Your wedding is a unique event in your life. You’ve probably dreamt about how beautiful this day will be for you.  Your dress, hair and make-up are essential elements of the entire wedding style. Your bridal make-up should match your style and character: highlighting your advantages and hiding minor flaws. To help guide you in getting your make up just right, we share with you our 7 golden make-up rules every bride needs to know, before her big day.

Pamper skin with masks and treatments   

A few days before the big event prepare your skin using facial masks. Choose peeling or clay masks that will cleanse your skin and purify your pores.

Moisturize skin before make-up

Hydrate your skin with a moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type on the morning of your wedding day. This will make your skin look healthy and glowy throughout the day.

Primer before foundation

Apply a primer only to the T-zone, the place where skin typically emits the most sebum and begins to glow after some time – forehead, nose and chin. The lightweight mattifying oil – free formula of our NOTE Skin Perfecting Primer instantly blurs imperfections, reduces the appearance of pores and helps control shine.

Perfect coverage

Your wedding make-up needs to look perfect both during the wedding and in the countless  photos you will most likely take.  If  your make up is too matte your skin could look very tired. It needs to look flawless, but above all fresh, that’s why avoid heavy foundations. Remember to pick a foundation as close to your skin tone as possible, or the tone of your neck. Our NOTE Mattifying Extreme Wear Foundation could be your ideal match, it provides long-lasting finish and full coverage, giving skin a beautiful matte finish, but not too matte.

Natural shades for face make up

Choose simple colours such as light brown, peach and rose gold. Your face should be slightly illuminated, but with a controlled, not too strong shine. Try our NOTE Baked Highlighter 02 Sun Kiss on your cheekbones, to add a perfect glowing effect on your skin.

Avoid extravagant choices

Simple, natural- looking make-up is always more elegant, so avoid excessively dark eyeshadows, intensive lipsticks shades and over-powdered face. Use neutral shades of beige and browns, pinks, peach and gold eyeshadows. If your eyes are small, use shimmery eyeshadows and bright colours that optically enlarge your eyelid. Try our NOTE Professional Eye Shadow 106 with a range of natural and long-lasting shades and our creamy, rich and kiss-proof NOTE Mattever Lipstick.

Waterproof and sweat-proof make up

Humidty and sweat can cause makeup to simply melt away. Therefore, you’ll need to choose products that are  “waterproof  and sweat-proof”. Our NOTE Luminous Silk Compact Powder helps even out skin tones, and reduces shine for a natural, flawless appearance.  Try our Volume One Touch Waterproof Mascara … it’s almost guaranteed you’ll shed a tear or two during your wedding.
