professional makeup tips

Amber Demas has been a make-up artist for the past 15 years and during this time, she has seen a lot of fashion styles come and go. “Changing styles on the catwalk is fine but not necessary for your wedding day.

 

  For this reason, I suggest natural colourings with make-up and classic styles for the hair. Something undateable, classy and feminine for an overall look is the way to go. As a general rule it is suggested to make your eyes or your lips the stand out feature, but not both. I love the smoky eye effect and to compliment this, keep the look soft and natural."

"Foundation doesn’t need to be plastered on. You can achieve a flawless natural finish simply by using a good quality liquid foundation rather than a heavy oil-based one. Another great tip is to avoid looking pale by matching your foundation colour to your body. Also, be careful not to over-powder your face throughout the day, as this will have a whitening effect. Instead, control extra shine with a clean sponge. Remember, professionally applied make-up should stay on for your whole wedding day and not need to be constantly re-touched. Ensure you have a trial with the make-up artist of your choice, for your own confidence and so you can take a photo of how you look to test colouring. Preferably you should choose professionals with experience in the wedding industry. This will guarantee you look perfect on your most important day.”
