Stunning Make-up Tips for Warm Season Brides
 

Before any delay, here are some awesome make-up tips for brides who have decided to tie to know in peak summers:
 

1. Pick the right Moisturizer: Firstly, you should go for a moisturizer that goes well with your skin. Don’t experiment with new products on such an important day of your life. It’s important that your skin stays relaxed and nourished for make-up. Most experts would recommend an oil-free moisturizer from a luxury brand. Fiona Stiles, a popular celebrity make-up artist, definitely goes by this rule during summers. And LA heat can definitely take a toll on your make-up. If you can invest in a product that is also above SPF 30, it will be even better. Some brands to consider are Neutrogena, Mary Kay, etc.
 

2. Sun Protection with SPF: It becomes imperative to protect your skin from those harmful direct sun rays.  In order to do that, you will have to pick a moisturizer that is SPF 50 or apply sunscreen separately. Most experts recommend SPF 30 or higher. However, if you’re located in a region like Australia, it’s better that you look for something with SPF 50. After all, Southern Australia is one region which reports the highest cases of skin cancer. There are certain regions where sun rays can be more harmful. Thus, make sun protection a priority. Otherwise, you can end up with a lot of long-term problems.
 

3. Invest in a Quality Primer: Ask any make-up artist and they’ll tell you that a powerhouse primer is like a cheat code in the make-up world. Primers are used to enhance make-up coverage by creating a smoothing effect. Moreover, they also help make-up stay on for longer. During a long event such as a wedding, the use of primer becomes even more crucial. You will need to have your make-up on for hours, and there will be very little time for you to rush to the washroom to tidy it up. There are some primers in the market that use hyaluronic acid to blur the imperfections and soften the wrinkles. No7 Airbrush Away Primer by Good Housekeeping Seal is one such primer. There are other high-end primers available as well. However, if you invest in a make-up artist, you can get all these benefits for a lot less.
 

4. Keep it subtle (thin make-up): Usually, it’s a good idea to keep the make-up minimum during peak summers. Never trade your comfort for looks. If you cannot enjoy your wedding, which is a once-in-a-lifetime event, there is not much use of fancy make-up. Thus, if you want, you can keep the make-up to a minimum, go some something elegant and simple. That way, you’ll be comfortable and will be able to enjoy the biggest day of your life to the fullest.
 

5. Skip the Powder Blush: Powder blushes can make your make-up puffy, which can also lead to cracks. Thus, you’ll feel irritated and the make-up won’t look good as well. So, it’s not a bad idea to skip the powder blush altogether. Instead of a powder blush, you can use a stain or some cream blush. They’ll do the same job without the risk of creating cakes on your face. Even if you decide to go with powder blush, make sure that you keep a light hand at it.
 

6. Go for Dewiness: At one point, you will have to make a choice between dewiness and shine. During summers, it’s better that you go for dewiness. That way, you’ll be more comfortable throughout the event. For this, you will require blotting papers. They’re very cheap and easy to find. To perk your make-up up, blot before you put the powder on. After all, you wouldn’t want to eliminate the shine altogether. You’ll still want your face to glow up. 
 

7. Waterproof Products: The primary issue for make-up artists during summer events is sweat. Sweat can easily wash away make-up and the result is often a horrible mess. From raccoon eyes to smeared lipstick, heat can affect any make-up touch. Thus, it’s a good idea to invest in waterproof products. You’d want to begin with waterproof mascara. You can also get your eyelashes tinted if you want. Every make-up product that you buy should be waterproof. That way, you wouldn’t have to worry about sweat ruining anything. In fact, you can also go for a swim to beat the heat!
 

8. Keep your Arsenal Packed: Always keep a basic make-up kit as a backup in your purse. Better yet, ask your bridesmaid to carry all the essential make-up stuff for you. That way, if anything gets ruined, you can quickly take correction measures. A lipstick of the same shade, some powder, a brush, mascara, moisturizer, wet wipes, etc. These are some of the basic make-up products that you should always carry with you. This is especially true for brides on their wedding day, as they’re usually in the spotlight throughout the event, and will their handy kit on demand.
 

