicure too.
Manicures and styling involve getting that beauty treatment for your nails. Make sure you choose the color that you like and that matches your wedding colors.
Prioritize regular nail care, cleaning, filing, and moisturizing your nails till the wedding day. There are also products that keep your cuticles hydrated and prevent them from looking dry or ragged.
Nails are just skin cells too. It’s important to take good care of your nails as much as you do of your face. Follow your nail care routine with a good diet and plenty of water for the best natural results.
Also, carry items such as nail polish, removes, cotton swabs, and tissues if you wish to redo your nails during the day. We like to call it a nail polish emergency kit
