TIPS FOR LONG LASTING MAKEUP ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

It is very important to be CAMERA READY the entire day of your wedding! The ideal makeup application would be airbrush because it lasts up to 18hrs without needing any touch-ups! When researching qualified makeup artists make sure they offer this application so you can try it and decide which application, Airbrush / Traditional, works best for you.

In the event you are not choosing to hire a makeup artist and will be doing your own makeup or allowing a "family friend" to do it as a gift, here are a few tips to help ensure you look great all day!

** FOUNDATION PRIMER**
this is a very important product to have on hand to make sure your foundation blends evenly & stays put!
My fav primer is Smashbox Photofinish Foundation Primer



**EYESHADOW PRIMER**
to make sure your eyeshadow doesn't fade or crease apply the primer before your desired eyeshadow color(s)
My fav primer is Urban Decay Primer Potion




**EYELASH EXTENSIONS**
I recommend adding lashes to your look to bring out your eyes! if you are not comfortable with this and prefer mascara, use a waterproof mascara in case of tears! You dont want black tear streaks down your face!
I dont have a fav lash brand.........you can go to CVS, Walmart or Sallys Beauty Supply to find some!
My fav mascara is L'Oreal Voluminous (Waterproof) (Black)


**EYE KOHL**
You want to line your eyes with a liner that is waterproof as well. So i recommend an eye kohl for easy blending and staying power
As far as brands: MAC; Makeup Forever; Urban Decay (try these brands-they have great waterproof eye pencils)


**LIPS**
I love for lips to be natural with a hint of gloss!
Brands I love are: NARS; IMAN; L'Oreal; Laura Mercier

Primers play a very important role in your makeup application! Without them your makeup will NOT last! So if a professional makeup artist is not in your wedding budget please keep these simple tips in mind!