9. Use a Setting Spray: A setting spray is something that is utilized by every make-up artist out there. This world is a chaotic place, and it’s important to seal your make-up before you hit the dance floor or the stage. A setting spray will lock your look in place. After that, you won’t have to worry about ruining anything with movement or external conditions. With a setting spray, your make-up will also last longer. Some of the best make-up setting sprays include Urban Decay All Nighter Long Setting Spray, NYX Professional Makeup Setting Spray Matte, Maybelline Lasting Fix Makeup Setting Spray, etc.  
 

10. Morning Toners (Shine): “Rise and shine” - a phrase only true for those who use morning toners. If you’ve decided that you cannot give up on shine, you might want to invest in a good morning toner. A mattifying toner, for instance, will help you keep the shine in check without compromising on the same. The best choice for a bride would be a salicylic acid toner. Such toners can also do away with dead skin cells, and they retain oil. Thus, you get a perfect balance between matte and shine. If you struggle with acne, then morning toners such as Sunday Riley Martian Mattifying Melting Water-Gel Toner become a necessity.
 

11. Bronze is the New Gold: If anything is synonymous with summertime radiance, it’s a decent bronzer. One rule of thumb to remember is to always choose a bronzer that is two shades darker than your skin tone. Bronzers are able to liven up a face by adding warmth and color to it. Thus, they become all the more important during summertime. With it, you can also add dimensions to your face by contouring. This aspect of bronzers is gaining popularity exponentially. Today, there are even services such as hair contouring.
 

12. Lipstick Within the Lines: During summer, it’s quite common for lipstick to melt. Thus, it’s better that you keep the lipstick within the lines of your lips. That way, only the groom will smear it and not the heat. For precision, you can also make use of a lip pencil. Lip pencils can keep your favourite floral lipcolors from migrating into the lines that are around your mouth. Always match your lip liner with your lipstick.
 

13. Avoid Congestion; Prefer Air-conditioners: Once you’ve applied all your make-up and taken all the precautions, it’s all about being smart. Avoid congested places and try to keep yourself in air-conditioned rooms. A bride only has to be on stage during the ceremony. Most of the time, you will be spending in an air-conditioned room. Thus, you can brace your make-up according to your schedule. Moreover, you should not go for heavy meals while wearing heavy make-up. It can take you some time to tidy everything up. Moreover, you won’t even feel that hungry when you have make-up on.
 

 14. Avoid Heavy Fragrances: Another thing to avoid during summers is a heavy fragrance. During summers, heavy fragrances can become overwhelming. You might just end up feeling sick if you apply too much fragrance. With sweat dripping down your neck, you wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a heavy fragrance at all times. Go for lighter perfumes instead.
 

 15. Schedule a Make-up and Hair Trial: At your wedding, you’ll probably get your make-up done by a professional. Thus, when you book the professional’s services, ensure that you get a make-up and hair trial. That way, you can decide whether that particular professional is the right one for you or not. Moreover, you can also get comfortable with the type of make-up you’ll be putting on during your wedding. Also, ensure that you get the full make-up trial. Don’t settle for anything less. Make-up will play a very important role in determining the nature of your experience during that day. If you’re uncomfortable and cranky, the whole event can go down the drains.
 

16. Lashes? Lashes are back in fashion. Faux lashes are becoming more and more common, and for good reason. They look amazing on almost everyone. Some decent faux lashes can amplify your aesthetics ten-folds. This is especially true for pictures. Lashes tend to look really good in the pictures. And in today’s age, we document every aspect of our life on social media through pictures and videos. Thus, it’ll be amazing if you use some nice faux lashes on your wedding day. The bride should stand out from the crowd.
 

 17. Proper Use of Foundation (down to the neck): One of the most common mistakes that a lot of brides make is in their use of foundation. Many brides tend to focus only on their face and forget about their neck and hands. Any part of your body that will be visible should match the skin-tone of your face. At times, brides usually don’t apply foundation on their neck. The result is a mismatch in the skin tone of their neck and face. They end up looking really odd, as the difference is often highlighted by flashy lights and all the attention on the bride. To avoid this, you should apply foundation down to your neck, so there is consistency.
 

Summer and spring weather means a lot of outdoor weddings, and lot of outdoor activities, so being prepared always helps. If you keep these wedding make-up tips in mind, you will have a banger of a wedding during the summer season. Keep it light and subtle, and you’ll go a long way. Beauty comes from combinations. If you keep the combination of all the make-up elements and your dress right, you won’t go wrong fashion-wise.
