Wedding Makeup to Make Your Day Gorgeous

Wedding makeup doesn’t have to be difficult. Most brides really do “glow” on their big day! The trick is to let that radiance shine through. (expert advice)

BEGIN WITH THE BASICS

Since it’s the first step in your makeup ritual, let’s start with foundation. Mineral foundations are an excellent choice because they provide just the right amount of coverage, without being cakey or greasy.

RawMinerals offers premium quality mineral foundation with flawless coverage and remarkable staying power. These 100% natural minerals feel lighter-than-air and impart a soft glow without appearing shimmery –the arch enemy of good wedding photos since shimmery makeup can translate to oily looking skin!

To apply, dab the brush in the powder, tap to release excess and swirl the brush across the face. You won’t need much product to create a perfect canvas.

OF CHEEKBONES AND BLUSH TONES

The next area to tackle is the cheek.You’ll want a healthy, natural look so choose a blush or bronzer that is subtle and healthy-looking. Mineral Glow by RawMinerals warms the complexion to create a sun-kissed luminescence.

Apply Mineral Glow to each area of your face that is naturally touched by the sun: forehead, top of the nose, and the cheeks. In addition to giving skin a healthy radiance, the powder will help control oil and shine.

EYES DO

Your wedding day is not the time to get extravagant with your eye makeup. You will want to stick with a look that is neutral and waterproof.

Start with an eyeshadow primer and follow with a neutral trio of shadows such as RawMinerals Tuscany Pinks. First, apply the neutral shade from your lid to your eyebrow. Next, dab the lightest shadow on the very inner corners of your eyes. This will help to make your eyes really pop. On the outside corner, lightly dust the darkest shade in a “V”, drawing color underneath to add definiton. Line with a pencil that complements your eye color and finish with a waterproof mascara.

Top off your look with a soft shade of matte, cream, or semi-matte lipstick.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Play around with mineral makeup a few weeks before your wedding to get used to applying your wedding look. Starting in advance will also help you take advantage of the skin-perfecting power of minerals. Only RawMinerals has active botanicals that actually improve skin tone and texture while you’re wearing the makeup, so skin will be in tip-top shape for your special day!
