Perfect Wedding Hair

     Seven Great tips:

Perfect Wedding Makeup

Seven Great Tips to Perfect  Makeup:

1. A Clean Pallet: The secret to great makeup is great skin care! Make sure that you are using the best skin regimen on the market! If you are not using a good daily skin care regimen, then you are not doing the best you can to make your skin look flawless. Our job is to make you look picture perfect on your wedding day.  We use nothing but the best products on our clients. We recommend Mary Kay Skin Care. It is what we have used for years for the best looking skin imaginable. It is the #1 skin care nationwide.

2.  Create the Base: It is most important to find a foundation that matches your skin tone. Test two or more foundations side by side along the lower cheek and selecting the shade that seems to disappear into the skin. Also critical to creating a flawless face, Concealer: First use cover-up under and on any problems areas, then foundation to even out the skin tone and last apply powder with a big brush to lock everything in place. 

3. Get Cheeky:  Don't forget to apply a pop of color on the apples of the cheeks. The key to blush is to select a color that best goes with your skin tone, cheeks don't always have to be pink! Go with colors that are suitable for you. Bronzers and highlighters will make your cheek bones pop while accenting your features at the same time.

4. The Eyes Have It:  Choosing your colors is very important and you must consider your skin tone, the time of day, and the atmosphere of the wedding. Do you like soft and saddle or dark and smoke!  Play up the eyes! As it was once said  "the eyes are the window to your soul" When he looks into your eyes let him see your from the inside out.  Try using three different colors. One for all over, second to accent and third to high lite. Color is fun so don't be afraid to try it.  Be sure to use an eye shadow primer for longer stay power. Eyeliner is meant to be a base for the mascara but can be applied heavy on top if you like that look as well.

5. Luscious Lashes: Mascara Ladies! Love it! Mascara it a very important part of the finishing touches. Waterproof is essential for the wedding day. If you have short or very straight lashes you can curl the lashes to enhance their look with an eyelash curler. Start at the base of lash line and gently squeeze the curler for a few seconds. Move it out toward the lash ends and squeeze again. You may want to consider  false lashes for a really dramatic look. However, if you have never worn false lashes try them out a few times before the wedding, so you get use to the way they feel. Have your artist try the false lashes at your design session and/or portrait session.

Brow Power: Don't forget brows: Eyebrows can definitely make a difference in how your photos look. Once you achieve the right shape either with a pro or at home, it is very important to keep them properly maintenance. Eye brows are alot like the hair on your head, once you get a good shape, you should keep it so the touch up/follow up appointments will be easier to handle and they will always look great. So make sure you keep your brows clean and properly shaped. If they need to be filled, fill them with a eyebrow pencil or neutral color eye shadow. The best way to coax brows in place is to apply brow gel or hair spray to an eyebrow brush and comb them into place.                                                       

6.  Makeup, Then Kiss: The lips are the obvious place to go for glamour. Although gloss is great don't be afraid to play with some lip color for enhancement. In general, the darker your skin tone, the darker you can go with your lip color. Burgundy and blackcherry are beautiful on dark skin. While women with medium skin tone look pretty in current or red, and those with light skin look best in low voltage neutrals and glosses. But I do love fair skin, dark hair with red lips! So keep in mind  you can try any color you like. Everyone's lip has its own shade, so color selection is very important.  The look is always enhanced with gloss over top. If your bottom lip is paler than your top, you can even them out by applying a sheer, dark lipstick to your lower lip as a base, then sweeping the same lipstick over both lips. If you want to have very full lips that don't require too much enhancement, avoid bright, attention getting colors and stick to quiet, flattering shades instead like caramel or brown. Try lip stain, water resist or color stay lipstick for the wedding day. Won't rub off, Perfect for Kissing the Groom!

7. Powder Power:  Powder should be used at the end to lock in your look. If you get shiny throughout the day use a beauty blotter or rice sheet, to remove the oil without removing the makeup.You can also keep that fresh look by apply a nice sweep of powder as needed throughout the night.

Pro Secrets for Perfect Bridal Hair Don’t: Skip your trail run. You and Creations’ Stylist both need to see how your chosen style will work with the length and texture of your hair, as well as the veil and/or head piece. Make any changes before the big day. Hair color, perms, and even trims can cause hair disasters-one mistake, and your perfect hair becomes a damaged ball of frizz that’s too short to style! Use any special treatments. A lot of ladies think they’re helping their stylist by using deep conditioners and special serums but those treatments can make the hair too heavy and slick to style.
