Wearing organic makeup on your wedding day will help you look and feel your best. However, between the ceremony and the reception, there likely won’t be much time to touch up or reapply. Use the following tips to ensure your makeup looks beautiful all day long. 

4 Tips for Flawless Wedding Makeup

1. Opt for a Neutral Look

Perfect bridal makeup is all about balance. Wearing minimal cosmetics could wash out your complexion in wedding photos. Going for a dramatic look, on the other hand, could hide your natural features. Instead, opt for organic makeup products in neutral tones that flatter your skin tone and reflect your unique style. 

2. Stay Away From High SPF Products

If you’re having an outdoor wedding, avoid lotions and cosmetics with high SPF levels. Sunscreen often contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These ingredients cause flashback, meaning they will give your face a white cast in any pictures taken with flash. Instead, stay in the shade whenever possible or wear products with low SPF levels to avoid sunburns.  

3. Use Primer & Setting Spray

Applying a primer before any other cosmetic will help the look last longer. Primers are available for the face, lips, cheeks, and eyes and are designed to lock pigment in place. After applying makeup, also put on a setting spray. This product will prevent streaks and fading as the night goes on. 

4. Stock Up on Blotting Paper & Powder

You might perspire during the event, which could leave makeup looking oily. Apply a translucent powder when needed, as it will help combat the shine. If you don’t have time to tend to your makeup, carry blotting papers on you. The sheets will soak up excess oil.
