There’s a lot of truth in the cliche that brides look their most radiant and beautiful with natural make-up. The right bridal make-up should enhance rather than hide the beauty and facial features of the woman wearing it. Here are a few tips to get you started on what kind of bridal make-up you want for your wedding.

For daytime weddings, always use light make-up. Your foundation should match your skin tone and it should be blended well to avoid a marked delineation below your neck. If your wedding will take place during the late afternoon, you can make your make-up a little stronger by using darker colors - but make sure it doesn’t look artificial!

For evening weddings, choose a foundation that’s a shade paler than your natural skin tone to create luminous-looking skin. Elaborate eye make-up looks best for young brides, as well as a dark lipstick that will match the bouquet. Even though evenings call for darker make-up, do keep your mascara and eyeliner light. Weddings can be very emotional events and chances are you might shed a tear or two - and your eyeliner will definitely smudge, even if it’s waterproof.

Brides who wear glasses should keep their eye make-up simple since lenses tend to magnify your eyes. You could just junk your glasses altogether and wear contact lenses, just for one evening.

If you intend to hire a make-up artist, do a trial run of your make-up before making any final decisions on how you want to look on your wedding day.
