Makeup Monday- bridal masterclass

I attended a Bridal masterclass with MAC makeup artist Cher Webb. She gave some great tips and created two different looks. Cher is a makeup artist to the Stars, Fashion Week and several Awards events. She said she likes to, 'make real women and men feel and look their very best.' 

Wedding makeup is about enhancing the Bridal party's natural features without looking like they're wearing anything. Prepping the skin is an essential part of bridal makeup. It is important for the Bride to look after her skin with a regular home skincare regime that includes exfoliation. It is also important to keep the  skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and not too much alcohol. 

Smokey eyes and glowing skin with red lips are trending this season. If red lips are taking centre stage it is important to create the look around the lip colour. By starting with bright red lips, less colour is needed on the cheeks and eye area. 

Smokey eyes are created by contouring with a selection of dark neutral colours. Blending and layering a mixture of dark and light nude eyeshadows and liners develops the definition with a soft finish. 

When going for a wedding makeup trial bring pictures of desired makeup looks, a swatch of the dress, and any accessories that will be worn on the Special day. This enables the makeup artist to use Colours to compliment and enhance the Bride's natural beauty.
